From the view of general public (patient), I can not image that the dry needle is invading into my body, which in performing by physical therapist. How dare they do like this with only 54 hr training time. Even one point from the dry needling by PT for the purpose of pain relieve or increasing movement, the just one point might decrease function of Liver, Heart, Spleen, Lung, Kidney, Gallbladder, Small Instetine, Stomach, Large Intestine, and Bladder according to the traditional chinese medicine, which has over 3000 year medicine history. Vice versa, the just one point might make excitement the 12 organs. The dry needle is not simple but huge complicated so it is the reason that professional acupuncture and oriental medicine academia and practice are required prior to start insert needles into the body. Even If there exists only 0.1% possibility to damage human itself, no one can allow the risky regulation related to publinc human health.
ABSOLUTELY NOT ALLOW PT TO USE DRY-DEEDLE. PT DO THEIR OWN WAY OR TECHNIQUE RATHER THAN DRY NEEDLE. PT CAN REFERER PT TO LICENSED ACUPUNCTURIST, IF NECCESSARY. IT IS VERY SIMPLE.
