No to PTs dry needling
 

Dry needling should not be allowed.  PT do not have the adequate training for this.  Acupuncture of any form should be done by a Licensed Acupuncturist who has extensive training 3-4 years not a weekend!! They should stick to their own profession and let Licensed Acupuncturist do the job they are trained for.
