Dry needling is acupuncture. No acupuncture license, no dry needling!
 

I am a licensed acupuncturist of Massachusetts for over 20 years. 

It is important to understand that dry needling is the practice of Acupuncture, and is not a new modality. It is irresponsible for undertrained physical therapists to practice acupuncture with the name of "dry needling".

I oppose to dry needling !
