NO to Dry needling done by Physical Therapists
 

Dry needling is effectively acupuncture and should be practiced by those who are fully trained and fully licensed as acupuncturists.  Let the treatments work in tandem with one another, but be practiced by fully trained, and fully licensed practitioners.
