Oppose the dry needling treatment by PT
 

 

* It is illegal for Physical therapist to use acupuncture needle to practice "dry needling",

* It is illegal to bypass the acupuncture law to practice "dry needling",

* It is irresponsible for untrained physical therapists to practice acupuncture with the name of "dry needling".

* It is also a public safety issue!
