Stop PTs from using Dry Needling!
 
The use of dry needling corrupts the respectable practice of true acupuncturists. Physical therapy is a separate education as well. Acupuncturist aren't doing physical therapy, and neither should they be doing Acupuncture. Calling it something different doesn't mean that it is different. It's the education that matters. If they want to do Acupuncture that's fine, then go to school for it.
