Versailles Health
Care Center offers Dry Needling
The Rehab Clinic at Versailles Health Care Center offers dry needling,
which is an effective treatment for acute and chronic pain,
rehabilitation from injury, and even pain and injury prevention, with
very few side effects. Stephanie Goubeaux, Physical Therapist at
Versailles Health Care Center, is certified in dry needling and
received her training at KinetaCore in West Virginia. KinetaCore
and dry needling were featured on Terry Bradshaw’s “The Edge”.
Dry needling benefits athletes of every kind as well as non-athletes.
Dry needling is a general term for a therapeutic treatment procedure
that involves a very thin needle being pushed through the skin to
stimulate a trigger point. Trigger points are irritable, hard
“knots” within a muscle that may cause pain over a large area, leading
to difficulty performing everyday tasks. When a person has painful
muscles and trigger points, it is sometimes called myofascial pain
syndrome. Common locations for these problems are the arm and
neck. Dry needling may release the tight muscle bands associated
with trigger points and lead to decreased pain and improved
function. Typically, positive results are apparent within
2-4 treatment sessions but can vary depending on the cause and duration
of the symptoms and overall health of the patient.
“I have been utilizing dry needling with patients and the results have
been immediate. Patients can stand up off the table and notice
results,” said Goubeaux.
