Services
Applied Kinesiology
Applied Kinesiology uses manual muscle testing to diagnose and correct nerve, muscle, and joint imbalances. By identifying reflex spasms and muscle weaknesses, this technique restores proper biomechanics and supports long-term healing. Patients benefit from targeted adjustments that address root causes of pain and dysfunction.
CranioSacral Therapy
CranioSacral Therapy gently corrects misalignments in the skull bones to improve cerebrospinal fluid circulation. This reduces headaches, TMJ pain, and neurological symptoms while promoting deep relaxation. The technique integrates osteopathic and chiropractic methods for lasting cranial system health.
Flexion Distraction
Flexion Distraction uses a specialized table to decompress spinal discs and joints. This non-invasive technique alleviates low back pain, herniated discs, and nerve compression by restoring proper spinal mechanics through controlled, gentle stretching.
Diversified Adjusting
Diversified Adjusting combines traditional and advanced manual techniques to correct spinal subluxations. By tailoring adjustments to each patients anatomy, this method restores joint mobility, reduces inflammation, and enhances nervous system function for improved overall health.
TMJ Treatment
TMJ Treatment addresses jaw pain and dysfunction through cranial and spinal adjustments. By realigning the temporomandibular joint and associated muscles, this therapy resolves clicking, stiffness, and chronic pain, enabling comfortable eating and jaw movement.

Questions
What is a subluxation?
A subluxation is abnormal spinal motion that disrupts nerve function. Correcting it through manual adjustments restores proper communication between the brain and body.
Is chiropractic care safe?
Yes. Chiropractic adjustments are non-invasive and drug-free. Dr. Benson uses gentle, precise techniques tailored to each patient's comfort and health needs.
Do I need X-rays for treatment?
X-rays are only taken if clinically indicated. Dr. Benson conducts a thorough exam first to determine if imaging is necessary for your specific condition.
Can chiropractic help TMJ issues?
Yes. Cranial adjustments and muscle balancing effectively resolve TMJ pain, clicking, and limited jaw movement by realigning the jaw and associated structures.
How many sessions will I need?
Most patients feel significant improvement within two weeks of care. Chronic cases may require longer treatment plans tailored to individual healing progress.
Does insurance cover chiropractic care?
