NO to Physical Therapists using ACUPUNCTURE
 

It is becoming obvious that even the Medical Doctor's training of 1000 hours is not enough for MDs to perform effective and useful acupunture.  PTs have even less training and not only can injur a patient (as have been reported) but also can injure the profession.  Please do not allow this to happen.
