Dry needling is acupuncture!
 

To whom it may Concern,

Please protect public safety by preventing physical therapists from doing "dry needling". This is just a term used by PT's to bypass an acupuncture license and use acupuncture needles without the proper medical knowledge  or training. This is truly an outrage and a threat to public safety.

Sincerely,

Dr. Amy L. Snyder, L.Ac., DAOM
