Dry needling-- part of the acupuncture treatment call trigger point treatment. PT changed the wording for using the same treatment for the patients but less training hours. It puts the patients life in risk. If PT want to have dry needling for their practice, at least they need to have certain training time like MD does. BTW, acupuncture needles can be purchased by licensed acupuncturist only base on the FDA guidelines. PT buy needles illegally and the has to be ban.
