Stop Arizona Physical Therapists from performing acupuncture under the title of "Dry Needling" with little to no training, by voting against last minute amendments to Arizona SB1154. Instead, require the Arizona Physical Therapy Board of Examiners to follow the Sunrise process to expand their scope of practice.
Why is this important?
Arizona SB1154 will allow physical therapists to practice acupuncture with barely any training, leading to potential injury by ignoring the required Sunrise process for increasing their scope of practice. The bill allows physical therapists to take a weekend course and set their own standards, while ignoring public safety. “Dry Needling” is acupuncture and as such is already regulated by the State of Arizona.
