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. Trish fixed my back/hip problem back in 2007 and Dr. Matt keeps everything feeling great with regular treatments. I travel 17 miles to get here and it’s worth it.

Thankful for this practice!
Dr. Matt is a great chiropractor. He is thorough, he listens to your concerns and addresses them, and he also educates you in the process! Highly recommended

I work in the medical profession where there is lots of heavy lifting. I have had a bad back for years because of an injury. After a few adjustments, I feel like a new person. Thanks Dr. Matt.

Best of the Best! This is the most wonderful group of people I have ever had the privilege to know. Dr. Matt shares his ideas and knowledge freely to help you understand chiropractic treatment and he works diligently to see that patients receive the care that they need. The support staff is most accommodating and also work hard to get you the help you need when you need it. It is all accomplished in a welcoming, relaxed but definitely professional atmosphere. New Life is the best of the best.

Dr Trish has done so much for our family! My son had severe eczema as an infant and after not getting much help from our Ped, I took him to Dr. Trish. He was so miserable and ultimately was diagnosed with failure to thrive. Dr. Trish helped diagnose the cause of the eczema and within weeks of removing the offending foods from my diet (I was nursing him), his skin cleared up. He hasn’t had any issues since. A few years later my daughter was diagnosed with middle ear fluid that was causing minor temporary hearing loss. After taking her to Dr. Trish for two weeks, her repeat hearing test with the audiologist showed no issues. So awesome! I finally decided to be a patient myself. 🙂

The Best Doctor I’ve ever met!
After meeting many doctors Dr. Matt was the one who helped me a lot. I already have more than a year of receiving therapy and I feel the best. When I started going I went with a knee pain and in a few visits the pain was no longer there.
My husband started two years ago, he went with a hard shoulder pain more than two years with that pain and like me in a short time that pain was gone.
My son is 8 months old and he had knee problems from playing soccer. Dr. Matt helped him a lot! And now my son gets happy every time I tell him we have an appointment!
He is finally an excellent doctor 🙂

Batter up! Chiropractic helps athletes at any age! Pitchers really know the difference when they can throw the way they did 15 years ago! Imagine…

I cannot thank Dr. Matt enough.

When I first saw him I went because I was experiencing tingling and numbness in my extremities. I went the traditional route to the point of seeing multiple neurologists and getting EMGs done. They were zero help. 5-6 visits with him I’m completely symptom free and will be a long term patient.

Unexpectedly I visited his website and saw he has a podcast. I gave it a shot and am completely hooked and binged 15 episodes in a few day span.

I am a major podcast fan and over the years when listening to health podcasts and experts I always would say “I wish these experts were close to home.” Now unequivocally can I say we have one in Dr. Matt! Keep up the work and if you are his patient his podcast Dynamism biohack is a no brainer for you (and for those who aren’t his patient as well).

Dr Matt is the best of the best!! 5 stars all the way around! Thanks Doc!

The power of chiropractic against infertility

I have always suffered from lower back chronic pain to the point the doctors just wanted to just give narcotics to help with the pain. I never really took them and just went through life in pain with every day feeling worse. I’m only 38 and felt like I would be in a wheel chair in ten years. I felt tired and frustrated looking for decent medical treatment that didn’t involve surgeries or pain meds. I was tough so I kinda gave up on myself. I was recommended by a friend that told me that New life had changed their life. So I decided to give it a try. There treatments don’t involve costly surgeries or pain meds that just numb the pain for a bit. I was afraid no one would help me. But a few months after treatments, I was feeling like I could actually function like a normal adult. I didn’t even realize the pain I was going through before was actually making me feel so depressed. I can now actually do things I couldn’t do before going to Dr Mat. I’m so happy I can live like a 38 year old. Thanks Dr Mat and your lovely staff for helping me!!

I can walk without a cane and I’m headache-free!

Hiatal Hernia Resolved with Chiropractic.

Thank you Dr. Matt and your staff for all you do to help my family and I remain healthy. Anyone who suffers from back and neck pain knows that realignment through treatment provides for better sleep and the joy of pain free movement. My prayers and good thoughts that you and your loved ones remain safe.

I am sleeping better. I have more energy. I love this place. I have only been here two weeks but it has helped so much. Working on being pain free. Haven’t felt this good in a while.

