Dry needling by those who are unlearned in the foundations of Chinese medicine is a slap in the face to thousands of years of tradition, to students of Chinese Medicine but mostly, to the patient. Without proper knowledge and training, treatment can be ineffectual and lead to a general disregard for acupuncture in the first instance and the entirety of Chinese medicine in the second. Say no.
