Commenter: David Lin Patient before Dry needling

opposed only training so little hours for PT to practice dry needling.
 

before I used dry needling for my neck and back pain, from  PT to treated over one year, only received little benifits but spend lots money. When I swiched to a Acupuncturist for My problems I get improved much quikly than PT.

Dry needling is same needle as acupuncturist use treat for  patient, same insertion to patient body, to get therapy effect. why?  They training only so little hours.I thinking  them do this practice prior, need to study as acupuncturist in full training level, pass exam from NCCAOM to get qualify to practice Dry needling. (Actually is acupuncture)
