After a car accident (that seemed minor at the time) my neck got so stiff I could barely move it. I could not turn my head right or left or look down to the left or right without pain. I went the typical route and started physical therapy through my Orthopedic. After several weeks and the neck pain and stiffness getting worse rather than better, I began seeking alternative treatment. I had heard about "Graston" as a viable option and went on a quest looking for a Chiropractor that offered this technique. I found Dr. Hanson on the internet and placed a call to his office - expecting to get an appointment a week or two out. To my surprise, Dr. Hanson himself answered the call - and I am sooo grateful he did! (his office assistant was stuck in Chicago due to a snow storm) I explained my situation and requested a consultation. He must have heard the desperation in my voice because He said, "I can see you today if you are able, can you be here at 12:30?" I went in to see him (during HIS lunch hour) Along the course of my treatment with the Ortho, it was discovered through an MRI that I had a lesion in my c6/c7 and into T1. Dr. Hanson broke out the books and sat with me and helped me understand what was going on in my neck. He even went so far as to send my MRI and Xrays to Iowa to be be reviewed. After speaking to him about all my aches and pains since The accident, and after thoroughly going over my history, he did Graston and an adjustment. I scheduled two more visits that week and three for the following week. after the first TWO treatments, I was so surprised that I could actually turn my head and move my neck around! My biggest concern was NOT losing mobility as my Ortho had already suggested that I may need surgery to "fuse" my neck! and with just two treatments he had restored much of the movement! The time and efforts Dr. Hanson has gone through to ensure I am as informed as possible about my situation is a testament to the care he has for each of his patients. Dr. Hansons demeanor is friendly, honest and knowledgeable. He makes you feel like a person and speaks to you like a friend youve known for years. I highly recommend Dr. Hanson and the Broward Spine and Injury Center.

I saw Dr. Hansen after I had been hurt in a car accident. I had an injury to my head and neck that caused headaches as well as pain into my back. After the crash I went to the hospital emergency room and then found Dr. Hansen’s office. I set up an appointment for a consultation and we did my chiropractic examination the same day. His evaluation was very thorough and detailed, much more so than any I had before. He treated my head, neck, shoulder and back pain from my accident injury and I’m proud to call him my chiropractor! I definitely recommend him to anyone in Ft Lauderdale who needs treatment for pain or injury. When I saw Dr. Hansen the second time it was for a pretty scary condition. I had a pain in my leg during the night that caused me to sit up quickly. I didn’t notice injury immediately, but after I got up I noticed I could not lift my foot off the ground. I waited a few days and it still wasn’t getting any better. I set up an appointment with Dr. Hansen to have it checked out. After doing a variety of tests it was determined I had “drop foot” which can be caused by impingement on a low back nerve root from a disc herniation or an injury to a nerve going down the back of my leg. He explained that there are other causes, but they did not fit my clinical picture. He treated me using ultrasound and physical therapy along with chiropractic adjustments. He had me working specific exercises to try to get my function back. It took around two weeks for me to get near full function back. I am thankful, very thankful for Dr. Hansen’s help and recommend him in my strongest possible terms. If you need an excellent Fort Lauderdale Chiropractor, look no further!

Awesome Fort Lauderdale Chiropractor! I have been to several chiropractors in my life, but Dr. Hansen is definitely the BEST chiropractor I have seen! He is a Palmer graduate from Davenport, Iowa – a little something I have always found common in the best chiropractors I have been to. I went to him for low back pain and he rocked it and helped me a ton with my back pain! Since then I have seen him for neck pain, wrist pain, tennis elbow, hip pain, knee pain...you name it! His chiropractic adjustments were just right (if you’ve been to a chiropractor before you will know what I mean; if you haven’t let’s just say some chiropractors can’t adjust very well, some are better than others and Dr. H is on the awesome end). He also does chiropractic extremity adjustments which also helped a lot.He also took time to do stretches with me and show me if I needed to make any corrections on the way I was doing them to get the most benefit. He does an awesome soft tissue technique called Graston. It took about 5-7 sessions, but let me tell you - I haven’t experienced anything like it. It’s like a really deep tissue massage except the results have lasted! (I paid cash for Graston because my insurance didn’t cover it, but I would not hesitate to do it again.) Graston combined with the physical therapy and the chiropractic spinal manipulation – WOW! If you are looking for a Top Notch Chiropractor in Fort Lauderdale, look no further!

I found Dr. Hansen shortly after I moved to Ft. Lauderdale. I was searching for a chiropractor to treat my neck pain and headaches. Getting an appointment was smooth and his office took care of all the insurance. I have been to other chiropractors but what made him different is the time he spent with me to understand my pain and the time he spent taking care of it. He used gentle chiropractic adjustments and also did muscle work to help stop the spasms I was having. I was very happy with my treatment in his Ft. Lauderdale Chiropractic Office. I returned to his office after I started to have shooting pain down my shoulder into my arm. He suspected it may have been caused by a herniated disc so he did another exam. He recommended I do a few chiropractic treatments and see how I respond this time. He changed way he did spinal manipulation in my neck while also doing certain stretches in my neck and shoulders. I again got excellent results. If you need a chiropractor in Fort Lauderdale for neck pain, headaches or herniated disc treatment, I strongly recommend you call Dr. Hansen! He is an excellent chiropractor!

I saw Dr. Hansen for sciatica and low back pain that I had been experiencing. My husband had excellent results with him and insisted I see his chiropractor to see if he could help me get relief. When I got in to see him he stated off by taking a history of my complaint and then did a very thorough examination. The first day he started using a soft tissue technique that is like a really deep massage. I could definitely feel what he was working on. It was slightly painful, but the good kind of pain if you know what I mean. On my next visit he explained everything to me from the examination and we began treatment. He uses spinal manipulation and also helps do stretches that give even more relief. He is a hands-on physician that really wants his patients to get better. We continued treatment over the course of a month or so and each time I got progressively better. The results were lasting and I am able to make appointments any time I feel a flare-up, which really has not been many. He did an excellent job in my treatment and if you need a Fort Lauderdale Chiropractor, I definitely recommend Dr. Hansen.
