Acupuncture is a special technique of treatment used by a doctor with well systematically training on both theory and practice. Although traditional terminologies of collateral s and meridians have been applied for thousand years and still used for education of acupucture, the mechenism of acupuncture treatment has been well studied by more scientists for decades.  It is so obvious that the main difference between acupuncture and dry needle is just the name and terminology used. Fifty hours of "dry needle" training is far from enough for safe and effective practice. To be responsible for patient's health and life, we definately say "No".
