A patient of mine shared their experience of dry needling performed by a PT: one needle was stuck in the muscle, and the PT was panicking. 

Although dry needling is one of the needling methods in acupuncture, dry needling is not supposed to be independant/separated from the system of TCM diagnosis and treatment principle, which is always assess a patient's whole-body physical and mental health condition and use acupuncture points in addition to the local pain spots. 

Please leave the needling part to qualified/licensed acupuncturists only. This can best assure the safety and therapeutic effect of needling for the patients, including you and me.
