Chiropractic care

Hammett Integrative Health | Dr. Hammett

Our Approach

Our approach to chiropractic care goes above and beyond the norm. Before any treatment begins we conduct a comprehensive musculo-skeletal examination, on-location diagnostic x-rays and full consultation to precisely evaluate the patient’s physical state. X-rays are analyzed instantly, affording both our team and our patients the opportunity to look inside the body before any treatment begins. This approach is crucial to us and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

We employ a range of chiropractic techniques, including traditional adjustments and low-force instrument adjustments. We use Chiropractic Biophysics of the spine to help restore lost spinal curve and address abnormal curvatures of the spine such as a scoliosis. We also employ tissue release techniques, such as Active Release Technique (ART), Proprioceptive Neuro-Facilitation (PNF) and Myofascial Release (MFR).

Each treatment plan is tailored to the unique requirements of the patient, yet care is affordable and accessible to all.

Spine Related

  • Neck pain can occur for a variety of reasons, including

    1/ Whiplash - Whiplash injuries occur when the head is forcefully whipped forward and backward or right to left. Whiplash not only affects the neck but can also affect the midback and low back areas. Headaches are a common symptom that is associated with whiplash of the neck. Numbness and tingling can also occur. Our office provides X-rays and detailed documentation of your whiplash injury which is important to proper treatment.

    2/ Trauma in sports - Athletes frequently experience neck pain, particularly those who take part in contact sports. Sports-related bumps and bruises can result in injuries, misalignments and other conditions that cause neck discomfort.

    Other causes include nerve compression, disc herniation, sprains and strains.

  • Chiropractic care can help alleviate back pain by addressing the underlying causes of the pain. We use various techniques, including specific spinal adjustments, trigger point therapy, exercise rehabilitation and stretching, to reduce tension and restore proper alignment of the back. This can help relieve pressure on the nerves and muscles, reducing back pain and frequency.

  • We use techniques such as spinal adjustments, postural adjustments, and lifestyle modifications to help manage the symptoms of sciatica and low back pain. The goal is to reduce pain, improve mobility and function, and help the patient return to their normal activities as quickly as possible.

Injuries

  • Chiropractic care after a car accident injury can be an important step to recovery. We have deep expertise in assessing a patient’s musculoskeletal system to detect hidden injuries that that may not be immediately apparent (such as whiplash or soft tissue injuries). These injuries can cause significant pain and discomfort if left untreated.

  • Musculoskeletal injuries are common after a slip and fall. We work with patients to help alleviate pain and discomfort, reduce inflammation and restore normal range of motion after a slip and fall injury. This is also important to help prevent long-term complications, such as chronic pain or joint dysfunction that may develop if the injury is not properly addressed. Our recommendations on exercises and stretches can help further improve mobility, prevent future injuries and reduce the risk of complications.

  • Disc Injuries can be painful and debilitating. Our office uses various techniques to alleviate pain from a disc injury, including:

    1/ Spinal Adjustments: In the case of disc injuries, we may use spinal manipulation techniques to take pressure off of the affected discs and improve their position, which can reduce pain and improve mobility.

    2/ Flexion-Distraction Technique: This is a specialized technique that involves the use of a specialized table to gently stretch and flex the spine. This technique can be particularly effective for treating herniated or bulging discs, as it can help to reduce pressure on the affected area and promote healing.

    2/ Exercise and Rehabilitation: We provide guidance and support for patients with disc injuries who want to improve their strength, flexibility and overall health. This may involve a combination of exercise programs, stretches, and lifestyle modifications to help patients manage their pain and prevent future injuries. By focusing on whole-body wellness, we strive to help our patients recover from disc injuries and achieve long-term health and wellness.

Upper & Lower Extremity

  • Our office combines adjustments of the foot and ankle along with customized foot orthotics to help conditions such as plantar fasciitis, ankle sprains and achilles tendonitis.

  • Chiropractic care can be an effective way to alleviate knee pain, particularly knee pain due to misalignments of the patella, hip imbalance, or a back scoliosis. Through adjustments to the knee, pelvis, and surrounding joints, we can help to realign the body and promote healing. Chiropractic care can also include exercises and stretches to improve mobility and prevent further injury.

  • Common types of elbow and wrist pain that our office typically takes care of include tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome, and repetitive strain injuries. These conditions can result from overuse, poor ergonomics, and sports-related activities. Our office provides a non-invasive and drug-free approach to alleviate pain, improve function, and restore quality of life for those suffering from elbow and wrist pain.

Family Chiropractic

Hammett Integrative Health | Family Chiropractic

  • Chiropractic care is not just about treating pain and injuries, but also about promoting overall wellness and preventing future health problems. We look at the whole body to identify areas of misalignment that can affect the body's overall function and wellbeing. Chiropractic care can help restore proper alignment and improve nerve function, which can have a positive impact on many aspects of health, including digestion, immune function, and sleep quality. We also provide guidance on nutrition, exercise, and stress management, to help our patients develop healthy habits that support their long-term health and wellness goals. By focusing on wellness care, we help patients achieve optimal health and prevent future health problems, rather than just treating symptoms as they arise.

  • Children may experience pain and discomfort for a variety of reasons, including poor posture, growth-related imbalances or sports injuries.

    Chiropractic care can help promote healthy physical and neurological development in children by supporting proper spinal alignment and nerve function. This can be particularly important during critical periods of growth and development.

    Chiropractic treatment can also help improve a child’s range of motion, flexibility and balance, which can reduce their risk of injury and improve athletic performance.

    By addressing issues related to spinal alignment, nerve function and overall wellness, chiropractic care can help address common health problems in children. This can be particularly important for children who may be at risk for conditions such as scoliosis, as chiropractic care can help promote healthy spinal development and reduce the risk of complications later in life.

  • Chiropractic care during pregnancy can be of tremendous benefit for both mother and baby. Benefits include:

    1/ Pain relief - As the body undergoes significant changes during pregnancy, many women experience discomfort, especially in the back, neck, and hips. Chiropractic care can help alleviate these pains through gentle adjustments and other techniques that help reduce pressure on nerves and joints.

    2/ Improved fetal positioning - Proper fetal positioning is crucial for a safe and healthy delivery. Chiropractic care can help encourage proper positioning of the fetus by ensuring that the mother's pelvis is properly aligned and functioning optimally.

    3/ Increased overall wellness - Chiropractic care can help improve the overall well-being of pregnant women by reducing stress, improving sleep quality and boosting the immune system. This can be especially important during pregnancy, as the body undergoes numerous hormonal and physiological changes.
