Dry needling falls under acunpuncture. Without knowledge of oriental medicine theory and practical training, using dry needling is not safe for the patient.. Placing dry needles incorrectly could lead to placing your patient in harm and can lead to immediate and/or longlasting damage. Dry needling should only be performed by a state-licensed acupuncturist.
