Dry needling is acupuncture,this is original instructer who created dry needling already agreed.He is a Chinese acupuncturist came from China wants to help someone practice with out acupuncture license in North America. As a licensed professional acupuncturist needs at least 2500 or 3500 hours study and training. It's very different knowledge with PT's training.There are many cases patients had dry needling treatment from Physical therapists get injured in organ such as lung,liver; nerves, tissue and muscle...That is why every medical practice needs license to have qualification to serve public and protect public. PT with few weekends training practice for dry needling is very dangerous to public safety. Just like a lawyer can't practice medicine, even he has doctor degree in law. Acupuncture profession is small alternative in North America now, because it's works,many medical professionals want include in their practice to benefit patient but needs to have same license like acupuncturist does to protect public safety and respect human life.The legislation is for public safety not just for money and political.