“I don’t have time for pain!”

I still recommend them whole heartedly, as it gets better with time!
It’s been over 2 years that our family has been seen by Dr. Matt! The office ladies are all still the same and wonderful as ever! We have crazy schedules and they always accommodate us and with a smile! Dr. Matt has helped us recover from injuries, many illnesses, surgery, birth issues, being old issues, and gives us overall “just feel better” vibes! (There are 5 of us that visit Dr. Matt, 2 adults and 3 children) I was nervous when we moved to NWI and needed to find a new Chiropractor but Dr. Matt has gone above and beyond for us, even talking to our past doctor to help us feel comfortable and adjust us the same! I’m editing this review to say I still recommend them whole heartedly, as it gets better with time!

Dr Matt is excellent in treating my issues after a car accident. He has a great sense of humor!

If you are looking for a new chiropractor you can STOP your search. It is going to be New Life Family Chiropractic Center. I promise you will not be disappointed. Numerous of my friends and family are now patients of New Life and not a one of them regret their decision. I have been to quite a few chiroprators in my life time, but never have I been treated so kindly and saw true results. Dr. Matt is very personable and knowledgeable in so many areas. You will feel apart of a family that truly cares about you and wants the best for your overall health. You can’t go wrong with New Life!!!

“Natural Healing!” Dr. Matt shows genuine concern and develops an appropriate plan of action for positive results without the need for pharmaceuticals.

Dr. Matt has helped me so much. If you are on the fence about whether you should give chiropractic care a try, you definitely need to go in.

Dawn is the owner and teacher at Montessori Academy in Merrillville and Valparaiso. In 18 years, this is the first time she didn’t get sick from all that preschool germ exposure!

Amazing Doctor. Very thorough. Polite, awesome personality. Definitely a 5 star

I have been rejuvenated, from not being able to function, to doing every day tasks. I still have pain, but its a lot less. Just wish he could do house calls…lol.

Dr. Matt is awesome, he’s helped me out a lot!

I been seeing Dr. Matt for quite a long time now. His excellence has improved even greater throughout his career. In 2015 I came in all bent over in pain. I was astonished on how quick he got me back in shape. Also, that same year I found out I had an inflamed gall bladder. A surgeon tried to tell me I needed surgery. I discussed this with Dr. Matt and he said try changing your diet. Well I have changed my diet and did a recent ct scan and it showed my gall bladder is in unremarkable great shape. I can’t say enough about how my health has changed for the better not just my spinal health but my overall health in general. When other doctors may make my health look grim Dr. Matt makes me better. Thank you Dr. Matt for everything you have done and saving me from unnecessary surgeries and pain shots. You have made me feel confident about my overall, mind, body, and spirit.

There simply are not enough words to express how grateful I am for Dr. Matt & Dr. Trish!!! With every visit, I am feeling better and better & able to move without dealing with horrible back pain!!!! So very thankful to be able to lead a more active life again!!! Their office staff are amazing as well, always helpful and so nice!!!

Couldn’t walk before treatment; sciatica gone!

Watch Julie’s story of her motor delayed child regain health with pediatric chiropractic care…

Dr. Hammett is truly a wonderful chiropractor who is very dedicated to helping individuals with various issues. I have been fortunate to find him as he has helped me on my road to full recovery over the past year. He is very knowledgeable and promotes a healthy lifestyle.

Super informative from the start. Explained everything that was going on with my spine in terms that I could understand. I feel a major improvement from when I started. The ladies up front are awesome, soooo kind and gracious. Thank you everyone!

Thank you so much Dr. Matt for helping my family feel better. You have made a huge difference in our lives.

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 was having sciatic and back pain, I had a adjustment. I was able to leave there feeling no pain. The staff and doctor are very nice, and friendly. Highly recommended. ?♥️?♥️

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!

New Life is like family! Dr. Matt and the office ladies are so friendly. Dr. Matt is very skilled in his field and has changed my life! I would recommend anyone to visit him, they will not regret it!

