Anxiety, Emotions & Sleep Success Stories
Welcoming Team
We began with chiropractic care when my son started having behavior issues with having big emotions throughout the day. Some health improvements we have seen have been better sleep and being able to deescalate big emotions over small problems. Dr. Hanson and his wonderful team are just so welcoming and make you feel like a part of their family. They provide so many fun experiences from little special healthy treats for kids to Mother’s day mocktails! We feel so lucky to have found Hanson Family Chiropractic!

Thank You!
Bennett began having anxious feelings at around 8 years old and it kept him from doing things he really enjoys. Since starting chiropractic care Bennett does not experience the same level in anxiety anymore and when he does get nervous and we can talk through it much easier. Everyone is so kind and welcoming! They also think of the best office events.

MORE SLEEP for the Whole Family
“We started chiropractic care for our then three-year-old daughter due to signs of anxiety and sleep problems. I realized through conversations with Dr. Dave that her level of anxiety wasn’t normal in an otherwise healthy three-year-old kid. She had a tremendous amount of anxiety surrounding sleep. She had a ritual of five things we had to do each night before leaving her room. She would wake 1-3 times each night demanding us to repeat the ritual to reassure her. The middle of the night commotion was waking our entire family every night. During the day, she had a nervous hand tap on her leg that I witnessed many times a day, especially if there was anything she was uncertain about. Tantrums during the day were a norm. I told myself it was just her age, but in my gut, it seemed like something more. For 9 months, we tried different approaches to help her (being stricter with her/her schedule, being more compassionate and reassuring at bedtime, no sugar, etc.), but nothing was lessening the sleeping fits. After 4 months of chiropractic care, we are celebrating MORE SLEEP for the whole family! Beautiful, restful sleep.

We Have Seen a HUGE Improvement – NeuroStorm Success
“Keegan has sensory processing issues, anxiety and impulse control issues. He has also had a rough year with infections (especially ear infections). He displayed sensory issues since birth. We researched chiropractic care after seeing specialists, therapists, counselors, etc. It has freely affected Keegan’s life! His anxiety makes it hard to go to stores, places with crowds, basically anywhere. His sensory issues affect basically every aspect of his life. As a parent, it was hard to watch. We have tried physical therapy, occupational therapy, feeding therapists, GI doctors, ENT doctors, various doctors, counseling, sensory diets, sensory programs, books. You name it, we probably tried it. We have seen major improvements in his health and immune system! We have noticed less ear infections, seen regular bowel movements with no constipation! His breathing has become much better and I barely hear him cough! His anxiety is better. We can go to the grocery store or crowded places with less interventions. His impulse control has gotten much better! He is becoming better at focusing. We have seen a HUGE improvement with his motor skills!

I Feel Like our daughter is Back – NeuroStorm Success
“Ada, now 6, was diagnosed with sensory processing disorder around age 4. Since birth there was an “unsettledness” to her – emotional outbursts, tip toe walking, inability to focus. We’ve tried all sorts of therapy, diet changes, activity, and as she began 1st grade and went to school all day, we had a feeling we would face some new challenges with her body and inability to stay on task. Her unsettled approach to life used to affect EVERYTHING – the mood of our house, her relationship with her 2 brothers and us, her parents. Almost like we couldn’t be close to her because her outlook on life was so difficult to predict. Almost like she didn’t have mental clarity and felt anxious most of her day. Slowly but surely, that has begun to shift. Ada sleeps better and is overall more healthy and able to fight colds. She is now more able to calm herself down and stay regulated emotionally. Her outbursts and tantrums are so infrequent and even when she does have them, they aren’t physical and there’s no screaming involved. She’s able to accurately describe her feelings with clarity and tell what has made her upset. She doesn’t tip toe walk either and seems more grounded physically and mentally. Ada has always been extremely cautious in new situations. That proved to be true when starting chiropractic care, BUT… EVERYONE was and is SO patient, SO inviting, SO genuinely caring- that it didn’t take long for her to run to the car in excitement and anticipation when she learned she had an appointment. Dr. Dave moves at the pace he knows Ada can handle. He is gentle, and understanding and very knowledgeable. You can tell he loves his job and believes in his calling.”

Changed My Life
The difficulties started when I was 7 and lasted for years. It was to the point where it felt like someone was snapping my spine. It definitely affected the way I played with others and when I came here for the first time, it changed my life. I have felt way better and more energized in the morning, I can run around more while still being able to stay up later at night now. Dr. Dave is a very funny person in general, and the front desk ladies definitely made me want to join them when I get older!
