Opposed to athletic trainers dry needling
 

Athletic trainers should not be able to perform pseudo acupuncture with a scant 25 hours of training. This is not safe for the public. Acupuncture is extremely effective and safe when performed by a licensed professional with sufficient training and experience. Athletic trainers do not meet this standard. They have a fraction of the training that LAc's or MD's receive.

Thanks for listening!
