Dry Needling is a Crude Form of Acupuncture
 

Dry Needling is an unsophisticated form of acupuncture.

If practiced, it should be the choice of a licensed acupuncturist to do so.

This is because of the rigorous training required to safely and effectively provide acupuncture/dry needling/trigger point acupuncture etc.
