Dry needle practice has too less training. That is risk for patients. It should be stopped.
 

Dry needle practice has too less training and it has a risk to patients. It should be stopped. Dry needle is Acupucture. PT want to do Acupucture, please attend Acunpucture program and get proper training and pass your Acupucture board exam and get Acupucture license. You can serve the public with Acupucture in a safe manner.
