PT insert acupuncture needle into the human body to treat diseases or disorder, this same as acupuncturist using the needle puncture the Ashi point, this is the scope of acupuncture, as a professional acupuncturist need at least 3 years training and 1000 hours clinic internship, but PT only less 100 hours training to do the acupuncture, only they Chang the name as "dry needle ". Which is unsafe for the patients and illegal.
So I oppose PT to practice "dry Needle ", if they want using Acupuncture, they must have enough training and get acupuncture license
