I am an acupuncturist. I spent 7 years of training in acupuncture to obtain my acupuncture degree. In these years, it took me 3 years of practical training in hospital. I am well training not only basic knowledge in Chinese medicine but also clinic technics. If PT just study one or two weeks of study and allow to to use needles in clinic, it is not fair to us and I don't think they are ready to use needles on patients. I stonly opposite PT using dry needles. They should be well trained. Otherwise it is too risky for patients.
