Physical therapists do not have the required training in order to safely at minister acupuncture two patients. Acupuncturists go through 3000 to 3500 hours of training in order to acquire the skills necessary to properly treat patients with acupuncture. Dry needling would result in a negative impact to acupuncture by flooding the market with poorly trained practitioners.
