Dry needling is just a Nother name for acupuncture, should only be practiced by licensed acupuncturi
 

 Only a licensed acupuncturist with over 3000 hours of training should be allowed to place acupuncture needles in a patient. Physical therapist do not receive this training.This is very unsafe for the public.
