I oppose dry needling. There is no common sense in letting people who have not been properly trained to practice acupuncture, to suddenly allow them to practice simply in virtue of changing its name to dry needling.

Please give this ancient medicine (acupuncture and chinees medicine) the respect that it deserves, for the protection of the public, and do not allow by a mere semantic manipulation to change the existing regulation.

To practice acupuncture, (dry needling is acupuncture!), the law requires proper training and licensing by the state.

Uphold the law for the security of all.

Please read the following article to see that this issue has been already ruled upon in the state of WA.
