OPPOSE
 

I oppose athletic trainers performing dry needling. Acupuncture & dry needling should only be performed by board certified, licensed and trained acupuncturists. If you want the ability to do acupuncture & dry needling, then enroll in a fully accredited acupuncture program!!! Stop trying to lower the standards for acupuncture and dry needling!
