Dry needling is part of acupuncture
 

Dry needling is just one small part of Traditional Chinese acupuncture.  Physical therapy association try to use this technique without investing time and effort to learn properly!  That will risk many patient's life and bring bad influence to acupuncture professional.  That is totally unethical!  The worst thing is the impact of this ugly event, which may start the wars among all other professionals! Internist want to surgical procedure! Chiropractic Doctor want to do gynecological work!
