Chiropractic Care in Bay City for Natural Pain Relief

What Is Chiropractic Care?

Chiropractic care is a natural method of healing and improving neuromusculoskeletal health. Manual spine adjustments fine-tune the nerves in the central nervous system, improving the brain-body connection and enhancing overall health.

Chiropractors use their hands and other adjustment tools to align the spine. By doing so, they help patients improve posture, loosen up spinal joints, and relieve pain caused by pinched nerves or herniated discs.

Licensed chiropractors are the only ones who can do chiropractic care for natural pain relief in Bay City. At Renew Spine & Rehab, we have an experienced practitioner ready for you.

Better mobility

Adjustments release nerve tension, reducing muscle and joint stiffness, allowing you to move more freely.

Reduced pain and inflammation

Chiropractic care relieves pressure on your vertebrae, which leads to relief and recovery of your nervous system.

Improved posture

Manipulating the spine helps loosen it up and allows your back, hips, and neck to return to optimal form.

Less reliance on medication

People can reduce or even forego medication after chiropractic treatments relieve musculoskeletal pain.

Immune function

Chiropractic treatment removes nerve obstructions, allowing your brain and body to communicate immune responses effectively.

Stress relief and better sleep

After a chiropractic session, your body will feel less pain and more flexible, which gives a relaxing effect.

What Our Patients Say

Everyone is kind, knowledgeable, caring, and understanding. I am not an easy case. I have been in chiropractic care since I was 13. I was having headaches, and my mom took me to the dentist and eye doctor, tried everything, and we ended up with the chiropractor. Years later, I learned my hips were uneven, and the s curve in my spine was not there, not scoliosis, but not the way it should be. I also have TMD, which is called TMJ. Dr. Benson is treating all this and my new arthritis problems that affected my entire left leg and took the strength from my thigh muscle. My body is writhing in pain. However, he and his team are working to calm the pain and heal my body- the best part is that my insurance covers it.

Dr. Benson is absolutely the best! I took my husband to the ER in severe pain in his lower back. He could not move. They pumped him full of pain medication and sent him on his way, saying they could not help him. I called Dr. Benson's office while in the ER and explained the situation. I took my husband straight to his office from the ER; he could not walk, could not sit up, and was laid out in the back seat of my truck. Dr. Benson came out to my truck and helped to get him out of the truck and into one of the rooms. After working on him for about 45 minutes, he could walk out with the help of crutches and the next day was walking without them! My husband was back at work 4 days later after figuring out he had a pinched nerve and 2 more visits. I would highly recommend Dr. Benson and his entire staff to anyone that is looking for a chiropractor that really does care about his patients.

I had a hip replacement last year. I have been limping lately and quite frankly feeling crooked and having back spasms. Dr Benson and staff worked wonders the first day with massage, electric stim and spinal adjustment. The limp was less pronounced and my back pain was significantly lessened when I left. I know this is a work in progress but I feel we are on the right path forward.
