What is Dry Needling?

What is Dry Needling?

How does it affect your future as a professional acupuncturist?

All AAAOM students are invited to attend a “strategy meeting” on the topic of Dry Needling, hosted by the Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine Association of Minnesota (AOMAM)

Day/Time: Sunday, December 7, 12:30 – 2:00 PM

Location: AAAOM campus, upstairs classroom

Legislation is being considered in Minnesota and other states which would allow health professionals such as physical therapists to insert acupuncture needles for therapeutic purposes, without reference to the underlying theory and practice of traditional Chinese medicine.

The legislative committee of the AOMAM has been tracking this issue closely, and will present their research and findings on Sunday.

Meeting Agenda:

·        A brief history and summary of dry needling in the US and Minnesota.

·        Possible causes and effects of dry needling on the acupuncture profession in Minnesota.

·        Options, choices and possible solutions for our state.

·        Decisions, planning and implementation.

Please come to this meeting! These issues affect everyone who practices acupuncture in Minnesota. AOMAM is your professional organization, and your ideas and input are valued by the AOMAM leadership.
