PT guys:
I understand you are interested in acupuncture and you want to incerese your business by using acupuncture.
But you should go the normal way to get the acupuncture license.You should go to acupuncture school to study then pass the board test.You should understand there are protection and regulations for every profession.
The medical regulation doesn't allow a nurse who know some medical terms to be a madical doctor.If a nurse who doesn't study in medica school become a doctor.What results will be happened? It is clear the nurse will damage the interest of patients and
medical doctors.Samething as a nurse,If a PT who just study a little acupuncture with shallow knowledge stick
acuouncture needle to patients.The PT will damage the interest of patients and licensed acupuncturists.Please
don't try to get your interest by damading other people's interest.It is unmoral.
"Dry needle" is not acupuncture term.There is no this term in any ancient and morden acupuncture books.The term is not accurate and serious.All kind of needles are dry.Even injection needle dry before injection." Dry needle" is not scientific term for acupuncture needle.It is a wrong concept. We should discard the wrong term. We should respect science.If some new profession not scientific, we should ban it.
