Dangers of Dry Needling
 

To the Virginia Board of Physical Therapy: Please understand that so-called "dry-needling" should not be practiced by those without thorough training in acupuncture technique, theory, and hygiene.  Dry needling is acupuncture! Please do not put your state's citizens at risk.
