Sore joints or back pain? Try Chiropractic & ESWT Shockwave 

Hammett Integrative Health

At Hammett Integrative Health, we offer something truly unique in the Bay Area: a personalized combination of advanced Chiropractic care and state-of-the-art Focused Shockwave Therapy. This innovative approach is what sets us apart. While many clinics only use traditional chiropractic adjustments or rely on older radial pulsed shockwave devices, we use a Focused Shockwave system—the highest standard in regenerative medicine technology. Patients travel from Marin, Contra Costa, San Francisco, and across the Bay Area to experience the difference because Focused Shockwave penetrates deeper, targets problem areas with precision, and produces superior healing outcomes compared to Radial units. Whether used independently or in synergy with chiropractic adjustments and spinal traction, this therapy has the power to restore mobility, decrease inflammation, and accelerate the body’s natural repair process. Shockwave Therapy stimulates circulation, breaks down scar tissue, activates stem cell activity, and triggers long-term healing responses at the cellular level. We specialize in chronic and stubborn tendinopathies that often resist conventional care, including: Plantar Fasciitis Tennis Elbow Golfer’s Elbow Achilles Tendinitis Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy Patellar (Jumper’s Knee) Tendinitis Hip and Gluteal Tendinopathy Frozen Shoulder and other joint-related pain By combining structural chiropractic correction with regenerative shockwave technology, we create treatment plans that are tailored, effective, and long-lasting. Patients frequently report dramatic improvements in pain, function, and quality of life—even after years of suffering. Special Offer: Right now, we’re offering 4 Shockwave Therapy sessions for just $700, plus your 5th session FREE (a $1,000 value). This limited-time package provides outstanding results at an affordable price and is one of the best ways to experience the future of musculoskeletal healing. Limited Openings - Call NOW!
