"Dry needle" try to bypass acupuncture law!
I'm Licensed Acupuncture physician. Historically, Dry needling is acupuncture, especially, in the east part of China, People called the acupuncture as gan zhen(Chinese pinyin means dry needling) to differentiate with west medicine use solution injection needles.
PT use "Dry needle" try to bypass acupuncture law! Physical therapist are illegally using acupuncture needle to practice "dry needle". They don't have practice scope to insert needles to patient's body!
