I have had 2 patients injured by a PT at Blue Ridge Pysical Therapy in Gainesville VA last year come to me to get help after improper needle insertion occured. The patients were very upset after hearing the person who put the needles in them had only had 20 hours of training. I explained my training was over 3 years and all year to be supervised correctly.
Please do not wait until there is a dangerous injury to an unsuspecting person by an pactically untrained pysical therapist.
Sincerely,
Sarah Steed, L. Ac.
