Chiropractor Pleads Guilty to Secretly Recording Patients

LAGRANGE, IL, September 04, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Dr. David Hanson, a chiropractor in Kane County, has pleaded guilty to secretly recording undressed patients in treatment rooms and has agreed to a 70-year prison term. The legal battle, however, is far from over as Dixon Law Office, founded by G. Grant Dixon III, is expanding the case to hold Hanson’s corporate entities, insurers, and third-party enablers civilly accountable.

Hanson, who operated a prominent chiropractic practice alongside at least three associated corporate entities, has faced severe consequences for his actions. According to Dixon, while the guilty plea ensures substantial prison time for Hanson, the broader enterprise that allowed such abuse to occur must now face civil justice.

"Securing a 70-year prison term is a critical step, but it does not fully address the harm done to these victims," Dixon emphasized. "Dr. Hanson exploited a position of medical trust to commit egregious violations. Financial compensation is essential to help these victims recover from the trauma inflicted upon them."

Dixon Law Office has initiated legal actions against Hanson’s corporate entities and their commercial liability carriers, ensuring they do not evade responsibility. The firm asserts that Hanson's conduct during patient care constituted clear malpractice, and his insurers must honor their coverage obligations.

"Our medical experts confirm that Dr. Hanson's actions were a clear case of malpractice," Dixon stated. "We are also investigating individuals who aided or enabled Hanson's crimes. Anyone who facilitated, aided, or turned a blind eye to these crimes will be held accountable."

Dixon Law Office is urging any former patients of Hanson, the Hanson Chiropractic Office, or its affiliated companies to come forward to protect their legal rights. Confidential consultations are available, and victims or individuals with information are encouraged to contact the firm at 708-354-9880 or visit www.AttorneysMakingItRight.com.
