dry needling is acupuncture
 

PT says because dry needling's theory.and treat purpose differernt from acupuncture, so dry needling is not acupuncture that is wrong.

acupuncture have a few different theory itself, we cannot say under to which theory practice is acupuncture is acupuncture, another is not acupuncture. use needling insert to patient skin to treat illness that all belong to acupuncture.
