My PT is very qualified to dry needle
 

I believe that my Physical Therapist has the knowledge and training to administer the services of dry needling and should continue to be able to do so.  They are highly trained and possess the anatomical, physiological and clinical knowledge to perform trigger point dry needling.  Since they treat neurological, muscula and skeletal movement systems via many modalities, they are well practiced and I feel, the most knowledgable to administer this service.  I say YES to PT's administering dry needling.
