Chiropractic & Joint Pain Treatment in Knoxville, TN

Chiropractic care isn't just about the spine. At Dr. Arthur Poisal Chiropractic, we help patients experiencing discomfort and mobility limitations involving the knees, shoulders, hips, neck, and lower back. Our approach combines chiropractic evaluation, personalized treatment, and JointWave shockwave therapy when appropriate.

Shockwave Therapy in Knoxville, TN

JointWave shockwave therapy is a noninvasive treatment option that uses acoustic pressure waves to stimulate a localized tissue response. At our Knoxville chiropractic clinic, JointWave may be used as part of an individualized treatment plan for certain musculoskeletal and joint-related conditions, including selected knee and shoulder complaints.

What JointWave shockwave therapy is

JointWave is a noninvasive, high-intensity focused acoustic wave therapy used in musculoskeletal care. It is not a cure, and it is not expected to work for every person or condition.

How treatment works

Acoustic pressure waves are delivered through a handheld applicator to a targeted area to stimulate a local tissue response. Treatment may be uncomfortable, and each person's response varies.

Conditions Dr. Poisal evaluates for treatment

Candidacy is decided through an assessment. JointWave may be considered for selected persistent tendon, muscle, plantar fascia, knee, and shoulder complaints. It is not appropriate for every diagnosis and is not a treatment for nerve-related pain.

What patients can expect during a visit

A visit includes a short assessment and discussion of whether JointWave is appropriate, followed by treatment sessions delivered in-office when indicated. We reassess your response and keep the plan individualized, without promising a fixed number of sessions or timeline.

How JointWave can complement chiropractic care

JointWave may be used alongside chiropractic evaluation, adjustments where appropriate, mobility work, and progressive exercise. It is part of an individualized plan rather than a stand-alone replacement for broader care.
