Dry needling
 

 

 

Dear Board Members,

I oppose the technique of dry needling. Some of my reasons have been stated in many of the post. The main concern is no certification and lack of training. Acupuncture is a science of the body which takes many hours of training and practice. Also, the average physical therapist is not going to have the patience and listening ear that an acupuncturist has.  

Sincerely,

Jean
