If your a good healthcare professional, you don't need to put down another profession or better yet, steal another profession's therapy to add-on on yours to make you look better in front of patients. Public safety issue aside, patients are not pigs, they are real human beings with flesh and feelings, yes, in the short term, you might be able to convince them that your not doing acupuncture, your doing a new way of needling, called Dry Needling. But soon afterwards, when your alone and sleeping in your bed at night, I hope you don't encounter any nightmare scenerios in which a patient full of needles come at you, seeking retribution because you are not a licensed acupuncturist. Just saying... sweet dreams!
