Dry needling belongs to acupuncture.
Dry needling is not manual therapy and technique. It is Acupuncture! It is unsafe for the public to do Dry Needling by physical therapists taught in a weekend course. If physical therapists want to do Dry Needling, they should go to acupuncture school to study, pass the national board exam, and then apply for state acupuncture license. This is common sense. If you want to perform surgery, please go to medical school to study and then get a medical license before you perform your skill to the public.
