I am writing to voice my support to allow Athletic trainers in the state of VA to utilize dry needling in accordance with their full scope of care. I have worked with AT’s in the military tactical space and they provide a critical service to our force. Dry needling is a modality that is used all the time in our setting and it provides critical relief to our service members. Every AT using dry needling is listened and certified and have executed their duties with the highest level of skill and professionalism. Please do not limit their ability to use all their tools to support our warfighters.
