OPPOSE
 

I OPPOSE any non-licensed Acupuncturist without a Master degree or higher from performing Acupuncture. Dry Needling is acupuncture being performed by persons without Acupuncture licensure. This is a MAJOR infringement upon the rights of Acupuncturists!
I do not perform chiropractic adjustments as an acupuncturist, nor do I counsel patients on exercise therapies.
