oppose dry needling practiced by Physical therapist
 

If PT does the needling without understanding complete theory within the acupuncture that will be dangerous and harmful to the patient. Does PT knows about the Qi will be wrongly pull out if the insertion of needles mistakenly.

If PT thinks this is a good plus for the patient, please get the acupuncture licese first. Lots knowledge PT have to learn before performs a needle insertion to a human body. 

Thanks.

Alec
