As Healthcare Professionals, Athletic Trainers have extensive training in the care and treatment of our patients. Dry Needling falls in line with our education in modalities, often being labeled as mechanical modalities, which Athletic Trainers are allowed to perform in their clinics. Athletic training programs are now teaching dry needling in their curriculum, which allows for these students to be trained and prepared to perform this technique, along with other invasive practices such as IV access and wound closure. I fully support the amendment to allow Athletic Trainers the ability to dry needle.
