Dry Needling is a western form of "Acupuncture"
 

Anti-dry needle is only as fight against flu in the promotion of Chinese medicine, after beat the flu, would only exposed the internal tumor in the expending of Chinese medicine. From the history of the development of acupuncture in the United States for forty years, it is concluded that the branch out into different sub sections should be the main focus for Chinese medicine in the United States in the future. The clinical efficacy of the physical therapist is far less from a similar specialty of Chinese medicine doctor, Chinese medicine should be focused on branch out into sub divisions, so that we could compete with physical therapist in their core competency, and bring the battlefield to their door step.
