Which Clinic in Jacksonville Offers Dry Needling for Sports Injuries?

Full Swing Healthcare on Beach Blvd in Jacksonville uses dry needling for sports injuries as part of a broader athletic treatment approach that addresses the injury and the mechanical pattern that caused it.

We worked with a competitive cyclist who had developed chronic hip flexor and TFL pain on his right side that was affecting his pedaling efficiency and causing low back pain on long rides. He'd stretched religiously, rolled out every day, and taken a week off training with no lasting improvement. When Dr. Muren needled his right TFL, hip flexor, and iliopsoas, the tightness that had resisted weeks of manual work released in a single session. We combined this with an SI joint adjustment that addressed the underlying mechanical reason his right hip was compensating. Three sessions later he was back to full training without the hip pain or the associated back symptoms.

How Dry Needling Fits into Sports Injury Treatment

Athletes develop trigger points differently than sedentary patients. The loading patterns are sport-specific: rotational loads in golf, overhead loads in tennis and swimming, repetitive hip flexion in running and cycling. Dry needling for sports injuries targets the specific muscles that are overloaded by those patterns. For athletes who are pushing through training, it allows faster resolution of trigger point pain than rest alone would provide.

Sports Conditions We Treat with Dry Needling

Hamstring and hip flexor strains, IT band-related hip and knee pain, calf and Achilles complex tightness, rotator cuff muscular involvement in throwing sports, lumbar paraspinal trigger points in rotational athletes, and cervical tension in cyclists and swimmers are all conditions we address with dry needling at Full Swing Healthcare. Dr. Muren is TPI Certified and understands the movement demands that create these patterns across different sports.
