Hanson Chiropractic and Injury

As a former employee of Hanson Chiropractic in Everett, WA, I felt it was my duty to publicly inform all potential new patients of Dr. Peter Hanson's business practices.\r \r First and foremost, please do not consider other reviews as the truth about the care he provides. I can tell you with 100% accuracy that he has employees write reviews on many different websites including citysearch and google to make his practice seem more successful than it actually is. I myself have written many false reviews for him under his instruction for the express purpose of misleading potential new patients. I am disappointed in myself for letting such a thing happen.\r \r He hired me as a permanant employee and then fired me for no reason after only 9 weeks. He couldn't even give me a reason why I was being let go as he was doing it! Just to add insult to injury, he waited until Valentine's Day after my loving boyfriend (a patient that I had referred to his office at that time) brought me a dozen red roses for our first Valentine's Day together. Of course, my boyfriend has since completely stopped his care with Dr. Hanson based on his lack of ethics and morals alone.\r \r After I filed for unemployment benefits, Dr. Peter Hanson then went on to lie to Employment Security, telling them that I was hired on a 90-day trial basis. No such thing was ever disclosed to me and this is just another piece of evidence that this man and his practice are completely unethical. What a disgusting display of terrible business practice. What a crook!\r \r If you think that the way a doctor runs his practice and treats his staff is important and you don't want to fund a crooked practice, HANSON CHIROPRACTIC IN EVERETT, WA IS NOT FOR YOU! more

My name is Matt I’m 26 years old and had a back injury in 2007 from work. I went to different chiropractors before also tried other treatments as well. I found Hanson Chiropractic because my girlfriend got a job working there. When I first went there I was very optimistic about them being able to help me out because nothing in the past seemed to work for me. When I first met Dr. Hanson he examined me and said I may have a shorter leg which is causing sheering in my back where the pain was they took my x-rays and that’s what it was my posture was miss aligned for so many years. I have been going there for 5 months now and already I can tell my back pain is not as bad as it once was. Dr. Hanson and all the other Drs really explain what’s going on and how they are fixing it, all in all if your are having pain and have tried other treatments that have not worked check out Hanson Chiropractic It worked for me thank you very much. more

i've seen chiropractors for over 25 years. Over that time I have had severe lower back pain atleast once a month. The chiropractors that I have seen all told me it would be that way for the rest of my life. Well they were wrong. After going through the ""fix it"" program with Dr. Hanson and Dr. Woodbury, I am happy to say I have not had lower back pain in over 10 months now. Also as a little side benefit my Blood-pressure is down 10 points. I highly recommend Hanson Chiropractic to anyone looking for a chiropractor. Pros: Professional,knowlegable,Caring,Friendly more

After years of suffering with sciatic pain in my feet, legs, and buttocks, I now have no sciatic pain. I could not stand, sit, or lie down without pain, but after going through fix care with Dr. Hanson I have the relief I was only dreaming about. Previously I went to another chiropractor who told me that I had to change my profession ( a finish carpenter) to obtain relief from my pain. Dr. Hanson works with me the way I am, not asking me to change my life but just wanting to make it better. more

Hanson Chiropractic provided a total, positive life-changing environment for my physical (and mental) health. When I first went to Dr. Hanson and his associates, I was in allot of pain. My shoulders and hips and lower back were giving me such pain that I could not jog or run anymore...I could not even throw a baseball to my son anymore. The physical degradation of my body after 25 years of occupational stressors took its toll, I thought, and I was at a point where I believed although I was in my mid-forties, I would have to suffer ailments gathered through life, like a 70-year old. Before I went to Hanson Chiropratic, I was prescribed Celebrex in large dosages, and my quality of life was either living with pain all of the time, or taking pain medication that numbed everything away, (which, in the long term, is bad for the liver and other organs). I was given x-rays and explanations of my physical status by Dr. Hanson, in a way that any layman could understand. I went through the suggested program, and my life has now changed forever. Sure - I still have a little pain every once in a great while - but it is nothing compared to what I was living through before. In a word, I am 90% better, which is a tremendous improvement! I am able to exercise now, which is very important to me. I am able to throw the ball around with my kid. These are all things I didn?t believe were possible anymore. I am very grateful for the positive, caring nature of this clinic, and for their care, concern, and friendship. Dr. Hanson, Dr. Woodbury, Dr. Comendatore, and all of the staff are very helpful and kind. They made the process as easy as possible, and were very cordial, pleasant, and positive. Going to Hanson Chiropractic was perhaps the best decision I made in 25 years. Thank you, Hanson Chiropractic! Pros: Results! Very caring, concerned, very pleasant and positive atmosphere. more

