As a Acupuncturist and a Physical Therapist, I oppose physical therapists use so called "dry needling " to their scope of practice. It is acupuncture. Don't try to twist a name in order to grab another profession into practice. This not only a safety issue, but is a professional ethnic issue. How about Acupuncturists practice physical therapy by taking certain hours continue education? Those members of physical therapy board should focus more on increasing PT technics than thinking about other profession.
