Dry Needling is esentially Tradidiotional Chinese Acupuncture, this techniques is not just applying needles inside the body, it is based on identification of the whole body type, to address the pathogens and the corresponding treatment strategies, then apply needles inside the body. But we do have Ashi points, which means whereever someone has certain pain, we may apply needles in the local area for the pain. PT uses the same techniques but different name to practice, this will lead to many possible consequences: 1) safety issues. They (PT) are not well trained in needling, acupuncturist are trained at least 2200 hours, they are not, they may be misdiagnose and apply needles for some pain caused by internal disorders and hurt the internal organs; 2) Confusion to the public: once some incidence happens, either it is not working, or causes death of patients, the patients will accuse this type of needling, or traditional acupuncture, the public don't know it is dry needle or acupuncture, the needles are the same. Then the public will acuse acupuncture. 3) Conflict of interest. Government have different budget for PTs and acupuncturists, if PTs do teh same practice, they will take away majority of patients, acupunturists will lose their patients a lot. Because the ratio of the popualtion is PT: Acupuncture = 20:1, this is big conflict of interest.
