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!

Don Tatzin Community Hall

Families across the Bay Area are invited to discover the many paths available after high school at the West Coast ALT Fair, returning to Lafayette on Thursday, September 24, 2026.
Hosted by Prepare to Bloom, the ALT Fair is a free community event designed to introduce students, parents, educators, therapists, and counselors to the growing number of post-secondary options beyond the traditional four-year college experience. The event will take place from 5:00–8:00 p.m. at the Lafayette Public Library's Don Tatzin Community Hall.

Attendees will have the opportunity to meet directly with representatives from a wide range of organizations, including:
<ul><li>Gap year and wellness programs</li><li>Young adult transitional living programs</li><li>College support and executive functioning programs</li><li>Vocational and career training organizations</li><li>Therapeutic and specialized post-secondary supports</li><li>Apprenticeship and experiential learning opportunities</li></ul>
Rather than sitting through presentations, families can browse at their own pace, ask questions, compare programs, and have meaningful conversations with professionals who specialize in helping young adults find the right next step.
"The goal of the ALT Fair has always been to help families realize they have more options than they may have been told," said Shayna Abraham, founder of Prepare to Bloom. "Every student deserves a path that fits who they are, not just the path that's most familiar."
The event is designed for:
<ul><li>Parents of high school, and young adult students</li><li>High school students and recent graduates</li><li>Young adults exploring next steps</li><li>Therapists, educational consultants, and school and college counselors</li><li>Anyone interested in learning more about nontraditional post-secondary opportunities</li></ul>
Admission is free, though advance registration is encouraged.
The ALT Fair will be followed by a professional networking day on Friday, September 25, bringing together referring professionals and program representatives from across the country to strengthen collaboration and improve access to resources for families.
For additional information or to register, visit Prepare to Bloom's ALT Fair page.
