Oppose dry needling for athletic trainers
 

This is very unsafe. I have 25 years of experience, 10 of those working doing acupuncture in a level one trauma center, and 27 hours is not sufficient training.  This is laughable, dangerous and negligent. Please protect the public from this absolute nonsense. If athletic trainers want to do acupuncture or dry needling g let them go to acupuncture school. This is a safety issue.
