Chris Hanson
Professional interests:
I enjoy working with all types of patients, especially those suffering from headaches/migraines, auto/workplace injuries and care of soft tissue injuries such as sprains/strains.
Practice philosophy:
I believe that the fundamental job of a chiropractor is to help normalize the function of a patient’s spine and body. My job as a chiropractor is to identify regions of the body that are not performing properly, address those regions and help guide you with home care to continue healing after an appointment. I aim to work alongside patients as a partner in their health. I approach patient care with transparency and direct communication.
What patients say about me:
Patients often remark on my friendliness, humility and general positive attitude. I often say, “I take my work seriously, I just don’t take myself seriously.” I attempt to strike a balance between professionalism and a relaxed, open communication style. I make it my goal for patients to feel very comfortable in my presence. I believe open and clear communication is vital in a doctor patient relationship.
On a personal note:
I love music, dancing, sharing time with family/friends and my dog Nala. Over the last few years I have maintained a volunteer relationship with a local nursing home to sing and play guitar for the residents. It’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made in my adult life. Healing can take many forms and I certainly find healing in music. Having the opportunity to share that joy of music with others is meaningful beyond words.
