Hanson Chiropractic

I’ve been going to Dr. Hanson for over a year now for adjustments. My lower back has been bothering me for some time. I also was having tendinitis in my elbow. Something I have been suffering from for about 10 years. It took some aggressive treatment. Not for the faint of heart but it has taken away about 80% of my pain. I had injured myself when I was getting ready for my body building show and also tore my tricep. He put some kind of ointment on the spot and did some serious deep tissue work. It took several visits but it was totally worth it. He spends a lot of time trying to understand your pain points. He also incorporates some technology and equipment that I had not experienced before. They also have several massage therapists. They take a very holistic approach to your care. The facility is very clean and organized and the front desk staff is very helpful. I reschedule a lot and they never say anything about it. They’re very flexible. They also offer a weight loss program called Ideal Protein. It’s very effective and science based. It definitely gets results. They also have dedicated covered parking which is very convenient.

I purchased a Groupon package deal for a massage + chiropractic evaluation + consultation, and I was very satisfied with my massage.
The three parts of the package are spaced apart as separate visits, so I had my brief consultation with the chiropractor first. I gave my history, he agreed I had neck muscle tension, and we scheduled the massage.
I had an excellent massage with Lisette. Ah, she has magical hands! I asked for aggressive treatment and left with a pleasantly sore back for the next 24 hours. She was honest about her expertise (deep tissue and pregnancy massages) and scope (full-​body but not facial massages), but she was very knowledgeable and eager to share self-​care exercises with me for my specific condition. I have received massages from a few LMPs in the area, and hers was favorite, one I will return for. The massage lotion was smooth, odorless, and not sticky. As far as ambiance, the room had relaxing music, a pleasant soothing aroma, and made me feel comfortable and relaxed — occasionally providers and patients can be heard in the hallway, but it was not disturbing to me during the massage.
Finally, I returned for an evaluation. An x-​ray was not performed as it was unnecessary for me, but the chiropractor did a thorough, focused exam and shared good information with me.
For students, they offer a discounted rate for services (for example, $ 26 for chiro sessions, ~$ 60 per 1-​hr massage). They are in-​network providers with Lifewise (for UW students).
The receptionists were very friendly and made scheduling easy, also with phone call reminders. Other than the inconvenience of returning for 3 separate appointments, the Groupon deal was unbeatable, and the massage felt so good that I will be back!

I have been seeing Dr. Hanson for over a year on and off. I have scoliosis and I come in about every two weeks. I have seen a great improvement in my pain and in my mobility since I started coming in more consistently. I have also always been treated well by the receptionist who has helped me rescedule when problems have come up etc… I would and have reccomended this practice to others. Thank you Dr. Hanson. You have greatly improved my quality of life!

I’ve been really impressed with what chiropractic therapies have done for my back when I had an injury during the spring time. It took 12 visits for my chronic pain to completely vanish. I saw Dr. Hanson three times a week for the first two weeks and then two times a week for the next two weeks. It was better than getting pills to treat my torn disk. The whole office is very very nice and I no longer have misconceptions of chiropractors now. If I can treat something via a natural way, I will try this options first before seeing an MD for sure!

After reviewing the other reviews on here about using LivingSocial deals I was concerned but really needed my first chiropractic experience. I bought my deal on a Monday for $ 39, scheduled on Tuesday and went in for my exam with Dr. Hanson on Thursday. He was knowledgeable and very friendly. They scheduled me for the 1 hour deep tissue massage and adjustment that came with my deal for Friday. From purchase to fully redeemed in one week. Quite opposite from what others have experienced.
Due to my own scheduling I went in the following Monday (today) for the adjustment. Met with Dr. Hanson for a few minutes to go over a treatment plan and develop a plan of attack for my back issues.
This was my first experience with anything Chiropractic and I am very happy. Currently scheduled for another adjustment this Friday as well.

I came to Dr. Hanson with chronic back pain that hindered me every day. I had two seriously painful injuries two months in a row and I was able to get in same day each time! He set me up with back strengthening exercises and fixed me up over my next visits. I would highly recommend Dr. Hanson’s practice to anyone who asks! He gives a student discount too for those that are in school and tight on money! Nothing but great things to say!

Have been seeing them since June 2014. Everyone of their staff are excellent in their field, very knowledgable and compasionant, from reception, to traction, to platforms, to xray, to infrared, to massage, to clinicians. They have all the necessary tools to assist in obtaining the healthy structure and to maintain it once getting to your individual optimum level. I have been to numerous other chiropractic offices, but this one has all the tools needed and the truely caring staff with the knowledge to make a difference in your life, as they have done for me. Highly recommend Hanson Chiropractic and Massage to Everyone!

I spent seven months undergoing treatment at Hanson Chiropractic for an automobile accident injury to my neck and back. They are the best. Dr. Hanson is very knowledgeable, thorough, and caring. It was always easy to change appointments, or get appointments at the time I needed. The masseuses were all very skilled and did wonderful work. Highly recommended.