Dr. Matt fixed my 45K issue
About 2 years ago, randomly I started to feel ill. It was a weekend of stomach issues which later morphed into a migraine and incredible pain behind my ears. I ended up leaving work that day, driving myself to emergency clinic and received a drug to get rid of the migraine that was presumably causing all of this. The pain never went away, and it only morphed into low grade fever, inability to open my left eye and a midnight ride to the Hospitals Emergency Room. Once admitted, I was kept overnight to bring down my incredibly high heartbeat and was given one dose of steroids. I went home the next day.
Within a 24-hour period, I returned to the Emergency room with the same exact pain and was admitted for a week. They did every test on me under the sun (hence the 45K bill) , including spinal tap and never-ending supply of morphine that really didn’t do much to ease the pain that felt like someone was stabbing my ears and brain. The diagnoses were that I had an incredible sinus infection that has traveled back up (from my ears) and back up to push on the nerves that surrounded my brain. After a full dose of steroids and letting me finish it, I ended up going back home.
Fast forward 6 months later, my ear pain was back. Completely freaked out at this point, I grasped at straws to find a cheaper solution that won’t take me back to the hospital. The only and temporary pain relief that I felt was from taking the extra strength, over the counter Sudafed. Even though this relieved my pain, it kept coming back. I ended up talking to two EMT doctors, one recommended a hearing and allergy test (passed both with flying colors) and the other told me I have a deviated septum and that I immediately needed surgery to correct that. In pain and broke at this point, I almost did the surgery but refrained at the last minute because this solution just didn’t make sense. I just let it be … I guess I must be in pain for the rest of my life.
Fast forward to this year, I started to see Dr. Matt for sciatica issue and one day I overheard him explaining to a patient how an adjustment can help with ear infections. Intrigued, I asked him to do one on me. Within few minutes I felt all my sinuses drain down my throat and a massive lightbulb went on in my head! If my sinuses do not drain, all that sits in my ear tubes and festers. If not taken care of, it can become severely infected and land me in a hospital again. This adjustment has become a standard of my routine now and I feel incredibly lucky to have FINALLY found a solution that not only takes the pain away but doesn’t cost me an arm and a leg. Thank you – Maggie B.

Dr Trish is amazing!!! She is the first chiropractor I have been to who truly helps me. She doesn’t “just adjust”, she heals. Other chiropractors do the same adjustment each time, Dr Trish adjusts her treatment to meet the needs of my body. I always leave the office having been helped. She is so good that I drive for 4 hours to have an appointment and I have referred people to her who live hours away. We all feel she has an intuitive gift. Thank you, Dr Trish, for the gift of health

I have been going to Dr. Matt Hammett for several months now. The office is nice and the staff is great. He is a very good chiropractor and has helped me a lot regarding my hip pain. My mobility has improved over time.

This place – Dr. Trish & Dr. Matt have changed my entire way of thinking and believing about the medical industry. Our bodies naturally heal itself- through nutrition and adjustments. My children and I have been patients since 2008. I was first sceptical when my sister brought me here. I thank the Lord God for these amazing people!!! They care for our children before they are born and will into adulthood. If I’m in pain ANYWHERE in my body..I’m educated and completely on my way to a pain free life. Their knowledge is extensive and comes straight from love of life. A natural life. As was intended. Thank you both!!!

Dr.Matt is AMAZING! I have been to a couple chiropractors and non can compare. I had learned to live with pain before I came to see him but that is a distant memory. I am soo glad my mother in law referred me to him!!

Dr. Matt always takes the time to get everything back in the right spot! My wife and I have been going regularly for years and will continue as a part of a healthy lifestyle. We really appreciate the ladies in the office, as well. It’s always a pleasant experience. Thank you!

Josh has suffered over 10 years from inoperable central canal stenosis. After many visits with different orthopedic surgeons, therapists, and chiropractors, he was told he would have to live in pain and walk with a cane for the rest of his life…

Awesome experience, I highly recommend this place. I feel so much better with only a few treatments. Thank you so much!

If you are on the fence…just take that leap!
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!!

Dr. Matt and his kind staff have been a blessing to our entire family! 🙂 We discovered New Life Family Chiropractic on our search for chiropractic care, and are so glad that we did. Dr. Matt and Dr. Trish are now caring for all of our chiropractic needs. We highly recommend them to anyone that is searching for a chiropractor.

