In the United States, only certain licensed healthcare professionals are permitted to perform dry needling, and permission is determined by each state’s practice laws. For physical therapists, the ability to use dry needling—and the training required—varies by state.
Providers from other healthcare professions should consult their state licensing board or professional association for guidance. Each practitioner is personally responsible for understanding whether dry needling is allowed under their state practice act, as well as the education and training required to use it safely and legally in clinical practice. When in doubt, contact your state board or professional association for clarification.
