★★★★★“Dr. Hanson is fantastic! I had been dealing with some ongoing pain and tightness in my lower back, glute, and right hip. I had been to see massage therapist, chiropractor, and PT…nothing was helping. After only 2 visits with Dr. Hanson, I am back to running, biking and swimming. Thank you!!”
★★★★★“I Highly recommend Dr. Hanson. Dry needling has helped my mobility incredibly. I went in a few months back for a frozen shoulder. After a few treatments I can move my shoulder and neck easily. I no longer wake up in pain. This is really given me hope and honestly my life back. Dr. Hanson is professional, knowledgeable and very kind.”
★★★★★“This has truly been life-changing. I used to need weekly chiropractic visits for my neck because my muscles kept causing it to go out. Since starting care here, I haven’t been back to the chiropractor in six months. I feel better than I have in years.”

We Don’t Just Chase Pain
The Usual Approach
Treat where it hurts. Stretch what feels tight. Strengthen what feels weak.
Sometimes that helps. But when the same pain keeps coming back, there’s usually more going on than the painful spot itself.
Our Approach
We look at what’s painful, what’s overloaded, what isn’t moving well, and how your nerves, muscles, and joints are working together.
Then we build the treatment around what we find.
Find the problem. Treat it in the right order. Reassess. Adjust.
Treatments We Use
Your examination guides which treatments make sense and in what order.
Dry Needling
Treats muscles and compensations.Used for trigger points, muscle guarding, tendon problems, and movement imbalances.
Focused Shockwave
Restarts the healing response.Calms pain and supports longer-term repair in stubborn tendon, fascia, and ligament problems.

Answers to Common Questions
Is this just acupuncture?
No. Acupuncture is one tool we use. Your visit is built around hands-on pain mapping, orthopedic assessment, targeted treatment, and rechecking your response.
Do you treat the same day?
Usually, yes. The first visit is designed to be both diagnostic and therapeutic when appropriate.
Do I need imaging first?
Not always. Imaging can be useful, but many pain generators do not show clearly on imaging. We compare imaging with your symptoms, exam, movement, palpation, and treatment response.
How many visits will I need?
It depends on what we find. Some problems respond quickly. Chronic tissue problems, old injuries, nerve sensitivity, and poor tissue capacity usually need a longer plan.
What conditions do you treat?
We commonly treat neck pain, back pain, shoulder pain, sciatica, migraines, headaches, knee pain, hip pain, plantar fasciitis, tendon pain, nerve irritation, and old injuries.
What treatments do you use?
Care may include acupuncture, dry needling, shockwave therapy, prolotherapy, perineural injection therapy, electroacupuncture, trigger point injections, acupotomy, or other targeted techniques.
