I know PT that have practice illegally dry needling causing more pain and harm to the patient. The Licensed Acupuncture professional has a vast knowledge when it comes to treating patients with needles. Plus we have to do the boards in order to get the Licensed for Acupuncture.
The state needs to really see our superior training and exposure to patients during our Acupuncture training and schooling. Physical therapist wants to get same training in a week compare to 3 years of training for Acupuncture, is impossible and dangerous.
no to dry needling, see how many patients have been harm doing dry needling versus an Acupuncture practitioners. And dry needling is another name for Acupuncture
