AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 24 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO DRY NEEDLING.

Summary

The bill amends the state health code to define dry needling and allow physician assistants, certified nurse practitioners, and occupational therapists to practice it, but only after receiving a written physician referral and without presenting themselves as acupuncturists unless they hold an acupuncture license. It also directs the relevant professional board to create training and practice standards. The changes aim to expand access to neuromusculoskeletal pain treatment while keeping oversight in place.
