Facts:

1. Dry Needling is Acupuncture. They are using acupuncture needles. Let the PT show you the needles they are using. ACUPUNCTURE NEEDLES!

2. PT has limited training, only a few hundred hours as compared to a Licensed Acupuncturist who has thousand of hours. Q: would you like acupuncturist do PT on patients with limited training?

3. Liability and patient safety- With the limited training the PT has, if the patient gets injuried, it would be a great lawsuit for the lawyers. Case and point: MDs and Chiropractors who has limited training can do acupuncture, but few do them because of liability issues and if insurance companies who approves PT to them is also liable. Botton line, there are licensed and qualified acupuncturists that can do the job with results. 

4. There are already licensed and qualified Acupuncturists to do acupuncture/dry needling. Let the professionals do what they they are trained to do and protect the patients from being harm by unqualified PTs  

Comment: If PT want to do acupuncture as they call Dry needling let them get the licensed like everyone else. As acupuncturist who want to do PT as they needt to get a PT license. Protect the patients from being harm and not allow PT do acupuncture/dry needling.