My son just turned 3 and we’ve been seeing doctor Matt since he was 6 months old. Around 6 months old my son began trying to crawl but no matter how hard he tried he just couldn’t. I’d watch him struggle and I could tell he knew what to do but his body just wouldn’t move for him the way he needed it to. After his second adjustment my son started crawling PERFECTLY the next day. The adjustments also drastically reduced his screaming in his carseat. Since then we’ve regularly seen Dr. Matt as an entire family. After we had our daughter, who is now 1, we immediately had her in for adjustments and neither of our children has ever had an ear infection. I honestly believe this is because of the adjustments. (You can look up online how it helps.) I highly recommend NewLife and Dr. Matt! The whole family will benefit from GOOD chiropractic care!

Keeping My Family Healthy!

Dr. Matt has been amazing with my whole family! Through his chiropractic care he has helped heal my daughter that had whiplash, son who couldn’t straighten his arm back after an injury, and has just helped us maintain our best health.

Greg Staub says—
Dr. Matt brings everything to his practice one should expect from a Palmer graduate. Everybody could benefit from regularly visiting his office and receiving care. His office staff is awesome!

I have had great chiropractic experiences at New Life. The care has kept my life moving in a continuously pain free and more relaxed manner. When those extra incidences occur, Dr. Matt has been able to help me get relief.

My daughters reflux cured!
My daughter has had reflux since she was an infant and was on meds for it until she turned 1, at that we took her off because we thought she was through it. Come to find out it wasn’t and we struggled with her eating for an entire year, and she started throwing up in her sleep. Her pediatrician wanted to put her back on meds but I hated the thought of her being on them again and never liked it in the first place. I had saw a few of my friends taking their kids to a chiropractor for reflux and they said it helped tremendously. So last March we started taking her and she is a completely different child! We are so happy with her chiropractor care!

Back is feeling much better since I started seeing Dr Matt I am grateful that my wife suggest I go. Thank you both.

Couldn’t walk before treatment; sciatica gone!

Absolutely Love this chiropractor center. Both Dr.s Trish and Matt are amazing. Dr. Trish works on my daughter, has been her chiropractor since she was 3 weeks old. Just amazing. Dr. Matt helped correct my sacrum after giving birth and also has made vast improvements in my cervical vertebrae in 3 short months. Was going 3x/week, and am now only going 1x/week. The results speak for themselves. Thank you so much to these two! Highly recommend both of these Doctors!!

Relieves my lower sciatic pain! Affordable!
Very attentive, kind. Gave me and my whole family, each, very detailed evaluations. Relieves my lower sciatic pain. Asks questions to make sure I’m ok. Does great with my toddler nephew’s adjustments, as well. Staff is very friendly! Very affordable!

Definitely recommend visiting New Life Family Chiropractic where their service is as excellence as their heart for people. Dr. Matt is a wealth of knowledge which he chooses to use for the benefit of the people he serves. I’ve been coming for years & love it.

Dr. Matt has helped me with my neck/shoulder/back pain immensely. He also took the time to help me figure out some helpful dietary tips which have made all of the difference in the world with my symptoms! The staff is all kind and friendly!

Believe! Great doctor, professional, very engaging, outstanding help at the front desk. My care and the treatments have been explained to me during the very first visit. Highly recommended.

Pastor Cato Brooks, Jr. of Tree Of Life Missionary recommends members of his congregation to visit New Life Family Chiropractic Center, “The Treatment Will Be Nothing Short, But Miraculous.”

After complaining to my friend, Tami, she recommended New Life Family Chiropractic Center. I was skeptical after seeing an acupuncturist which relieved my pain for 48 hours.

I could barely get out of my car, when meeting with Dr. Matt. My condition was so severe, Dr. Matt was willing to see me on Saturday (which the office is closed).

I didn’t realize at the time how much Dr. Matt was willing to get me pain free at that time. Thank you, Dr. Matt!

I have been able to walk, sit, work, sleep and even return to the gym pain free. I continue to see Dr. Matt when an adjustment is necessary.

Shortly after receiving treatment, I brought my daughter for a consultation before she began to see the benefits of Dr. Matt care.

The great thing was that our insurance covered our treatments!

