Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is Shockwave Therapy (ESWT)?
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy is the most advanced and highly effective non-invasive treatment method cleared by the FDA. This proprietary technology is based on a unique set of pressure waves that stimulate the metabolism, enhance blood circulation and accelerate the healing process. Damaged tissue gradually regenerates and eventually heals. This non-invasive office/clinic based procedure represents a breakthrough treatment option for a broad range of musculoskeletal conditions.
-
The beneficial effects of Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) are often experienced after only 4-10 treatments. Some patients report immediate pain relief after the treatment, although it can take up to 4 weeks for pain relief to begin. The procedure eliminates pain and restores full mobility, thus improving your quality of life. Over 80% of patients treated report to be pain free and/or have significant pain reduction.
-
Yes.! This FDA cleared technology was developed in Europe and is currently used around the globe. A wealth of medical experience, state-of-the-art engineering, and optimal quality have been built into each Shockwave device; and extensive clinical studies and tests have confirmed its safety and efficacy.
If performed by a qualified caregiver, Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) has virtually no risks or side effects.
-
Coupling gel is applied to the specified treatment area to enhance effectiveness. After these preparations, Shockwave or pressure waves are released via the applicator which is moved over the area in a circular motion..
-

-
You will receive post-treatment instructions from your physician to follow during your recovery.

"Dr. Hammett is Amazing!"
I’ve seen so many chiropractors for my scoliosis, degenerative discs, and foot pain, but nothing has worked like Dr. Hammett’s treatments. The combination of treatments she used were so amazing. 🤩 She used flexion-distraction therapy, shockwave therapy, and chiropractic adjustments—and I feel incredible! My pain is way down, my mobility is better, and I don’t limp anymore, even when I put pressure on my toe.
She truly cares and knows exactly what she’s doing. If you’re dealing with chronic pain, go see her—you won’t regret it! 🙌.— Viking Hapa

"Dr. Hammett is the best chiropractor I have been to"
I've had chronic neck pain and have been to various chiropractors without finding any relief. Dr. Hammett introduced me to shockwave therapy, which has helped decrease my neck pain and increased my range of motion.
She is caring and professional. She keeps you informed about your treatment and progress. Her weekly adjustments have also helped. The significant progress from my first visit until now has been tremendous. I just wish I would have found Dr. Hammett sooner!— Nisreen Khouri

"Been going to Dr. Hammett for years!!"
But my fav thing is the shockwave therapy right now. I have been working on my posture for a few years and recently got jaw surgery and a tongue tie release. Dr. Hammett was a great support to have along the way. I think the shockwave was super crucial for me and I’ve tried all different kinds of modalities. The way it non invasively breaks down scar tissue really sped up my recovery and released a lot of tension for me 🙏 worth giving it a try because 1 session might do a lot for you. Soft tissue work is super underrated.

"I highly recommend Dr. Hammett’s services in Chiropractic care"
I got rear ended on the freeway and suffered a back and neck injury. Dr Hammett helped with identifying the problematic areas of my pain and made a plan to help me heal properly. My weekly sessions with Dr. Hammett got my back and neck to recover faster then normal. I also learned new techniques to work on to correct my spine and back formation which Dr. Hammett identified with clear x-rays of my back and neck. I felt comfortable and safe under her care. I highly recommend Dr. Hammett’s services in Chiropractic care.

"I would give her a million stars if I could"
Dr. Hammett is an extraordinary chiropractor. She is knowledgeable, caring, and attentive. The location has the right equipment to offer excellent care and is always very clean. The process might be different based on needs, for myself I received a thorough examination and had xrays done. This allowed Dr. Hammett to provide a personalized treatment plan. I continued to see Dr. Hammett for a few months and noticed great improvement. She also equipped me with stretches and exercises to do on my own to strengthen my problem areas. She truly cares about healing her patients. I would give her a million stars if I could.

"Highly recommend her!"
I’ve been seeing Dr Hammett for the last 10 years! I initially started seeing her for low back pain and after she took some X-rays, I found out that I had a severe lumbar scoliosis and thoracic kyphosis. After a course of treatment, she alleviated my low back pain and mid back pain and now I see her for regular adjustments to maintain full spine stability. She’s also helped with my chronic gut/digestive problem that my regular MD couldn’t help me with. I’d give her 6 stars if I could! I’ve trusted her skills as a doctor for the last 10 years! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Dr. Hammett is amazing"
She's very nice and comprehensive, and explains why she's doing what she's doing. I work in a physical job and lift weights as a hobby, so it's safe to say that I induce a lot of stress onto my body. Dr. Hammett not only makes me feel comfortable, but she also helps me feel ready to face another day at work or another hard training session.

Excited to wake up tomorrow and feel great! Love her! Definitely recommend her to friends and family!
