Back Pain Relief with Dr. Kirk Hansen
Chiropractor in Lacey, WA

Living with back pain can be exhausting. Simple tasks like getting out of bed, sitting at your desk, or even playing with your kids can become frustrating challenges. For many people, back pain not only causes physical discomfort but also affects sleep, mood, and overall quality of life. If you’re dealing with this daily struggle, you’re not alone—and there is help available.

​

At our clinic in Lacey, WA, chiropractor Dr. Kirk Hansen takes a patient-centered approach to back pain relief. With advanced training in chiropractic orthopedics, he combines thorough examinations, careful diagnosis, and gentle chiropractic adjustments to address the root cause of your pain, not just the symptoms.

​

Understanding Back Pain

​

Back pain can develop for many reasons, including:

​

  • Muscle strain or tension

  • Poor posture

  • Herniated or bulging discs

  • Degenerative disc disease

  • Arthritis

  • Work injuries (L&I claims)

  • Auto accident injuries (such as whiplash or trauma to the spine)

  • Sports injuries

 

Regardless of the cause, living with back pain is not something you should just “tough out.” Getting the right care can help restore function, reduce pain, and prevent the problem from getting worse.

​

How Dr. Hansen Can Help

​

When you visit Dr. Hansen, you can expect a thorough exam before any treatment begins. He takes the time to listen to your concerns, review your history, and carefully evaluate your spine and surrounding muscles. From there, he creates a custom care plan that may include:

​

  • Gentle chiropractic adjustments to restore proper alignment

  • Targeted treatment of joints and extremities if related to your back pain

  • Recommendations for at-home stretches and exercises to support your recovery

  • Ongoing evaluation to track progress and make adjustments as needed

 

Dr. Hansen believes in a “catch and release” approach to chiropractic. That means you’ll only receive care for as long as you need it, whether that’s one visit, occasional adjustments, or a more regular plan. You’re always in control of your treatment.
