oppose to dry needing by PT
 

Dry needle is a part of acupuncture, which should under the law of acupuncture. Physicl therapy are illegally using acupuncture needle to practice "dry needle". They do not have th enough acupuncture training, which need 3000 hours. They do not have the training to insert needles to patient's body. What they do "dry needle" will cause a public safety.
