Against PT abuse dry needling without an acupuncture license
 

Dry needling is acupuncture practice scope should be respected as profession. Anyone who practice/performing Dry needling should have acupuncture license so won’t put patients in danger. Acupuncture is a treasure to Chinese Medicine; one should be trained in acupuncture school for 4 years. Acupuncture should not be abused by other profession such a physical therapist or any other profession without acupuncture diploma.
