With the latest in chiropractic technology and gentle manipulation techniques, Dr. Hamel ensures safe, painless, and effective treatment. This modern approach to chiropractic care is designed to restore proper alignment to your spine, retrain your posture, and alleviate pain from issues like neck pain and low back pain without the need for invasive procedures. The newest additions to the practice are shockwave therapy and thermal scanning.
The shockwave therapy is the newest, non-invasive therapy that uses sound waves to penetrate deep into the affeted area, (shoulder, knee, hip, wrist, achilles), causing a signficant reduction of inflammation, improved circulation and recruitment of nearby stem cells to accelerate healing and repair. For chronic injuires like frozen shoulder, knee osteoarthritis, Achilles tendinitis, tennis elbow, and plantar fasciitis we have never seen anything work this well and this quickly says Dr. Hamel. For patients wanting to put off surgery or prevent surgery such as knee replacement surgery, rotator cuff tear surgery, carpal tunnel surgery, hip replacement surgery or Achilles tendon surgery, shockwave therapy may be their best option.
Thermal scanning is a diagnostic device that measures temperature so Dr. Hamel can see the amount of inflammation in the area of complaint the patients is coming in with. Chronic inflammation is one of those things, says Dr. Hamel, that prevents healing and repair; we have to get rid of this in order for our patients to recover and heal. In the case of shockwave therapy treatments one can see an immediate difference in inflammation in just one treatment; it is spectacular.
