Oppose PT dry needling
 

acupuncture is very complicated , high level Chinese medicine treatment that should only allow Chinese medicine Doctor to practice. It's takes years and years to practice and some one should hold a Dr. Degree to perform Acupuncture on a patient . I believe it's not safe to let PT to practice acupuncture on a patient. The government should be responsible to patients health. Too much risk involved if PT to practice dry needing .
