Physical Therapists have the knowledge and skill to safely and effectively preform dry needling. I possess a doctorate in Physical Therapy and have extensive training in treating the neurological, muscular and skeletal movement systems via many modalities and dry needling is one such modality.    Trigger point dry needling is distinctly different from acupuncture as the treatment goal and method is different.  While both practices may use a similar tool, the clinical reasoning, technique, and goal of the treatment are different. I support the proposed regulations.
