SB3560 regulates the use of dry needling by licensed professionals in Illinois.
SB3560 amends the Illinois Athletic Trainers Practice Act, the Illinois Occupational Therapy Practice Act, and the Illinois Physical Therapy Act to establish requirements for the use of dry needling. It defines dry needling as an advanced needling skill for treating myofascial pain, using a sterile needle without heat, cold, or medication. Licensed athletic trainers, occupational therapists, and physical therapists must complete specific training and supervised sessions to perform dry needling. The bill emphasizes that dry needling does not include acupuncture practices.
