People
Dr. Kirk Hansen
Dr. Hansen graduated from Palmer College in 1975 and has been practicing in Washington State since 1976. That means he has been helping patients recover from pain and restore function for five decades through changes in technology, insurance systems, clinical research, and the healthcare landscape as a whole.
What has not changed in all that time is his standard of care.
Every patient receives a thorough one-on-one examination before any treatment begins. Every diagnosis is based on clinical evidence, not assumptions. Every treatment plan is built around what the patient's condition actually requires not what generates the most revenue or the most return visits.
After treating thousands of patients across 50 years, Dr. Hansen has seen a remarkable range of conditions and cases. That breadth of experience means he is rarely surprised, often recognizes patterns that others miss, and brings a calm, grounded perspective to even the most complex or discouraging situations.

Have been going here for a couple years now and it has been great. Dr. Hansen and his wife Diana, are very helpful and personable. They really tend to the issues I have with my body and I continue to be amazed with the outcome after each visit. Also, very helpful with documentation and info needed for work and with the VA.

They are both genuine, compassionate, and clearly committed to helping their patients feel their best. You can tell they truly care, and they consistently deliver outstanding service.

I made an appointment with Dr. Hansen for acute upper back and neck pain. He was able to get me in as a new patient right away. Diana was so kind checking me in and helping with the paperwork. Dr. Hansen took the time to explain the process and examined the problem. He adjusted me at the first appointment and I had immediate relief. There is no pressure to make follow on appointments that you may not need. Really great experience!!

I had a sports injury to my spine. I couldnt feel my back to stand up alone. Kirk told me he would get me up and able to dance at my wedding and he produced the results. Ive continued to see him for any stiffness for all parts of my body since 2012. Him and his wife are angels and Im so happy to have met them. I would recommend his chiropractic services to everyone.

I was recommended by the VA to Dr. Kirk Hansens office, and Im happy I was! Diana Hansen has been super helpful with setting up appointments, and working with the VA. Dr. Hansen has been very thorough with asking questions, and insuring he can assist me in the best possible way. I always feel better after leaving the office! They are both incredibly kind as well. I would definitely recommend going to them!

I have been going to Dr. Hansen for over ten years. Both Dr. Hansen and his wife are amazing and some of the nicest people you will ever meet. From when you call and Diana answered and helps you find an appointment that works for your crazy schedule, to your adjustment by Dr. Hansen. They help me with my everyday adjustments but also, the weird adjustments when I fall down and hurt an ankle or by tail bone. I recommend all my friends who are in need of chiropractic care to Dr. Hansen.

Ive been seeing Dr. Kirk Hansen and his wife Diana for a little over a year now and I never imagined Id have such a close bond with a chiropractic clinic. Dr. Hansen and Mrs. Hansen take their time getting to know you, your condition, and your pain levels to properly adjust you. I go once a week and feel so refreshed after every appointment! On top of that theyve treated me like family from my very first appointment and have gotten to know my wife and son.

LOVE seeing Dr. Kirk Hansen and his wife, Diana, at their chiropractic practice in Lacey, WA. What separates Dr. Hansen from other chiropractors I've seen over the span of 40 years for my specific medical needs are three (3) differentiators:
1. His client focus on my immediate and chronic medical needs
2. His time dedicated to learn about me in life and business valuing me holistically
3. Experience that brings results in pain relief that surpasses the average or mediocre, which brings me back time and time again!
I highly recommend you experience Dr. Kirk Hansen's treatments first-hand. You will not be disappointed!

I was referred to Dr. Hansen by my medical doctor due to neck, lower back pain, and more. Dr. Hansen and his wife Diana manage their business in a way that makes me feel safe and well cared for. I appreciate how they use heat before adjustments which has always been more effective for me. I've been a patient for several years now off and on as needed and I'm super grateful that when I first got the referral it was to this office where care is so on point and managed by such great people.

Dr. Hansen is fantastic. After my first visit my ability to turn my head in either direction went from 15 degrees to 90 degrees. I can also sleep comfortably because of his ministrations to my lower back. His diagnosis of my back and neck was instrumental in increasing my VA disability from 10% to 70%

I have been to many chiropractors in my life and never have I experienced such a warm welcome like Dr. Hansens office. He and his wife, Diana, take you in and treat you like family. Dr. Hansen has had his practice for decades now and with that comes wisdom that is much needed in this industry. He and his wonderful wife both go out of their way to ensure your needs are met. Every now and then I have to bring my kids with me and they both are very inclusive with them during my visit and make a wonderful experience for them as well. 10 out of 10 would recommend!

If you are looking for a chiropractor, please visit Dr. Kirk Hansen. He has been my chiropractor for many years. Dr. Hansen has helped me through many aches and pains, some worse than others but each needing professional help. He listens, then helps. I am so thankful! Also, what I have appreciated is I schedule an appointment when I need help and a follow up if I need more help. Dr. Hansen doesn't suggest that I come back for a few more visits, just in case. If I feel I need additional care, I call and make another appointment. Helping me heal is Dr. Hansen's goal and the goal of Diana, his wife, who manages the office. An amazing team!

I have had nothing but positive experiences in this office. Very welcoming, kind and pleasant people. Listens to concerns and complaints of where I'm hurting and makes sure to adjust those areas. I have bulging disks and I can hobble into his office and walk out feeling a instant relief. When ever I have a flare up they make time to see me. I have referred many friends and family members to his office. I have had to bring my children into appointments with me and they make them feel welcomed. I highly recommend this office for your adjustmentneeds I have seen a few different chiropractors over the last 2 years but I have found my preferred provider here.
