Against PT practice Dry Needling.
 

Against physical therapist use acupuncture without acupuncture licence 

DRY NEEDLING IS ACUPUNCTURE! IT IS NOT SOMETHING NEW FROM THE WESTERN WORLD. DO NOT STEAL OTHER PROFESSIONAL SKILLS AND CHANGE THE NAME. 

The so called ' dry needle ' , actually is some service that the physical therapist try to use ACUPUNCTURE without proper training and WITHOUT NCCAOM ACUPUNCTURE licence. This could be very dangerous TO THE PUBLIC AND the patients, EVEN MORE, IT CAN RUIN THE ACUPUNCTURE PROFFESSION. MUST STOP NOW!!!
