Thanks to all of our patients who have entrusted our office with their healthcare and with sharing the art of chiropractic with their family, friends and newcomers.
Without your stories, testimonials, and referral, our work would not hold the same meaning. What we do at Advanced Health & Wellness Center we do because we care.
May your health continue to improve and your quality of life remain priceless.
Dear Dr. Hammes and staff:
I just wanted to send you a short note to thank you for the HUGE difference you and your care have made in my life. I’m not even sure what I expected would happen when I came to see you – I had simply exhausted all of the things I knew to do to alleviate my back, hip and joint pain. Within just a few visits, I was noticing a dramatic difference in the level of pain I was experiencing. An example of how much better it has been: I have gone from taking at least 4 extra-strength pain relievers every day to none. Even one month ago, I always kept a bottle of something by my bed, knowing that at some point during the night, the pain would wake me. That has not happened in weeks! What a pleasure to be able to sleep through the night again.
Additionally, I really appreciate the physical therapy work – I feel like that has made a huge difference in my speedy rehabilitation. The classes you have offered have helped me to take a good strong look at my overall health – vitamins, water, choosing more “live” goods, the importance of maintaining flexibility, posture (sitting and sleeping, especially) and the effects of prescription and over-the-counter medication. I have become a real believer in investing the necessary time to get this physical work done – I was one of your patients who just “did not have the time” to make all of the initial appointments. Your gentle encouragement that time invested early in the process would reap rewards in the faster healing proved to be very true for me. I came to you for assistance with a specific, unhealed, physical injury and have come away with so much more – the knowledge that I don’t have to feel like I am 100 years old every day.
Other problems that I had no idea chiropractic care would help have lessened or disappeared completely. My TMJ and earache have been alleviated and my allergies have not shown their nasty heads (and Spring is one of the worst times for me). I have been able to discontinue my allergy medication, with no bad results.
There is no way to say it all, but I can say THANK YOU to all of you. I still have much work to do to get things straightened out, but you have brought me further faster than any other thing I have tried and I appreciate all of your efforts. I’m looking forward to a pain-free existence in the very near future and I will give you all of the credit it for it!
Terry B.Dr. Hammes and staff:
In 1994, I was diagnosed with Coronary Artery Disease and over the next 10 years, the medical doctors treated me with medicines to lower my blood pressure, cholesterol and triglycerides along with some other medications. At the urging of my concerned wife, I became a patient of Dr. Kyle Hammes, who started me on a regimen of adjustments, supplements, and exercise in conjunction with a sensible diet. Several months later, two of the drugs I was taking interacted adversely and caused my blood pressure to sporadically drop for 1 –2 minutes and over the next few weeks those dips became less volatile but lasted much longer. Without consulting my medical doctors, I stopped taking all of my medication and needless-to-say; they were not in agreement with my decision although they agreed that the medications are toxic. After being treated by Dr. Hammes for a year, my blood pressure is around 130/80; cholesterol is about 185, HDL at 40, LDL around 115. We are looking for ways to raise my HDL and lower my LDL. On a recent visit to my family doctor, he wanted to know what I was doing to get such good test results and my cardiologist said I was an interesting case and had caused him to view my approach in a different light.

To Dr. Hammes and staff,
I would like to take a moment to give thanks where thanks are due. From the moment I walked into Dr. Hammes’ office, I was treated with kindness and respect. Everyone was so professional.
Before meeting Dr. Hammes I was introduced to a video dealing all about chiropractic care. It helped to explain much about what to expect and made the time waiting for the doctor to see me quite useful.
Later, Dr. Hammes came in after looking over my paperwork about my problem for being there. He asked questions, did what I would call a very thorough examination of me and suggested that I have x-rays to be sure of what his suspicions were.
I had been hurting for the last four years. My back hurt so bad that getting out of bed in the mornings was a chore in itself. I can honestly say with Dr. Hammes’ adjustments, regular monitoring, and recommendations for rehab I feel like a new person. What started out as a daily adjustment and rehab for the first week, graduating to three times a week for several weeks has proven to be very beneficial to my progress. I even looked forward to my rehab sessions with Mari. She made it fun and was helpful in explaining how and what to do.
Dr. Hammes cares about his patients well being. He even goes a step further offering various classes for his clients to educate them on how to take proper care of themselves and providing them with excellent nutrition information. In only a few short months with much hard work on my part, my x-rays show such a significant improvement that I only have to come in twice a month for adjustments and rehab.
Dr. Hammes and your staff – for all the good work, I thank you.
Earl B.
