Oppose Dry Needling
 

Oppose Dry Needling

Dry Nedling is acupuncture.

Acupuncurist  are  trained  and  safe,  with  years  of  education  for  public  safety.  Whether  you  think  DN  is  the same  or  not,   those  PTs  who  now  wish  to  do  dry  needling   lack  the education  to   do  so  safely  and  are  doing  damage  to the  public.  

For example:  There are  procedures  that  a  surgeon  does  that  you  would  not  allow  a  massage therapist  to  do.  Think  about  this.

Thank  you.
