Back Pain

Amazing Atmosphere and A Plethora of Knowledge

I came to Dr. Dave for a breech pregnancy causing sciatica pain at 27 weeks pregnant. Additionally, I was struggling with gestational diabetes for the second time. I also have a very physical job that caused my middle back pain between my shoulder blades. Sciatica pain was worst when walking too much or sitting for a period of time then standing. This affected my life with rest being the main priority instead of getting involved with too many activities or getting normal chores done. I have tried lifestyle changes like supplements, but I needed more physical help.

I achieved more energy and relief instantly after my adjustment. I have delivered my second baby remaining medication free for the gestational diabetes. I delivered her much quicker than my first and vaginally. I only had seven minutes of pushing and my water broke naturally six days early. I also have appreciated using healthier options to fuel my body.

Dr. Dave is really calm, professional and friendly. I definitely feel his care for each and every person he comes in contact with. The girls at the desk are amazingly accommodating and friendly. They are bright and cheery and always a pleasure to walk into. There’s an amazing atmosphere and a plethora of knowledge shared amongst all those cared for by HFC crew.

Shoulder Blade and Lower Back Pain

I actually started seeing Dr. Dave back in March, but it was for my 8-week-old son. My son has now graduated from his care plan. But when HFC offered their Mother’s Day free scan I figured since I had been there for a few months I should take advantage of the offer. I have always had on-and-off shoulder blade pain and lower back pain as well. Along with a growing child, I knew I wanted to feel the best I could be to be the best mom but also just help any future pain that might occur.

I am no longer in pain and if I ever sleep wrong, I am able to get right in to see Dr Dave and I feel 10x better after one adjustment. I am actually now 4.5 months pregnant, and Dr. Dave was the second person to find out next to my husband so I could ensure I had a good plan of care for the next 9 months. I can say I have zero back pain this pregnancy and my weekly adjustments are helping me keep up with my crazy 10-month-old who is on the move now.

The HFC team is amazing. They really do feel like family when I walk in the door. I know if I ever am in a pinch and need to bring my son, the ladies there will play with him and entertain him during my appointment. They take the time to get to know you and remember small details about you, your family, and your life. I 100% recommend Dr Dave for any chiropractic needs.

My Best Pregnancy!

Since starting chiropractic care I have experienced a better quality of life. I have less tension in my back, which is life changing (I would need my husband to rub my shoulders almost daily). This has been my best pregnancy out of 4! I had no back pain or pelvic pain at 30 weeks – I was in tears because of those issues with my pregnancy prior. During care, I also noticed improved sleep, increased energy compared to other pregnancies, decreased stress, and a better attitude.

Greatly Contributed to An Easier Pregnancy

“I originally came to Hanson Chiropractic to help with back pain during my first pregnancy. Dr. Hanson not only helped minimize the pain, but he connected me with other professionals to help me recover from my c-section and rebuild my core! I continued chiropractic care postpartum and through my second pregnancy. The second pregnancy was very similar to the first with one noticeable difference- no back pain! I believe chiropractic throughout my entire pregnancy greatly contributed to an easier pregnancy. Chiropractic care helps me stay healthy and when I do start to feel ill, keeps me from getting worse. I’ve never entered such a warm and welcoming doctor’s office. The design is very soothing, and the thoughtfully designed play area makes it easy to bring my kids and still relax during my adjustment. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the staff- they always greet you with a smile on their faces and show genuine care about you and your family.”

I No Longer Need Pain Medication

I started chiropractic care because I was experiencing daily headaches and lots of back pain. I was taking over-the-counter pain medicine every day. I found out I was pregnant and decided it was time to do something about all of the pain I was in. I had a very uncomfortable pregnancy with my daughter, and I wanted to be more comfortable and healthier this time around! Since I’ve started getting adjusted, I no longer experience daily headaches or back pain! I no longer need to take pain medication, and overall, I feel a lot healthier and more prepared to have my baby! I am also sleeping better at night, which is a huge bonus. The whole team at Hanson Family Chiropractic is amazing! They are all extremely friendly, and they remember things about my life that I’ve told them and make sure to follow up with me about how things are going. Dr. Dave makes you feel very comfortable, and overall, the environment is just great!

