Safety is the number one concern and I assure you. That ATs are already practicing the same precautions as other allied health professionals when it comes to dry needling. Getting certified to do it is the same courses as any other medical profession. Other states already recognize this and allow it. And some Athletic Trainers already have the certification and have experience applying/utilizing it in other states. If PTs are about to do it, ATs are more than capable and knowledgeable enough to do it as well.
