Ban Dry Needling
 
I oppose dry needling because it disregards the integral philosophy and applications of acupuncture. 54 hours of PT training cannot come close to comparing with the years of comprehensive training that Licensed Acupuncturists are required to obtain. Furthermore it severely limits the full healing potential that acupuncture can provide to patients.
