Only acupuncturists should needle..
 

I oppose athletic trainers doing dry needling because compared to our 4 years of training, they have not enough training to do dry needling which is a repackaged name for acupuncture. If athletic trainers want to do dry needling, then they should go to Acupuncture school.
