Face coverings are now required in the waiting room. New studies suggest that even vaccinated people may spread the Delta variant or become ill and should wear face covering indoors. Our waiting room air is HEPA filtered to high standards and diluted with marine air when practical, but Dr. Benson has no way to independently verify vaccination or infection status.
Superior ventilation in the treatment rooms allows removing your mask for treatment. Dr. Benson wears his mask when face to face. Sanitation, ventilation and hand washing protocols create a very low risk of contracting or transmitting the virus when you come to the office. If you have any symptoms that may be related to the virus, DO NOT come to the office- call to reschedule.

Your Visit
Report
Your first visit will take about one hour. I'll ask you to give me your insurance and identifying information, to read and sign our office policies so everything is clear up front, to agree to binding arbitration, and to fill out a comprehensive health questionnaire. Sounds far more daunting than it actually is- I've streamlined everything down to four short pages of essentials.
Taking Care of Yourself
Report
When you are first adjusted, your body is in a new relationship with itself, and with gravity. All the time the problem has been building up, your body was in an unhealthy pattern. Some ligaments have shortened or lengthened inappropriately, and some muscles are in habitual spasm. It takes time and healing to create a new pattern that will be healthier for the rest of your life.
Chiropractic Techniques
Report
Applied Kinesiology (AK) is a technique within chiropractic which uses manual muscle testing to help diagnose and treat nerve, muscle and joint problems. The term kinesiology means the study of the mechanics of body movements, and Applied Kinesiology helps detect problems and correct those body mechanics.
CranioSacral Therapy
Report
CranioSacral Therapy is a trademarked approach to cranial work taught by the Upledger Institute. Dr. Benson has taken a full range of courses in this approach, studying directly with John Upledger, DO, originator of the technique. I have combined that technique with chiropractic cranial techniques called Sacro Occipital Technique (SOT) and osteopathic cranial adjusting.
Flexion Distraction
Report
Flexion distraction or Cox technique uses a specially designed table which allows me to produce a decompression of the disks and joints of the lower back. The technique was developed to correct acute ruptured disks, where the 'jelly' in the middle of the disk protrudes to the side and presses on a spinal nerve.
