Opposition to Athletic Trainers Doing Dry Needling
 
I am opposed to athletic trainers using dry needling because of 1) concerns about their limited scope of practice and experience ; 2) lack of strict training and certification as required for licensed acupuncturists; 3) safety concerns as a result of the lack of training.
