As your Merrillville Chiropractor, there's nothing we want more than to be able to contribute to your health and well-being. For instance, are you living in pain? Even if you're uncertain about whether chiropractic can help with your condition, you have nothing to lose by paying us a visit. When you first arrive, you will be welcomed by our wonderful office staff who will guide you through the process of becoming a new patient. In addition, a detailed evaluation will be performed to find out the extent of the problem.
A. First, you are a self-healing organism. In addition, you are controlled and regulated by your nervous system. Therefore, millions of instructions flow from your brain, down the spinal cord, and out to every organ and tissue. After that, signals sent back to the brain confirm whether your body is working appropriately.
I went in to figure out why my back was hurting so bad and Dr. Matt took X-rays and did an exam. Unfortunately, my back gave out in the office. He and his staff were very helpful. I recommend them to everyone! Dr Matt has been a huge help with my daughter. She went in for her first visit in lots of back pain and scared, by the second visit she was smiling and feeling great! He is amazing with the kids and his staff as well! So thankful We found him! I still recommend them whole heartedly, as it gets better with time!

Incredible! I was referred to Dr. Hammett by my sister-in-law and by now my whole family goes to get adjusted. I came in with incredible chronic back pain which was diagnosed as scoliosis. Due to my age and Dr. Hammett's treatments I am 2 adjustments away from being fully healed! If you're looking for a great chiropractor with a holistic natural approach to health, Matt is your guy!

I wanted to like this place so badly. So many red flags from the very beginning. 1-they over charge you and try to scam you of more money and make you over pay. 2- they don't take the x-rays professionally. I had a problem and he completely guessed and made up a problem with out being able to fully see my spine. Completely unprofessional. Don't let all the talking fool you. Do your research if you have actual pain.

Awesome atmosphere. Doctor Matt is very knowledgeable in his field. He saved me from getting surgery. I had 2 blown discs in my back and I went through decompression therapy. If you want natural healing if possible Hes your man! The picture is a walking trail I was able to walk around just 5 months after diagnosis. He has a lot of knowledge to share to help you out in many ways.

2 of my friends recommended New Life Chiropractic. Me and my kids (11 & 12) go here once a week. In addition to great chiropractic care, I've gained some valuable knowledge from Dr. Matt while we are there. The kids are learning great information about health as well! The office staff are always very nice and helpful.

I've been coming somewhat consistently for a couple years for maintenance adjustments; (I don't have anything major out of alignment in my body). I always feel great after leaving, and Dr. Matt always listens when I have something specific that I feel needs to be adjusted. The cost is very fair, and quite a bit lower than some local competition that I've tried. Office staff are always friendly and helpful, can't recommend this place enough.

Doctor Mat will fix you Right up, and any problems you have he knows what to do Don't forget the lovely lady's at the front desk, it wouldn't be the business that it is now if it wasn't for them.

We love Dr. Matt! He's so knowledgeable and friendly. He always takes the time to answer my questions and makes sure we're feeling well after our adjustments. He adjusted me during my pregnancy and helped alleviate pain from sciatica and SPD and made sure baby was in the best position to be born. He adjusted my newborn and my other children. Highly recommend New Life Family Chiropractic!

Dr Matt is awesome! I had been suffering from migraines for 10+ years. Was prescribed med after med. I got to the point that I was having them almost everyday! I finally came to Dr Matt and they were GONE after 4 sessions! What a miracle! I also had lower back pain and hip pain to the point that i was living off ibuprofen. NOT ANYMORE. This was the best medical decision i have made in my life.

Truly great Christian people! Staff is so friendly and caring as well! If you are on the fence.just take that leap. Dr Matt and Dr Trish truly care for their patients' well being, you will be so happy you came here!

New Life is amazing. I have always been greeted with kindness and treated with respect by everyone in the office. Dr. Matt and Dr. Trish are both incredible at what they do and are easy to work with. I have brought my baby here since she was 2 months old and I go myself too and don't plan to stop anytime soon. I highly, highly recommend New Life to anyone looking for a chiropractor!

If you are looking go here. They are amazing. Very friendly and treat you like family. I recommend to all my friends and family. So far Matt is really helping my pregnancy induced carpal tunnel im having issues with on my 3rd pregnancy. My 1yr old and 2 yr old just went for the first time today and they did great. Ive been to other chiropractors and this is where the family is staying. I feel they are definetley helping my pregnancy and I cant wait to get started on normal care after with the new baby.

Dr. Hammett is a wonderful and caring chiropracter. I started going there over a year ago for back pain. He helped me immediately. He is very knowledgeable and is always showing me differerent stretches. His office is very friendly and I never have to wait longer then 5 minutes. I give Dr. Hammett and his office 5 stars.

Our family has used New Life’s chiropractic services for many years. They are truly a family chiropractic center! My children love getting adjusted and the asjustments have helped keep them healthy. Dr Trish and Dr. Matt are wonderful with children, as well as excellent chiropractors. In addition, they make scheduling easy and flexible. The office staff is friendly and helpful. I highly recommend their services.

I began seeing Dr. Matt in 2015. My friend was bragging about his approaches years before. Based on the convo with my friend; I had full confidence Dr. Matt could help my back. I went into the office and had an x ray done so Dr. Matt could get to the problem areas of my back. I was bent over and in pain. After a few visits with Dr. Matt my back was corrected.

I had been to other chiropractors but never had seen the knowledge that Dr Matt has in his healing techniques. His etiquette and general caring of his patients has made me want to contunue with appointments with him. Visiting a chiropractor is great even when there is no underlying problem. The benefits it does for your health in general is outstanding.

We began our chiropractic journey last year when our 2 month old daughter was diagnosed with torticollis. She saw Dr. Trish every week for about 3 months and made huge improvements, (yay no helmet). Next my husband decided to give chiropractic a try, after seeing 3 doctors and 2 different rounds of physically therapy had not helped his lower back pain.

With the help of Dr. Matt now he has been noticing great improvements in his back pain. So I decided I would go as well just for the overall heath benefits. Currently myself, husband and daughter all see Dr.Matt and we are so grateful we found New Life Family Chiropractic!

Hey moms with constipated babies! Did you know there’s a chiropractic adjustment that can help with that? We were in to see Dr Trish for an adjustment for my 7 month old and I also expressed concern about his constipation. She explained the adjustment and checked if that area was out of line, and sure enough, it was! It worked like a charm and he had the poop we were finally waiting for a few hours later. Chiropractic care has so many benefits, and no question is too “silly” for Dr Trish. I appreciate her advice on all levels parenting, health and education!

Seriously, this is the place where magic happens. After numerous physical therapy and no relief, I went to see if Dr. Matt could help me. After a couple sessions I'm pain free. Makes me wonder, because the doctor I saw was recommending a surgery. Thanks for the wonderful road to recovery Dr. Matt.
