Find Relief Fast: Dry Needling in Jacksonville, FL That Targets Pain at the Source
Feel Better. Move Better. Perform Better.
If you’re dealing with muscle pain, tightness, or limited movement, dry needling could be the missing piece in your recovery. At Movement Driven Performance Physiotherapy, our expert physical therapists in Jacksonville, FL use dry needling to help you move better, reduce pain, and restore optimal function — safely and effectively.
Dry needling is one of the most effective treatments for chronic pain, sports injuries, and muscle tension, and it’s trusted by athletes and active adults across the First Coast to get lasting relief without medication or invasive procedures.
What Is Dry Needling?
Dry needling is a specialized physical therapy technique that uses thin, sterile needles to target trigger points—the tight knots in your muscles that restrict movement and cause pain.
By releasing these trigger points, dry needling helps:
- Decrease muscle tension and stiffness
- Improve circulation and promote healing
- Restore range of motion
- Reduce local and referred pain
- Enhance strength and athletic performance
Unlike acupuncture, which is based on traditional Chinese medicine, dry needling is rooted in modern anatomy and neuroscience. It’s a precise, evidence-based method designed to help you recover faster and move pain-free.
