There are many different technical styles of Acupuncture. Dry needling is one of them. PT want to do acupuncture by changing the name from acupuncture to Dry needling to avoid serious professional study. Acupuncture is so effective not only for patients with pain but also patients with many other illnesses. PT may use theirs almost zero knowledge about acupuncture to damage public health. If PT want to use acupuncture needles to help their patients, they should obtain enough education.  We can't trust somebody  doing acupuncture  with so little training.  PT has no right to "Dry needling". Dry needling is acupuncture!!!
