I remember one time a client of mine was trying to tell me that dry needling is different than acupuncture.
My response was originally calm and simple where I mentioned that dry needling is a subset of acupuncture where it limits the acupuncture practice to muscles, connective tissue, and nerves vs. the whole 'system'.
She proceeded to tell me that I was wrong and my training was not as extensive as a practitioner that dry needles - whereas my training was 3 years + 2 national board exams, dry needlers can purchase a certification with a 3-day course.
Who do you trust?
