Oppose to dry needling by PT?
 

It is illegal for PT to use acupuncture needle to practice needling;

It's illegal to bypass the acupuncture law to practice "dry needling";

It's irresponsible for untrained PT to practice acupuncture with tne name of dry needling!

There is a high risk factor for public health for dry needling by untrained hysical therapists.
