Sports, Core Strength & Physical Growth Success Stories
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!

Dramatic improvement in my daughter’s core strength
“After I had done some research about the numerous benefits of chiropractic care I brought my daughter, Reese, in to see Dr. Dave. She was born by cesarean section because she was breech. In utero, she was in a V position and unable to move, therefore, she was born with no core strength. She was a very late walker and quite clumsy after she began to walk. We thought she’d grow out of it, but she didn’t. We had tried PT to strengthen her core with no success. I happened upon Dr Dave’s website when researching chiropractors and was intrigued with his pediatric certification and impressed with the success he had with children. So began our care when Reese was 5 years old. During her initial scans Dr. Dave not only noticed that she had very little core strength but that she also had issues in her neck due to trauma at birth from the force of being pulled out via c-section. After 6 weeks of treatment, we noticed considerable improvement in her core strength. Before chiropractic care Reese spent more time on the ground than upright on the soccer field. We started chiropractic care in between her fall and spring seasons and witnessed dramatic improvement on the field.

Great Improvements
Theo has a rare genetic condition causing global developmental delays, hypotonia and the inability to sit, stand or walk. Since starting chiropractic care, we have seen improvements in two major aspects of Theo’s life. His vestibular system is more balanced, eliminating his startle reflex when picked up and improving his core strength and stability. In addition, Theo’s ability to fall asleep and stay asleep has greatly improved. We have been able to reduce the use of sedatives and Theo seems more rested and aware. In general, Theo is happier and more stable since we started at HFC. To put it simply, he smiles more (and isn’t that the most important thing?). We love finding out who will be adjusting Theo when we arrive – because we are never disappointed! Theo was comfortable with both doctors from the beginning, something that usually takes weeks/months. Dr. Hanson and Dr. Hopper are such a joy, they genuinely care about what is going on in Theo’s life and they are easy to talk to.

Reaching Her Full Potential
“We initially tried chiropractic care for our daughter as a possible remedy for some skin and gut issues she was experiencing. But after seeing how much improvement she made in other areas; we were blown away by the difference. With four kids and mom all wanting care, and after an intense restoration phase, Audrey made the most improvement so we felt she didn’t need to continue. This would allow other family members to get the help they needed on our tight budget. After a few months, we didn’t see any major issues with her return, but we also saw some of the positive benefits diminish. Chiropractic care helped with her balance, focus and anxiety. It also was something she ended up missing, even though at first, she thought she didn’t need it. We made the not so tough call to continue with visits for Audrey because it simply helped her in so many ways. We always joke that you have no idea how good you can feel until you try chiropractic care and that sums up Audrey’s experience well. Until she had full functioning, she never knew what really good felt like in her body. Once she knew, she could tell when she didn’t have it again. Now, she wants to go back and continue her visits. She loves it, and we love seeing her reach her full potential through chiropractic care at Hanson Family Chiropractic.”
