I’m a certified and licensed ATC, with 6 years of education within my profession and many years under my belt. I have been dry needling for over 4 years(throughout different states), and I have been trained to do IVs. Dry needling has helped my patients and has given them the ability to do what they love. I am not a danger to my patients (as some comments have said),but I have been a strong support due the skills I have developed and nurtured through my time as a ATC.I took multi- level courses  in order to dry needle along with physical therapist and other health care providers in the same class. Let athletic trainers dry needle, as long as they’ve taken the certification classes in order to dry needle.
