Dry seedless belong a part of acupuncture!
 

Dry needle is belong to a part of Chinese medicine, acupuncture! In china, call acupuncture without medicine injection called dry needle! Which belong to part of Chinese medicine acupuncture! but I couldn't understand when it belong to physical therapist's medical tool call it dry needle, and practice it to patients! I really think it is a wrong way to lead patients and medical feile!

 

Patients should be first! I strongly suggest to stop such wrong way in practice dry needle of physical therarpists in clinic!
