Dry needling is exclusively for acupuncture
 

I do not support practicing dry needling without an extensive length of formal educational training. Practice of dry needling by non acupuncturist will not give any benefit to the patients and could put them in worse condition. Absolutely "No dry needle for physical therapists"
