As an acupuncturist we are always a little wary of people using needles without much training or qualifications. Unfortunately this is more often than not the case with Dry Needling as it is an unregulated practice with some courses being only done over a weekend. As a registered acupuncturist you do well over a 1000 hours of needling practice to become qualified included in your 4 year degree.
Would you hire a registered builder to work on your house, or the person down the road that spent the weekend watching YouTube videos?
