Essential Health Sioux Falls New Patient Special

Meet Dr. Mike Hanson

Doctor Mike Hanson and family

Welcome to Essential Health, I’m Dr. Mike! We specialize in finding the root cause of your health concerns by evaluating the function of the nervous system.

When your brain slowly loses communication with the body over time, your health declines with it, resulting in pain, dysfunction and dis-ease.

Using the latest technology in thermography, surface electromyography (sEMG), heart rate variability (HRV) and digital x-ray, we are able to locate these subtle miscommunications. Gentle, yet specific adjustments restore proper nerve communication allowing the body to heal on its own!

My passion comes from seeing how amazing the body heals when given the proper resources and enough time.

Schedule your initial consultation TODAY to see how much healing your body can do! (Yes, if you’re still breathing, there IS still hope and you CAN still heal!)

What is Functional Medicine?

Functional medicine is an approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of illness rather than simply treating symptoms.

At Essential Health, we believe that every patient’s health journey is unique and requires a personalized treatment plan. By understanding the intricate connections between the body’s systems, we aim to uncover and resolve the underlying issues that contribute to chronic conditions and general health concerns.

Unlike conventional medicine, which often uses a one-size-fits-all approach, functional medicine emphasizes patient-centered care. This means we take the time to listen to your story, understand your medical history, lifestyle, and environmental factors, and use advanced diagnostic tools to create a comprehensive plan tailored specifically to you.

Our goal is not just to manage symptoms but to promote optimal wellness and empower you with the knowledge and tools you need to maintain lasting health. Whether you’re facing chronic pain, digestive problems, hormonal imbalances, or fatigue, functional medicine provides a path to discovering why these issues occur and how they can be effectively addressed.

At Essential Health, we combine the principles of functional medicine with our expertise in chiropractic care to offer an integrative and holistic approach that supports your body’s natural healing process. Your well-being is our top priority, and we are dedicated to helping you achieve a healthier, more vibrant life.
