Please vote NO to 18VAC85-120-110. As a licensed acupuncturist and nonprofit provider serving marginalized communities, I strongly believe in making acupuncture accessible—but not at the cost of safety. Dry needling is acupuncture and requires comprehensive training. Lowering standards puts patients at risk. I recently treated a woman who suffered severe injury and needed surgery after receiving dry needling from someone inadequately trained. We cannot sacrifice safety in the name of access.
