Safety issue is very important to professional health service ! No dry needling for PT!
 

Dear Board Member,

As you know, safety issue is most important forprofessional health service. While do you agree with your family, friends will receive the dry needling treatment by PT, who is only reveived 20-40 hours training. While real acupunctrists have to be taken more than 3000 hours sysmetic training and study. Do you think 20-40 hours training is enough by PT for safety issue?

 

Thank you very much!
