Dear whom it may concern,
Dry needling is simply the renaming and rebranding of acupuncture and an illegal attempt around acupuncuture statutes and standards. Dry needling is a technique coined by physical therapists, but, it is a rudimentary acupuncture technique. There is no way they can ever be seperate scientifically speaking. Anyone wanting to perfrom acupuncture and other invasive needling techniques, including MDs, DCs, PTs, etc., should follow state acupuncture statutes regarding training and education.
Sincerely,
Dr. Brian Grosam
