Action | Practice of dry needling |

Comment Period | Ended on 2/24/2017 |
Dry needling training is entirely inadequate to protect public safety and consumers. And since dry needling is actually acupuncture, it will give a bad name to our legitimate profession. Certified and licensed acupuncturists learn this in-depth medicine over many years. People who do dry needling often take a couple weekend courses, or less. Please protect the public from this irresponsible practice. And please protect the livelihood of acupuncturists who deserve to reap the benefits of their labor. Thank you!
