Against Dry Needling Without Acupuncture License
 

This is to state my opposition to allowing those without the credentials and training to practice techniques that are by nature acupuncture methodology and are categorized under the blanket term "dry needling".  Those engaging in these practices should be held to the same credentialing standards and requirements as those applied to Licensed Acupuncturists.
