Opposing PT to do dry needling with such limited hours of training
 
Patient's safety is the first priority. Dry needling with such limited hours'training will do more harm than good. LAs has 960 hours clinical training and 4 to 6 years of training on acupuncture. Please oppose PTs doing dry needling on patients.
