We demand immediate action:

Enforce existing acupuncture licensure laws. Dry needling is acupuncture; its practice must require full acupuncturist licensure.

Hold violators accountable. States like California, Hawaii, and New York already prohibit dry needling by non-acupuncturists-this standard must become universal.

Patient safety cannot be sacrificed for convenience or profit. Licensed acupuncturists stand united to end this dangerous charade.

Sincerely,
