short time training of dry needling is irresponsible for patients.

Dry needling is a kind of acupuncture, but a qualified acupuncturist needs thousands of hours to be trained. How can we trust a dry needling operator who just be trained only 50 hours? I have to admit that they can make more money in a short time.
