If a Physical Therapist feels their practice would benefit by using Dry Needling, they should take the nececssary training required by Tradition Chinese Medical Colleges. This push for using accupucture with minimal training is motivated by money in an effort to grab a share of patients now that Acupuncture is becoming more popular and covered by medical insurance.
This is not only unethical but irresponsible and dangerous. I am staunchly against the motion to allow this kind of certification by PTs.
