Dry Needle is the acupuncture
 

The theroy and therapy of Dry Needle is the acupuncture. If PT wants to use it to treat the patient safely, they have to study the same credits as acupuncturist in Colloge. Who can take responsibility for the patient's safety, if PT only take less than 10 credits about the puncture theroy?

I strongly against PT practice Dry Needle on patients!
