As an acupuncturist, I have a wonderful working relationship with my physical therapist.  She does light myofascial release and creates custom exercises and stretches based on a person's biomechanics.  She has a wonderful, flourishing practice and we refer patients to each other regularly.  Chiropractors and Physical Therpaists that try to practice acupuncture (under whatever name they wish to call it) are hurting this working relationship.  I don't waste me or my patients' time manipulating or teaching them how to propertly engage their lats when raising their shoulders, that's not my area of expertise AND it would be a disservice to my patients to do such.  I find that the chiros and PT's that do prectice dry needling, often bruise and hurt their patients, who then end up coming to me to rty and fix what was done to them.  I'm sure dry needling can be very lucrative for PT's but it's not in the patient's best care to have them perform a procedure that someone with 10 times the training can do better and safer.
