Strongly Oppose!!
 

Dry needling by anyone other than a thoroughly trained Licensed Acupuncturist, is setting up patients for grave danger to be injured (pneumothorax, as well as other internal organ punctures and multiple injuries). We have gone through extensive training, thousands of hours and deserve a right to protect our profession. Please keep the general public protected, as well as our profession that is our livelihood. 

Sincerely,

 

Mandi Trimas, L.Ac.
