Now, more and more other practitioners than acupuncturist want to do dry needling. But dry needling is part of acupuncture that requires practitioners use trigger points. It often used on pain management. But for pain they use local points on neck, shoulder and many other body areas. It can be very dangerous and may cause serious nerve damage if they don’t know how far the needle suppose to go in. Acupuncture is a systemic study that require lots of time and deeper training. People who want to use needle to treat body should know channel, points location, indication and contraindications. I disagree with letting other practitioners to do dry needling. Only strict regulations can make the whole treatment more trustworthy for patients. And only using right points can make the treatments more beneficial.
