The short answer is no.
Acupuncture practice includes many different needling techniques and a variety of these may be required to achieve the best results.
Dry needling is just one of these methods.
Only Licensed Acupuncturists (L.Ac's) who are certified by the National Certification of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) are Diplomates and have received at least 2000-3000 hours of training.
In our hands, acupuncture is considered very safe.
However, in CT and other States, some Western medical practitioners such as PT's and DC's can also offer 'dry needling' after taking a course for 50 hours or less.

My first experience with alternative medicine came as a teenager in the 1970's, when my father was diagnosed with terminal cancer.
He followed the usual protocol-surgery followed by chemotherapy and radiation.
When those treatments failed, my father turned to alternative approaches.
These complementary and alternative treatments kept my father alive four years longer than his doctors expected and introduced me to the power and effectiveness of alternative and Oriental medicine.
It was unusual, and progressive, for a patient in the 1970's to advocate for alternative approaches, in addition to Western medicine.

Japanese acupuncture is one of the gentlest forms of acupuncture because it uses the thinnest gauge needles with subtle manipulation.
The Japanese style I perform is based on the work of Kiiko Matsumoto.
Kiiko's palpation based diagnosis evolved from the blind school of acupuncture in Japan, lending itself to a strong sense of kinesthetics, or diagnosing through hands-on methods.
Palpating the abdomen (or 'Hara' diagnosis) is the main form of diagnosis in Japanese Acupuncture.
This works especially well for digestive disorders and fertility issues.
