PT dry needling illegal! STOP!!
 

The science of acupuncture is over 5,000 years old and to think only 54-hours of training constitutes an adequate education in the selection of points, proper way to needle, and expected results is more than naive, it is counter the best interests of safety for the public.  Acupuncture education requires years to learn and master, not a month!!
