Say no to PT practicing dry needling!
 

I am a patient and I have heard about the dry needling. I know there is a great risk associated with inexperienced dry needling practices and with not enough knowledge about the dry needling. As for many patients out there who believe that only the licensed acupuncturists can practice dry needling, we are against the proposal that allow the PTs to practice dry needling.
