This requires 3 years of post graduate work where a PT earns their doctorate and they can then continue to take weekend courses to help them become certified in dry needling. It is more than just a weekend course. It is a useful treatment to help aide in patients quicker recovery in adjunct to additional physical therapy treatments. It is different than accupuncture and would be known from someone with adequate training in this.
