From ancient times Acupuncturist have performed acupuncture on trigger points or what we refer to as ashi points. Calling it "dry needling" is clearly a cowardly hijacking of acupuncture under the guise of a different name without the acupuncture training. This is an example of a pathetic grasp to rename, reclaim an ancient practice that has survived the tests of time.

Of course all of the AT's and PT's, etc on this petition are ALL in support of this therapy (ACUPUNCTURE).... IT WORKS, acupuncturists all know this.   

Non-acupuncturist: (wo)man up, come clean and call it what it is AND get the training to practice Acupuncture legally.
