For everyone who has made the comment that athletic trainers are doing dry needling for profit or to do harm to their patients: do they understand the people we work with?? Most athletic trainers don't charge for their services, as they are employed through a high school or university. We're trying to use a range of modalities to help our patients however we can, and we're certainly not charging for it. Just trying to help; isn't that what healthcare is all about??
