Dr. Scriven is exceptional. From the moment you walk in, you're treated with genuine care and professionalism. Dr. Scriven takes the time to really listen and explain what's going on, and the adjustments have made a huge difference in my quality of life. The office is clean, welcoming, and scheduling is always easy. Highly recommend to anyone in the Davis area looking for a chiropractor who truly cares about their patients' well-being!

I have never been a chiropractor person, but wow, this was amazing! I could barely function and after two sessions I was completely healed! Magic! Thanks Hunter!

I’m a skeptic by nature when it comes to medical practitioners. It took my wife’s firm insistence to get me into the office after I threw my back out lifting two heavy suitcases in poor form. The pain was excruciating and unlike anything I’d dealt with before. Hunter Scriven is exceptionally capable. He operates with high precision and genuine concern for the outcome. The results were immediate: my pain subsided rapidly, and the improvement was drastic. I’m currently at 90%, and while there's still some sensitivity, the trajectory is impressive. Scriven’s strength is his adaptability. He adjusts the treatment in real-time based on my feedback, ensuring every move is effective. The bottom line: he took me from being crippled by pain to back on my feet. It works…shockingly well.

Had been having knee pain after being hit by a car. I decided to go in for Shockwave therapy and while my knee still has a long ways to go before being fully rehabilitated, I can say that the treatment has helped me in some of my day to day activities. . Stairs are no longer as dreadful as they used to be.

My step-father recommended Dr. Scriven to me after being treated successfully for back pain and a torn hamstring. Dr. Scriven is very professional and personable. He treated me for De Quervains tendonitis which was extremely painful and limiting my usage of my right wrist and thumb. Through regular treatment with shockwave therapy (High-energy acoustic waves), the pain is almost completely gone and I am able to use my right hand again. Dr. Scriven has also given me physical therapy exercises to help now that my thumb and wrist are much better. I had tried numerous home treatment and steroid shots before coming to Dr. Scriven, and the shock wave therapy is the first thing that has helped my condition to improve. Thank you, Dr. Scriven!

I was extremely impressed with the whole experience – Dr Scriven made me feel at ease from the moment I walked into the consulting room. I am now on a journey to improving my alignment and have high hopes that in a few weeks I will definitely see a huge improvement to the pain I am in at the moment. I highly recommend him.

What To Expect:

Shockwave sessions will typically require 30 minutes. We will apply an acoustic gel over the area of complaint, which will help transfer the energy of the sound waves into the damaged tissues. During the treatment, patients may experience mild discomfort as the shockwaves break up scar tissue and restart the healing process. It is completely normal to feel a slight “soreness” in the area depending on your initial pain level, but many patients report immediate pain relief and increased functionality after the first treatment.​​

We typically recommend a series of 3 to 6 Shockwave Therapy sessions, spaced 7 days apart, depending on the severity of your condition. There are no long-term commitments required to begin treatment, and we are always available to answer any questions you may have about the process. We believe Shockwave Therapy is a game-changing tool that can benefit everyone, from high-level athletes to those with sedentary jobs, helping them achieve their goals and live pain-free. Having experienced its benefits firsthand, we consider it one of the most effective methods available for maintaining overall health and providing top-quality care to our patients.
