Testimonials

Don't take Joe's word on how effective and life-changing his pain management work is; see for yourself what his satisfied clients are saying--and then decide the next step for yourself:

I have had migraines for 50 years and have treated the pain with everything from OTC remedies to shots of Demerol. Last year I heard about "Trigger Point Injections" and gave them a try. About 50% of the time they are able to abort the headache. 100% of the time I feel better in under 5 minutes. I was so surprised with the effectiveness of the injections the first time I had them that I found myself grinning from the relief.
The advantage for me of Trigger Point Injections over Demerol is that I can go right back to what I was doing for the day. I don't need to be driven home and sleep off the treatment. There does not seem to be any unwanted side effects or rebound pain from frequent injections.

Mr. Knaus has visited our clinic on two occasions, both for approximately 2 hours, to discuss the management of pain. We have brought in difficult-to-manage patients, from whom he has taken a history and performed an examination, all in the presence of our professional staff.
Based on this information, he has suggested approaches to management, and in some cases demonstrated trigger point injections.

These sessions have been remarkably beneficial to myself and my staff. There really is nothing quite like hands-on learning.

Mr. Knaus also has a way with patients, is very kind and supportive of their suffering, never makes them feel inadequate or ashamed or embarrassed, and many comment later on what a valuable experience this session was for them.

I do not hesitate to recommend Mr. Knaus to other practitioners wishing to hone their pain treatment skills.

In the fall of 2001, I was the quarterback for the football team at the University of Washington Huskies-- to make a long story short, due to an injury, I ended up having 14 surgeries in a 2-year span.
Joe was the first person to sit me down, ask about my background, and treat me like a person and not just another name on a list. He put me on a long-term plan to taper off all the different painkillers, muscle relaxers, and even sleep meds. He educated me about the medications that I was taking and after a few changes came up with a combination that worked and continues to work to this day. And for what he did for me, I owe him my life.

With Joe's help, friendship, knowledge, and guidance, I now have my life back on track and better than even I could have imagined.

Truly, I don't know how to thank you. I called you because I was suffering and knew what was ahead of me... the tightening and aching of the soldiers, neck, temples. I was going to have ANOTHER horrible night and life still had to go on with me functioning as wife, mom, and employee.

I didn't want to spend hours in the ER to get drugged up and not able to function and be hung over and groggy the next day.

Within a short while the relief was amazing. I felt as though I could cry. The tightening dissipated, I felt comforted and no grogginess or stomach upset. I could even drive myself home! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. This treatment needs to be made available to more practitioners! .
