Oppose "dry needling"
 

Dry needling is dangerous. Improper training in any medical field is dangerous. Dry needling or any needling of a patient (no matter what it's called) when you do not go through the necessary training should NOT be allowed. If someone desires to have acupuncture under their scope of practice they should be a licensed acupuncturist.
