AI Summary
This bill amends existing Idaho law to provide for the practice of dry needling by qualified physical therapists. Dry needling is defined as a skilled intervention that uses a thin filiform needle to stimulate underlying neural, muscular, and connective tissues to evaluate and manage neuromusculoskeletal conditions, pain, and movement impairments. The bill requires physical therapists to complete minimum education and training requirements approved by the Idaho Physical Therapy Licensure Board before performing dry needling. The board is also granted the authority to promulgate rules to carry out the provisions of this new section.
