CHIROPRACTOR & FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE PRACTITIONER
Dr. Mike Hanson
I grew up in Eau Claire, WI and with chiropractic care thanks to my grandfather. He encouraged my parents to have us kids adjusted for our health. I discovered my passion for chiropractic from my childhood chiropractor while I was a senior in undergrad at the University of Wisconsin – Eau Claire. As I was contemplating medical schools, I shadowed him and realized how I could help the body heal from the inside out! This led me to Northwestern Health Sciences University for chiropractic school, and I’ve never looked back. Essential Health combines my 16 years of experience, the latest technology and techniques in chiropractic care with functional nutrition to support you on your unique healing journey.
Our family has called Sioux Falls home for 7 years now, and we are proud South Dakotans! We love the family culture, numerous parks, outdoors and strong community values! When I’m not in the office, you can find me with my wife, Dayna, and our three children, Ariya, Teyah and Emryk. I enjoy wood working, gardening and canning, hunting, and spending time at the lake. Come, join our family today and experience the health change you’ve been looking for!

OFFICE MANAGER
Dayna Hanson
Hi, I’m Dayna, the Operations Manager at Essential Health! I am passionate about educating others on low-tox living and guiding them toward a healthier, more balanced lifestyle.
Originally from Southwest Minnesota, I earned my Business Management degree from St. Cloud Technical and Community College. My journey then took me to Dallas, Texas, where I became a licensed Massage Therapist. While living in Texas, I embraced the importance of fueling my body with organic, nutrient-dense whole foods to support my active lifestyle and daily workouts. This realization sparked my belief that true health comes from within, and I began prioritizing what I put in, on, and around my body. I became dedicated to reading labels, choosing low-tox personal care and household products, and avoiding harmful endocrine disruptors and carcinogens.
After experiencing two miscarriages, I faced significant health challenges, including chronic fatigue and diminished energy. My journey with functional medicine began with lab testing, revealing chronic adrenal fatigue, low hormone levels, and a sluggish liver. Years of chronic stress had pushed my body into survival mode, highlighting the critical role of stress management and self-care in achieving optimal health.
This experience deepened my understanding of the body’s incredible ability to heal itself when provided with the right environment and freed from interference. I am passionate about helping others discover the transformative power of integrated health and low-tox living, empowering them to unlock their full potential.
