In response to recent media coverage on Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt’s pneumothorax following a dry needling procedure, we have issued a Public Statement on Patient Safety, Dry Needling, and Acupuncture Standards.

Our intention in responding is not to comment on the specifics of any individual case, but rather to use this moment to help the public better understand an important and often misunderstood issue: the difference between acupuncture and dry needling. 

We encourage patients to ask questions about their provider’s training and licensure before receiving any needle-based treatment. We also urge regulatory bodies to uphold the standards that exist to protect the health and safety of all Californians.

We also encourage you to share our statement with your community (link in bio) to utilize this moment to educate & inform 🔗

A big thank you to the sponsor of this webinar, Acupuncture Herbal Vendor Coalition!
