Please be aware that it is incredibly easy to harm internal organs and hospitalize people with insufficient training on invasive procedures like dry needling. If athletic trainers want to perform our needling, please require that they go to PT school or acupuncture school. What’s next? Hairdressers performing dry needling? Nail techs? Ask yourself if you would feel comfortable with somebody with no professional level of schooling, putting needles near your lungs, which could easily be punctured and deflated and you hospitalized.