I was excited about the groupon deal I bought. For $ 59 I was
to get a free consultation, 1 hour massage and a decompression of the spine! Dr Hanson was nice and seemed very knowledgable. After the consultation I was excited to schedule my massage which is supposed to be followed by my decompression. The day of my appnt came and my massage started about 10 mins late and ended about 15 mins. early. My «decompression» came about 30 mins after and it wasn’t what I thought it was. Dr. Hanson pretty much sat me down to talk about treatments they can do for me and he suggested to join the massage club. Sounded good so I agreed. Then that was it! I received no spinal decompression but just more time wasted trying to get my future business. I made an appnmnt for my next massage but ended up cancelling it and I’m never going back there again. I paid more for what I received and used gas up driving over there. I read on one of the reviews that they were asked for an insurance card. I am so happy I did not give them any of that information. I thought it was weird for them to ask for insurance anyway since I only went there for a groupon deal. Anyway do not come here it’s a scam and very dishonest! I felt like a fool!

I purchased a Groupon to try this place out. I was pretty excited to get a professional massage from a clinic in a convenient location for me.
When I first contacted them, they refused to let me make an appointment. Groupon Support ended up contacting them about it, and then when I emailed them again, they all of a sudden had a bunch of appointments open during the times I originally requested. By the time they emailed me back with the available appointments, I had already called Groupon Support and was able to return the deal. This was all stretched out over the course of a week. Super annoying.
If you’re like me and thinking about purchasing the deal just to get a massage, don’t waste your time, because they make you go in for several appointments like the «Wellness Exam» before you can get the massage.

What a sham. I’d give 0 stars if I could. Stay away from this VERY dishonest practice!!!
My boyfriend purchased Groupon deals for the free chiropractic consultation and massage thinking it’d be a nice way to get a couples massage. I love my boyfriend but boy, our experience was NOT what we imagined but way worse.
Our first visit started with a free consultation. We went in separately and Dr. Hanson (very nice man) recommended I come in for 5 visits for some simple «adjustments.» Next thing I know I’m paying $ 15 copay for 5 sessions, each lasting 5 – 7 min long and me receiving services that I didn’t need AND didn’t include everything I was promised (each session I just got the roller bed for 4 mins and got my back cracked). I even got a different male chiropractor for one visit and he half-​assed my session it was appalling– basically treated me like a piece of meat and just did two or three quick cracks to my back & boom done. Not to mention I had to leave work in Downtown for these sessions during the daytime, and was trapped into showing up and scheduling the 5 appointments due to threats of cancellation fees.
But here’s the kicker: During the first session, the receptionist checked my insurance card and told me I was covered, & all that was needed was the $ 15 copay per visit. $ 15 for ~7 mins of chiropractic service is a ripoff in itself, but I wanted to be nice and wanted to support the practice. After they rendered the service and I completed 5 visits where I saw NO improvement in my back, they recommended I do 5 MORE sessions! Nope– I was not about to get roped in again. I was incredibly kind the entire time, and let the receptionist know I wasn’t going to continue with the service. She was genuinely thankful I told her in advance instead of making an appointment and not showing up– it sounded like that occurred a lot.
Finally two weeks later or so, bills arrived at my home because, as it turned out, my insurance DID NOT cover the services despite the staff verbally alerting me it was covered. I came in 5 times and they omitted it from me each time. Next thing I know I’m being asked to pay up $ 105 out of my own pocket, despite explaining to the staff on the phone why I refused to pay when all she could say was «well your insurance didn’t end up covering it, so it’s your responsibility to pay.»
Finally after months and in hopes of defending my credit score I begrudgingly sent them a cashier’s check. Now I lost $ 105 + $ 75 (copay) and we didn’t even get a couples massage we wanted after this whole ordeal. I plan to take Hanson Chiropractic to small claims court– Never experienced such a dishonesty from ANY business in my life. I especially like how they try and twist this like it’s my fault.

They also give you $ 5 to review this place. Nice looking place. It smells nice, tons of friendly staff. They have tons of merchandise for sell though. They try to maximize profits. Going because of an accident and probably wouldn’t go again if I had to pay for it.

Ambience. A+
Service. A+
Price A.
Affordable. Professionally dressed and presence. Clean establishment. Good lighting nice easy listening music playing in lobby. And you can’t hear it when in massage rooms.
Dimmed lighting.
Like that they offer Complimentary tea and coffee while waiting.
High tech recording tools for range of motion.
Overall, my pain went away after 6 sessions… I’m maintaining by doing my exercises… and I personally plan going back every quarter for an adjustment. (due to budgeting)

Dr. Hanson is a miracle worker! I came to him several years ago while suffering MAJOR lower back pain that made it almost impossible to sit/​stand/​walk for any amount of time. After a few weeks of regular visits, my pain was considerably less. After a few months of treatment, my pain was completely gone. I followed up with the occasional adjustment to keep things on track.
About a month ago, my back pain came back after I started a new exercise program. It was severe and I was extremely uncomfortable. I went back to Dr. Hanson and felt relief after just 2 visits. I have been seeing him again on a regular basis and am very happy to say that my pain is gone.
All of the office staff is extremely friendly and helpful and, like I said, Dr. Hanson works his magic on you. I highly recommend seeing him! Even my 15-​yr old daughter goes to him occasionally.

