Torticollis Success Stories
Torticollis, Irregular Bowel Movements
Millie had started care with concerns torticollis, irregular bowel movements causing discomfort, and problems with reflux. Since coming to Dr Dave, Millie has fewer spit ups, constipation is a thing of the past, and more motion and control in her neck – which has resulted in Millie enjoying tummy time! As an extra bonus, Milles’s sleep has been 10X better than before and she is able to handle sickness a lot easier!
Care Is Catered to What You Need
My Daughter Austin was about 4 weeks when I noticed she preferred looking to one side over the other. After some research I learned this was not normal and I knew since she had had a traumatic birth (3 days of labor & drugs), I decided to look into chiropractic care for infants. We started coming to see Dr. Dave about 8 weeks and noticed a significant improvement in her neck mobility, eating habits, and sleep. She is 3 months now and is continuing to improve- she is a much happier baby! Austin is able to move her head from left to right whereas before she was looking left and I had to move her head to look right and she would fight it. She also has less reflux when eating, she’s much more tolerable of tummy time now that her neck mobility has improved and is generally a chill, happy baby. I love the care we have received. Natasha and Megan are always so helpful and welcoming and we love coming to see them. Dr. Dave listens and addresses any questions I have and cares about the well-being of my kid and I very much appreciate that. I would highly recommend Hanson Family Chiropractic for you family’s musculoskeletal needs, from youngest to oldest, the care is catered to what you need. Once I go back to work, I will probably start getting adjustments for myself too.

No More Torticollis
Our little Claire Bear is a very happy baby, but struggled with severe torticollis, back arching, low core, and occasional stomach issues. This made it difficult for her to sit up on her own and was contributing to some flatness on the back of her head. She had a pretty intense entrance into this world and spent the majority of her last month in the womb sitting quite low, causing stress on her neck. We tried doing stretches on our own with her, but nothing was helping with her inability to turn her head to the left. She was also a chronic catnapper, never fully comfortable enough to get great rest.
Chiropractic care has completely changed Claire’s sleeping habits and she can now turn her head like a tiny owl! She is taking two naps a day like a champ, and sleeping through the night. She is also sitting up, and on the move with crawling! Her chronic congestion has also slowed down a bit!
We chose Dr. Dave and Hanson Family Chiropractic because we had such great results with our other daughter, Gracie. We knew that doing this would be the best move for Claire as well, and we (and she!) couldn’t be happier. It’s been wonderful to see the staff at Hanson again, as they are always so kind, caring, and knowledgeable. We feel totally comfortable and reassured that both our girls have been in great hands with Dr. Dave and his practice. If you are feeling hesitant about chiropractic care, don’t. Go see Hanson Family Chiropractic sooner rather than later, you won’t regret it!

Extremely Welcoming
“It was determined that Hannah had a gross motor delay when she was 6 months old. She was late to roll over, bear weight, and is still working on crawling. She began P.T. at 6 months, and her therapist mentioned possible Torticollis as well. Aside from the poor muscle tone and stiff neck, Hannah suffered from bouts of severe constipation and restlessness. She did not sleep more than 4 hours at a time until she was 6 months old.
Recently, Hannah has graduated to solid foods and is much happier. She no longer has GI issues and is able to sleep longer. Her physical therapist has also noticed the muscles in her neck are more relaxed.
Dr. Hopper was extremely welcoming and showed such concern from our first visit on. Hannah is often afraid of strangers, but after our first month, he is able to adjust her without any tears. The entire office is warm, friendly, and understanding.
