I believe qualified people should be able to administer dry needling.  I would never have gone to an acupuncturist.  I don't go to chiropractors any more.  I went to people I trusted to fix my pain and they did.  I resisted their advice for dry needling for years. When I finally did allow the procedure it helped.  It's not my first choice - I hate needles.  But there are instances when therapists at ITW helped me by using it.  

I still would not ever go to an acupuncturist.  I don't feel I trust the oversight given to them.  There should be regulation for dry needling. I believe it can be poorly done and probably have seriously debilitating repercussions.  I don't believe that only acupuncturist should practice it.  But any one who does practice it should be thoroughly vetted and licensed.