Great clinic, Dr Hanson is a great practitioner. Has lots of great equipment to help a wide variety of back health needs. He’s helped me with my back and neck problems and I’ll continue with regular adjustments. The only drawback is that sometimes they’re really busy, and I think the front desk staff person, Angela, has to do a lot of work to keep things running smoothly.

I love this place! The whole staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. Dr. Hanson is amazing to work with and can adjust my back and neck perfectly. I’ve had a bad chiropractor before that did nothing for me, and when I switch to hanson chiropractic I felt relief in a couple weeks, going 2 – 3 times a week. Dr. Hanson even gave me exercises to do that also really help me improve. Now my back is 100% and I go every now again for adjustments.
I also had a massage and it was great as well. I forgot what her name was but she gave me an amazing deep tissue massage and really got the knots out of my back.
I would highly recommend checking Hanson Chiropractic out! It feels great to be pain free!

I purchased a Groupon $ 29 for one-​hour massage. I let it set too close to the expiration date. I scheduled my appointment just a week before the expiration date. However, I had to reschedule due to family emergency. When I rescheduled, I told the receptionist that I would be willing to pay for the difference to use my Groupon. She told me it’s only a few days passed the expiration date, they would still accept it. I was very happy.
This place is not too far from Northgate. It’s in a new building (in between Roosevelt, Pinehurst, and 15^th) where there is a garage below their office. There are both stair and elevator access. The public bathroom on the floor is very clean. Chiropractor office is bright and neat. I believe massage and chiropractor are their main focus. However, they also have weight-​loss consultation.
My massage therapist, Paula, was very friendly and she was able to help me relax. The pressure from her massage was just right. One thing I notice about was the massage room. It’s a bit small and crowded. It’s like other massage clinic. Hanson offers massage club price for people who likes to get massage frequently. I think it’s a good deal. But, I don’t feel the urge having it yet.

The facility/​office is really nice. The massage was awesome!

Best place to go to get a execellent massage, Chiropratic and Ideal Protein! Great Services and great staffs to be around. I consider Hanson Chriopractic as my second home :-)
My back and neck has been feeling better since I started seeing Hanson Chiropractic. I am more relaxed with nice massage i get once a month for a great price. Lost 15 pounds in about 3 weeks with Ideal Protein.
I would highly recommend it.

Yes really this is as good as it gets! And I mean that in the best of ways.
Here is my story.
I am moving to Japan on Jan. 20^th. All of my stuff is going into storage except what I can pack into two suitcases. Now rewind to Dec. 29^th.
My back had been stiff since November. Then i started to have spasms sometimes. It was getting harder and harder to bend over. But I ignored it. I thought with all the moving in addition to exercising I was just working to hard and had sore muscles. I would try to stretch more to loosen up and otherwise tried not to think much of it.
Then after a long day of packing I was taking laundry out of my dry and as I turned around my back spasm so bad that I nearly fell down. The sensation in my back was followed by a surging pain down my leg the whole thing charlie horsed. It was just awful.
I still thought it was a muscle issue. So I saw two message people. Before being guided to see a chiropractor. Sitting in a car let alone sitting at all was not really an option. Every time I did my back would freak out. I needed someone close, good and affordable.
Thanks to Unilocal I found Dr. Hanson and called. He could see me Monday! Wonderful. After making the appointment I realized there were only two reviews. Other chiropractors in the area had more reviews. So this concerned me. But I already had an appointment and I was willing to do anything to make my back feel better.
After a very painful weekend I finally got to meet Dr. Hanson. He was able to quickly figure out that I had thrown out my SI joint. Don’t know what that is or where it is on the body. Trust me you don’t want to learn the hard way like I did.
I explained my upcoming move and so he started me on an intensive recovery plan. I have met with Dr. Hanson only 5 times and by the end of my 3^rd visit I was doing remarkably better. Now today after my 5 appointment I feel better than I have in months. Before seeing Dr. Hanson I was concerned I wouldn’t be able to sit in the airplane for 10 hours.
Dr. Hanson and all of his staff is very caring profession people. They really just want to see you feel better. They don’t try to give you care you don’t need. It was a wonderful experience. He even gave me techniques, stretch and exercises to prevent future issues, and how do deal with them if they come up so hopefully I don’t have to have this experience again.
Also the message lady Karen is amazing!!! After one session with her all my knots in my back were gone!!!
Oh forgot one of the most important things! These guys are affordable. I don’t have insurance and I don’t make a lot of money but I was able to come here and get better without stress about money. Which is so important.
I can’t say thank you enough!!!
