dry needling truly is acupuncture
 

"Arshi xue" point in traditional acupuncture, translated to English is "trigger "point. "Arshi xue" point with trigger point is synonym.  Traditional Acupuncture use "Arshi xue" points of acupuncture effectively to treat muscle, nuver and ligament damaged from trauma, over thousand years. Even utilise it treat for hemiplegia that coming from a Stoke, around 50% patient have show very good result.   Help patient Recover body functions.                                                        Try to use different terminology stated: the same job, same work, beyond to avoid by law required need same training level that is totally wrong.
