These trainers have a history of overreaching and trying to perform skills and services they are unqualified for, compared to the professional specialists... But there is a serious safety concern associated with allowing them to insert needles in clients. Dry needling, as a subset of Acupuncture, is risky enough that only MDs and those with similar doctorate training can perform it. There is no way a trainer can have the appropriate knowledge and skill required to do so safely and consistently.

Do not allow this amendment to pass.
