If Ms. Clark is right in saying, and I quote " No profession can claim a tool or technique for itself. Acupuncturists cannot claim the monofilament used in dry needling as exclusively their own. A PT who performs dry needling should be certified by an approved entity. A practical examination should show proficiency and safety in the technique before he or she can use this technique on patients.", then Acupuncturists can perform surgeries too, because surgerons cannot claim the monofilament used in acupuncture as exclusive their own, small knife-edge  practitoner should be using  surgical knifes and cut patients up and there is no need for surgeons to do surgeries. Get your p facts straight, PT's scope is long and wide, but they should not using needles to penetrate the school, leave that to the  professionals, and they are called "Acupuncturists"
