Oppose dry needle
 

Oppose dry needle by PT??Fifty hours' training is definitely far from the necessary training time to do the medical treatment by needle. I got a question……how many hours does a nurse need to be trained before he or she could drawing blood for a patient independently for the purpose of medical test???So let alone for all kinds of medical treatment purposes??So again?I do strongly oppose the dry needle by PT?Fifty hours?It is crazy?
