Meet Dr. Dana Hammond

Why Chiropractic

From a young age, Dr. Dana felt a deep calling to help others. Her fascination with science and the human body naturally guided her toward a career in healthcare. Her personal journey with chiropractic began when her mother suffered a debilitating episode of sciatica that left her unable to work or even walk. Conventional treatments and prescription medications offered only temporary relief and function, leaving Dr. Dana and her family disheartened. It was a recommendation for chiropractic care that transformed her mother’s life, restoring her mobility and quality of life. This pivotal experience ignited Dr. Dana’s passion for chiropractic and solidified her commitment to supporting families on their health journey.

Dr. Dana earned her Doctor of Chiropractic degree from the University of Western States in Portland, Oregon, with a special focus on the unique needs of children and families. Her dedication is reflected in her extensive work with youth through Big Brothers Big Sisters of McHenry County and her roles as an after-school caregiver, teacher’s assistant, and nanny.

She is a certified Webster Technique practitioner through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA), specializing in care for pregnant women, and a certified PX Doc, highlighting her continued expertise in pediatric chiropractic care. Dr. Dana’s approach combines her passion for family wellness with a deep understanding of how chiropractic care can support every stage of life.

Outside the clinic, Dr. Dana is active and adventurous, enjoying activities such as cooking, gardening, backpacking, hiking, and camping. She cherishes time with her two cats, Oskar and Arthur, who are always up for snuggles and playtime. Dr. Dana is dedicated to helping families thrive and looks forward to partnering with you on your path to health and wellness.

I am dedicated to helping families thrive through chiropractic care. I look forward to partnering with you on your path to health and wellness!

What People Say

  • "Dr. Lauren is wonderful! After having a bad experience with another Chiropractor I was reluctant to try another one again. Dr. Lauren is super nice and really takes the time to explain things so you really understand. I was experiencing some issues with running and fitness. I chose Dr. Lauren because she also runs and really understands the athletic mechanics. I will definitely recommend her to others!"

    Stephanie S. via Facebook

  • "Cute, clean and comfortable office with super easy parking -- literally a few steps from my car to the door (a lifesaver when you have little ones). Dr. Lauren and her staff are so friendly, you instantly feel comfortable and like you've been a patient for years. My kids love getting adjusted like mommy does and this is the healthiest we've ever been - I literally can't remember the last time we were on an antibiotic."

    Tara B. via Facebook

  • "The BEST!!! I started seeing Dr. Lauren before I was pregnant, continued throughout my pregnancy, and now postpartum. She is super knowledgeable and works wonders! Great office and excellent care."

    Alicia M. via Facebook

  • "Dr. Lauren knows what she's doing! She kept me healthy and comfortable throughout my entire pregnancy. I slept so well after getting adjusted. She is also excellent with children. My daughter had constant fluid in her ears for two solid years. Three months after she started getting regular adjustments, the fluid was gone."

    Meg R. via Facebook

  • "I love Well Family Chiropractic! Dr. Lauren makes sure everyone is taken care of. She does not rush through my adjustment. She is so kind and helpful! I have had neck pain for years and she has helped relieve the pain. Dr. Lauren has also guided me to live a healthier lifestyle."

    Jenn H. via Facebook

  • "Dr. Lauren is a life changer!!! She is most definitely the reason I got through my pregnancy! She has been treating me for almost a year now and she also treats my 3 month old son. She is extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and goes way above and beyond! I don’t know what we would do without her! She is a great listener and there for any challenge we have, and is always searching for a solution if she doesn’t have an immediate answer. I appreciate her so much! Her front desk staff is also amazing and so helpful so make sure you call immediately and set up an appointment, you won’t regret it!"

  • "Dr. Lauren has been a blessing to our family. She was the first person to suspect a tongue and lip tie in my daughter when she was only a few weeks old. After her recommendation to see a specialist, we decided to go ahead and have the tongue tie revision performed. It was an emotionally difficult decision and Dr. Lauren provided a lot of support, even connecting me with a few other mamas who had been in similar circumstances. After the release, we continued to see Dr. Lauren for the recommended post chiropractic care and beyond. We noticed an immediate improvement in our baby girl - she began sleeping better and seemed more comfortable and less gassy. She also started nursing like a champ! In fact, she gained 10 ounces in one week following the procedure! Over time, her slight torticollis disappeared and she no longer favored turning her head to one side. I’m incredibly grateful to Dr. Lauren and highly recommend her as a chiropractor and trusted healthcare advisor. Thank you!!"