Thanks to Dr. Matt and his wonderful staff who have gone above and beyond to teach us a healthy lifestyle and make us feel as family!

Just started seeing Dr. Matt. He has been very thorough in explaining all the treatments.

Best chiropractic in NW Indiana! Professional work with care and concern for the individual! It is a place where YOU matter!

What a relief!!!
Dr. Matt has provided me with such relief. I’ll be honest. I have multiple issue that caused me to be tense and be in pain. Before his treatment, I thought that I had to deal with it forever. He proved me wrong. Thank you Dr. Matt! You are amazing!

Dr. Matt has helped both of our sons in ways we didn’t know possible. Goodbye, ear infections, irregularity, and difficulty focusing! Hello, better sleep, stronger immune systems, and calmer, happier children! Dr Matt and Dr Trish have my highest recommendation for chiropractic care, for the entire family!

If you want to stay healthy and keep your career take the time to see a chiropractic engineer….See Dr. Matt

Dr. Matt is a wonderful man…very intelligent in his field. He has gone over and above the extra mile to find ways to help his patients. He is a caring person and wants to see his patients get better. I’ve been to many Chiropractors through the years and he’s the only one that has been hones up front and explains everything to you and how your body works. I have made major improvements since I started seeing him last September. I have 3 herniated disc that have regenerative gaps between them now and the curve in my neck is improving.. I know I still have a long way to go, but I’ve made progress with the help of Dr. Matt and our Lord and Savior! GOD bless you Dr. Matt and thank you for your time and investment in me.

Getting my life back…no understatement.
Living with chronic back pain for over 15 years, then I couldn’t live with it anymore. I had bad experiences in the past with different Chiropractors, so it has taken this long to find a solution to my pain.
Found Dr. Matt Hammett and decided to trust him to do treatments.
So far (after a few weeks) it has already made a big difference for me.
Different approach to care and caring staff add up to a “New Life”.
Namaste.
Update: It has been 6 months since I found Dr. Hammett at New Life Chiropractic. I am now sleeping at night and having many flexible moments that I had not had for too long to mention!
I am so grateful for his help.
Recommend them highly.
Namaste.

Dr Matt is a encyclopedia of knowledge.
I came in with severe back pain and with a few questions and a quick test he could tell what was wrong and how we can fix it. I walked out of the office with feeling way better than when I walked in.

The Optometrist is amazed because Chiropractic Care improved and regenerated his eyesight even though he is into his seventies!

Amazing shoulder healing despite huge tears, surgery avoided…

When it comes to chiropractors, you really want to be picky with who you entrust your health. I’ve worked as a massage therapist with multiple chiropractors and I’ve seen the good, the bad, and the ugly. I’ve seen people hurt by doctors and I’ve seen people pushed too hard by aggressive marketing and sales. You won’t get any of that with Dr. Matt. He’s been my chiropractor of choice since 2012 (and I passed up free chiropractic care from former bosses and coworkers because I only trust Dr. Matt). He’s not only the best at providing THE RIGHT spinal adjustments with careful precision, but he’s also an expert in nutrition and can help you to make the right lifestyle adjustments to heal your ailments naturally. Dr. Matt is an elite chiropractor and Northwest Indiana is lucky to have him!

Everything is very good and all the people are very nice and attentive the doctor is a super professional and very kind, I really help myself that if I recommend it widely!

After suffering from migraine headaches for over 20 years. She has visited multi- doctors and chiropractors never attaining relief. After 20 years of searching for the right chiropractor, she discovered Dr. Matt & Trish Hammett.

He has helped relieve alot of the back pain from my job.

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 adjustments 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.

Coming on a regular basis has really relieved my neck and shoulder tension and helped my headaches.

We love this Dr. and his staff. We would recommend them to everyone!

Dr. Trish and Dr. Matt have helped my children through ear infections and overall wellness! Their passion and knowledge is inspiring!

I have white coat syndrome and have Never had a good experience with Drs. I felt I wasn’t being heard. From the moment I stepped foot in the door at New Life Chiropractic I knew I had found the right place!! My goal was no pain and no drugs and I have reached my goal!! There were things I had no idea that I could get over and all I had to do was ask and it was fixed. Not masked with drugs.
