Testimonials
Dr. Hemsley's ability to diagnose and solve complicated problems is top notch. While many doctors look to the painful area to find the source of the issue, Dr. Hemsley sees the body as a whole unit and is able to diagnose subtle and evasive problems. As an athlete I really appreciate a practitioner that understands the demands I put on my body. Dr. Hemsley always has proactive solutions to my injuries. He has healing hands, does great adjustments, and provides great attention to each patient. We will miss him in Napa, CA.

As a full time personal trainer/fitness instructor I couldn’t imagine my life without exercise. I breathe physical activity from the moment I wake up until the moment I go to bed. I have always thought of myself as someone who has no limits, can do anything and everything and of course never get injured! Unfortunately I was wrong. I injured my hip and lower leg due to excess amounts of running. The first 2 months I spent time trying to cure the pain myself with information I had learned during my certification process, but it was just not doing the trick. I began to see Dr. Matt Hemsley 2 months ago and during our visits not only did Matt relieve my pain, but he was also knowledgeable enough to teach me exercises that would accelerate my healing process. Dr. Matthew Hemsley is well-educated in the human body and its need for healthy habits. As a personal trainer/fitness instructor learning the importance of chiropractic care has not only enhanced my awareness of my body, but also ways to help others become more aware of theirs.

Over the years, Matt's quality care has helped keep me training optimally. As a personal trainer, spin instructor, and triathlete, I have gone through my share of injuries and overuse-related pain. I have found Dr. Matt's techniques especially helpful with my recurring neck and shoulder issues and would recommend him to any athlete looking to stay healthy and fit." Thanks Dr.Matt!
