Strongly oppose
 

I oppose athletic trainers doing dry needling. Acupuncturists spend 4 years and 1000 clinical hours to be able to properly diagnose and treat patients. Throwing needs into a muscle can be dangerous and detrimental to a person’s diagnosis and treatment.I strongly oppose allowing athletic trainers to perform dry needling.