I Can Take Care of my Kids Without any Pain

I started chiropractic care when I was 7 months pregnant with my second baby. I was interested in the Webster technique as my first unmedicated labor was extremely long and unpleasant, to say the least. I wanted to be more proactive in preparing for this labor in hopes that it would be more enjoyable, faster, and less “painful”. However, I was also having really bad lower back pain and was having to wear a pregnancy support band daily, but I was still having pain, and obviously, the bands are not that
comfortable to wear in the first place. That back pain made it difficult to stand for long periods of time and affected how I interacted and played with my then 2-year-old at the time.

Not recent, but my second (unmedicated) labor and delivery was a dream, and I credit some of that to the chiropractic care I received prior to giving birth. I continue to celebrate how my lower back pain has been kept at bay (first from being pregnant and then from carrying around 2 babies)! I’m able to play with and take care of my kids without any pain. It went from being on my mind constantly to a thing of the past!

Dr. Dave and the entire team at Hanson Chiropractic are amazing. Everyone is genuinely so incredibly friendly and kind. Everyone takes the time to get to know you and to even just ask about your day. They really make you feel like family. I can’t recommend this place enough!

Holistic, Natural Treatment During Pregnancy

“I started chiropractic care while pregnant with my first child. I had a lot of back pain due to an ever-growing belly! I was determined to work up until I was in labor, but teaching was getting harder and harder. I am happy to say I taught a full day at school the day I went into labor!

Being pregnant, medications were not an option for me. I was determined to get holistic, natural treatment for the sake of my baby.

My biggest milestone was the birth of my happy, healthy daughter! Labor and delivery were uneventful, and my recovery was as to be expected-no doubt thanks to Dr. Dave!

My daughter Claire and I love coming to see Dr. Dave! He was great while I was pregnant with her and sees her now still at 4 months old. She and I have greatly benefited from her chiropractic care! Dr. Dave and his staff are so FLEXIBLE with appointments. With a brand-new baby, this has been invaluable! I’m so grateful that last minute appointment changes always work out and my daughter and I can make sure we stay on a healthy track!

Conceived Right Away and Had an Easy Pregnancy

“I started chiro care 8 months ago because I had chronic headaches and a lot of lower back pain. I was always popping Ibuprofen to fight the pain and discomfort. The back pain affected my sleep, and the headaches affected my ability to be my best at work. There were days I had trouble getting out of bed because I consistently would wake with a headache….

Since seeing Dr. Dave, I cannot even tell you the last time I had a headache… let alone pop a painkiller! I know it has been more than a year!

I believe chiro care helped me get pregnant right away. In March 2016 I was told that I was going to have a difficult time conceiving…. and I was pregnant in April 2016 (proved them wrong!). I saw Dr. Dave through the entire pregnancy and, I believe, because of this, all of the aches and pains people expect throughout pregnancy did not affect me. I never struggled sleeping, I did not have any pelvic discomfort, I do not have any back pain until the very end of the pregnancy, I was able to work out at the gym and work (on my feet all day) until the day my water broke!

The team at Hanson Family Chiropractic is just amazing! I, honestly, have never met a group of nicer individuals. They put their patients first and are truly devoted to the well-being of everyone who walks into the office. The Hanson Family Chiropractic environment is like one you do not come across often! I have nothing but positive things to say about the Hanson Family Chiro Staff!”

Hopeful for a Healthy and Uneventful Pregnancy

“I have struggled with back pain most of my life as a result of sports, bad posture and an abnormal curvature of my spine. By the time I started seeing Dr. Dave I couldn’t lay flat on my back at all and sleeping was painful and uncomfortable. I’ve also struggled with infertility and my first pregnancy after IVF was very unhealthy, and my son was born with a lot of problems.

After seeing Dr. Dave my back pain has cleared up quickly. We also did another round of IVF, got pregnant easily and so far, no issues. I’m hopeful this will continue to be a healthy and uneventful pregnancy under Dr. Dave’s care.

Dr. Dave and his tribe are like family. They are caring, positive and always greet me at the door with a smile. They hold my son while I get adjusted and share in our joys and progress. I love everything about each one of them.”
