Map what’s struggling.

Dr. Hanson checks joint motion, muscle contribution, nerve sensitivity, and the movements that bring on your pain.

Dr. Hanson explains what he found, what he recommends addressing first, how many visits may be realistic, and what care will cost.

“I am so grateful to have found Hanson Complete Wellness. As a figure skater, I have been battling lower back pain for many years now. Dr. Hanson has created a plan to relieve that pain with dry needling that has truly changed my life already. He is detailed, professional, and is thorough in explaining the process.”

“Changed my life! I get dry needling with Dr Hanson and he has me back to 100% mobility! He is exceptional. I’m 54 and had a hip replacement last year. Lots of sports injuries and aches that come with being active. He is truly amazing. To find someone who actually knows what’s going on in my body and addresses the cause has been a turning point for me! So thankful!!”

“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!!”

Common questions

Will I be treated during the first visit?

Usually, yes. Dr. Hanson first explains the examination findings, recommended plan, and costs. When appropriate, treatment can then begin during the first visit, followed by a recheck of relevant movements or symptoms.

What should I wear?

Wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows access to the painful area. Gym shorts work well for hip, knee, or leg problems; a tank top or loose shirt works well for neck, shoulder, or arm problems.

Do I need imaging or a referral?

No referral is needed. Bring imaging reports if you have them, but imaging is not required before booking.

What if I need shockwave or injections?

The $150 first-visit fee is applied toward shockwave or injection treatment when one of those options is recommended. We explain the cost before proceeding.

Do you accept insurance?

We do not accept or bill insurance. HSA and FSA cards are accepted, and a superbill can be provided on request.

You don’t need to know which treatment you need before you come in.
