Dry needling training is completely inadequate to protect consumer and public safety. Acupuncturist training in VA includes at least 1,365 hours of acupuncture training and 660 of those hours with supervised clinic training. Even MD's have 300 hours of training before being able to do acupuncture. Please thoroughly investigate and understand what dry needling is and why acupuncturists invest almost 4 years of training to get certified. Thank you.
