Dr. Hanson respects the challenge of each condition as it presents and has a strong appreciation for the soft tissue component occurring with each injury. He will tailor a treatment plan to expedite your recovery and match your specific condition and goals. He has extensive training in sports chiropractic and rehabilitation with diplomate designations (DACBSP & DACRB) with the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians and American Chiropractic Board of Rehabilitation. Dr. Hanson has put in thousands of hours at various events, in training rooms, post-doctoral education, and clinical settings which has given him invaluable treatment insight. He utilizes myofascial release with motion and functional assessments for the spine and extremities. Active rehab is a key component to many of his treatment protocols that include advanced taping skills, Graston Technique, and therapeutic modalities. “You don’t have to be an elite athlete to get treated like one!”

In his spare time Dr. Hanson enjoys playing tennis, running, reading, and spending quality time with his wife and 2 young boys. For more about Dr. Hanson, please visit his personal web site at DrSteveHanson.com
