LEGISLATIVE ALERT!

AZSOMA IS ADDRESSING THE ISSUE OF DRY NEEDLING IN THE STATE OF ARIZONA. THERE ARE SEVERAL PHYSICAL THERAPISTS PERFORMING NEEDLING WITH AS LITTLE AS 24 HOURS OF TRAINING. DESPITE BEING CALLED "DRY NEEDLING" IT IS STILL ACUPUNCTURE AS DEFINED BY STATE LAW. THE PUBLIC IS AT RISK FROM INSUFFICIENTLY TRAINED PRACTITIONERS. HELP US STOP THIS UNSAFE PRACTICE. CONTACT INFO@AZSOMA.ORG.