My son Stage was 6 months old when we first saw Dr. Hanson. At the time his health was extremely poor. He was born having severe seizures and the 3 highly toxic anti seizure medications he was on were doing nothing to control his seizures. He at this point was still having up to 12 seizures per day. His body was so weak that he could barely open his eyes and ambulance rides and ER visits were not an uncommon event in our lives. As a mother I really felt without hope. The days spent with my son were full of silence with the exception of the horrible screaming of his seizures. When I met Dr. Hanson his demeanor was quite sincere and thorough. He noticed right away that my son's neck was shifted. After the first few adjustments I really noticed a reduction in my sons seizures. He actually went a day without a seizure a couple of weeks later. Dr. Hanson and his team at Hanson chiropractic really made me feel welcome during what was one of the lowest times in my life. The Dr.'s took the time to educate me about how neurologic function works and effects of the medication my son was taking. Their time and energy they invested really helped me to use my own judgement as a parent and ultimately I made the choice to wing my son off of his medications. Stage is now two years old and has not had a seizure since Christmas Eve of 2008. Stage has still not been diagnosed and will face many challenges through his life, but I know that he will still continue to receive top of the line care from Hanson Chiropractic. I am happy to say that Stage is now able to hold his head up, smiles, laughs and makes babbling sounds and even is eating some food by mouth. Thank you so much Dr. Hanson and Dr. Commendatore I feel greatful to have you be part of Stage's medical team! Pros: Quick, efficient and thourough care and everyone is friendly and sincere more

I have had scoliosis since I was a small child. I remember always having some sort of back pain. Surgery was not an option for me, so I had to live with the pain for several years. About 8 years ago, I started getting treated by chiropractors. All three that I went to claimed that they could fix my spine, but none of them were able too. It was not until I started getting treated by Dr. Hanson, and especially doing traction, that I experienced any pain relief. I have completed their fix care program and my scoliosis is now completely gone!!! Thank you, Hanson Chiropractic more

I was in 2 bad car accidents within 6 months and I had severe back pain and headaches. I was going to Physical Therapy three days a week for 3 months but I did not seem to be getting much better. I finally starting getting massage at Hanson Chiropractic and the therapist introduced me to Dr Hanson. He seemed to really understand exactly what I was going through and told me that he could help me feel better. He did an exam and took some xrays. The next day I went back and he reviewed my xrays and told me exactly what the problem was. I thought I would just have to deal with my pain forever, but after my first adjustment I got so much relief. I was so excited to finally feel better. Dr Hanson told me his office is different because they have traction, and the traction can actually put my spine back to where it should be. I guess kinda like braces eventually over a little bit of time things start to move back to where its supposed to be. I did not understand at first but I trusted him because he really seemed to know what he was talking about. After about 2 weeks or so I could really feel the difference from the traction and adjustments. They also gave me some exercises to do at home but not like the exercises you do at a gym, he calls them posture exercises. He said that if I do them they will reinforce the traction that I do and help sustain my changes. I have always had bad posture so I was excited for these posture exercises. I knew for sure it all worked because they took xrays again after 9 weeks and showed me both xrays of before and after and you could see how much my neck had moved. I have never seen anything like this before. The doctors and the staff are always so nice to me and I felt like they really cared about me. Now my whole family goes there!! more
