No to Dry Needling
 

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!
