I'm a former ICU charge nurse, then nurse anesthetist and now nationally board certified acupuncturist (a total of 10 years of medical education). My acupuncture training was 4 years and 1800 hours of class/clinic work. 

There are many instances of those without the years of training to be a licensed acupuncturist causing pneumothorax (a dropped lung) doing "dry needling". Of course, when there's a complication caused by those with inadequate education, it's then called acupuncture.

Leave medical care in the hands of those who are fully trained.
