it's definitely illegal & dangerous to use the needle without acupuncture licience
 

It will be a disaster, if without a comprehensive system of Chinese Medicine training, who can direct the needle into human body ! It will be a contempt for the Law and encourage people to use variety reasons or excuse for breaking the law! Dry needling is a kind of acupuncture treatment used by the acupuncturist who Must go through strict training of Traditional Chinese Medicine as well as the acupuncture licience for needle implement
