Dry Needling is Acupuncture.
Please opose the practice of acupuncture by unlicensed users. The Board of Physical Therapy lacks the legal authority to expand the physical therapy scope of practice to include dry needling and any attempt to do so would plainly violate state law. For the Health and safety of patients only acupuncturist should needle. Acupuncturist are trained and licensed to Needle.
