I support that PTs who are properly certified should be able to perform dry needling as an intervention in the practice of physical therapy. PTs have doctoral degrees that determine they are skilled medical providers to treat anatomical disorders, and therefore, having further education on the safety of dry needling, which is not the equal of acupuncture, should be allowed.
