OPPOSED:

Out of Scope for AT’s:

All filiform needle therapies are the practice Acupuncture

Filiform Needle = Acupuncture needle.

Acupuncture is regulated with specific education, training and board licensure to practice legally. No other profession should employ acupuncture therapy without adequate training and legal authority to do so. Public Health Danget!
