Sports Chiropractic That Treats the Root Cause
Sports chiropractic, manual therapy, and Piezowave2 shockwave therapy in Mount Juliet, for pain that keeps coming back.
We find the root cause, not just the symptom Techniques backed by evidence, not guesswork A real plan, not a standing weekly appointment
SOUND FAMILIAR?
You've been adjusted before. It didn't seem to last.
The pain eases up for a few days, then it's back
Nobody explained what was actually causing it
You're handed a generic stretch sheet with no follow-through
You feel like you need a "maintenance visit" forever
WHAT WINNING LOOKS LIKE
This Is What It Feels Like When This Is Actually Fixed
You bend down to tie your shoes without thinking about it first. You sit through a full workday without shifting every twenty minutes. You go for a run, lift the way you used to, or get on the floor with your kids and just move. It's the difference between managing pain and not having it anymore.
The Plan
A Plan Built Around What's Actually Wrong
Every visit starts the same way: figuring out what's actually driving your pain, not just treating where it hurts today. From there, Dr. Al McGuire and Dr. Chanel Metzler build a plan using chiropractic adjustments, manual therapy, functional rehab and, for tougher cases, Piezowave2 shockwave therapy. You'll know what the plan is, why each part is there, and roughly how long it should take. This isn't a standing weekly appointment. It has an endpoint.
Techniques
How We Treat
Adjustments
A precise, hands-on adjustment to the joint or spine, restoring movement and taking pressure off the nerves and joints it was pinching.
Manual therapy
Hands-on work on the muscle and soft tissue around the problem, since tight, overworked muscle is often what pulled things out of place.
Piezowave2 shockwave
A non-invasive treatment for the stubborn stuff: chronic tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, strains, partial tears that haven't responded to standard care.
Cupping therapy
Suction therapy targeted at tight, restricted tissue to improve blood flow and loosen things up.
SOUND FAMILIAR?
You're doing everything right and your body still isn't cooperating.
Sports injuries
Sprains, strains, and the impact injuries that show up mid-season, not just in the off-season.
Neck and back pain
Whether it started with a specific injury or built up slowly over months of bad posture and overuse.
Headaches
Tension headaches and migraines that trace back to tightness in your neck and upper back.
Shoulder pain
From throwing sports, overhead lifting, or months of overuse finally catching up with you.
Tendonitis
The chronic, nagging overuse injuries in the elbow, knee, shoulder, or Achilles that never quite go away.
Elbow and wrist pain
Golfer's elbow, tennis elbow, and the repetitive strain that comes from work as often as sport.
PRENATAL & PEDIATRIC (WEBSTER)
"Is this safe right now?"
It's the most common question Dr. Chanel Metzler hears from pregnant and postpartum patients, and it's the one she's specifically trained to answer. She's Webster-trained, working with patients through pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and pediatric care, using techniques suited to exactly what your body is going through at that stage. Nothing here is one-size-fits-all, and nothing is oversold.
Your first visit
What a Visit Actually Looks Like
- Check in, and we'll talk through a detailed health history to find what's actually going on, not just where it hurts.
- A hands-on orthopedic, motor, reflex, and sensory assessment to find out what's driving it. X-rays are used if necessary.
- Your first treatment, whether that's an adjustment, manual therapy, or Piezowave2 therapy, based on what you actually need. Or a referral if we're not the right fit.
- A clear plan before you leave: what's next, how many visits to expect, and why.
- Ask questions throughout. Our doctors work alongside you to reach your goals.
First visits run about 30-45 minutes. Follow-ups are quicker. Wear whatever's comfortable to move in.
