Strongly OPPOSE to dry needling to anyone who is not a licensed acupuncturist
 

To protect the public from misuse and/lack of adequate knowledge and training to perform a form of acupuncture, such as dry needling, by an untrained person, this suggestive measure should be dismissed and blocked by the committee. No one should put public health in jeopardy due to a lack of safety awareness.
