I just completed a 12 hour day on my campus. I will have completed thousands of hours by the time I finish grad school in the next year. Dry needling cannot be taught in a weekend course. It has nothing to do with knowing the anatomy. It goes beyond that. Acupuncture is a practice, an art, a tradition. Thousands of years of knowledge that we study. If you don't understand or can recognize patterns within a patient you may be putting them at risk. Please protect this medicine and do not allow just any provider to use needles!
