Dear Board of physical Therapy,

We all know that using the dry needles can help the patients to cure the disease but it could cause a serious

damage to the whole body system's function.   I do hope you should understand why WHO and American licensing authorities require 4,000 hours (5 years worth as a full time students) of education and training courses to complete and to pass national examinations "before using the dry needles".

In the past years in Asian countries, they attempted to give the licenses to the professionals including physical therapist, massage therapist, nurses, etc but now they all stopped that program due to many negative outputs

from using the dry neeles to the patients.

An attempt of wrong concept application might lead many innocent citizens to a serious risk.

Sincerely,

Helmsley J. Park, L.Ac
