Meet Your Chiropractors

JZ Benson, DC

Chiropractor

Dr. JZ Benson worked for a contractor in high school who specialized in remodeling homes and thought he’d follow that career path. At the age of 16, he fell 12 feet and landed on a 2×4, severely injuring his spine.

For six months, he went from doctor to doctor, wearing a corset-like back brace and being heavily medicated. He was told surgery was his only choice, but a friend helped him find another solution—chiropractic care.

This inspired him to become a chiropractor and help others experience healing as he had.

What Our Patients Say

Donna W.

“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 in the ER and explained the situation. Took my husband straight to his office from the ER. He could not walk, sit up, and was laid out in the back seat of my truck. Dr. Benson came out to my truck and helped me 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, he was walking without them! My husband was back at work 4 days later after figuring out he had a pinched nerve and two more visits. I would highly recommend Dr. Benson and his entire staff to anyone looking for a chiropractor who really cares about his patients.”

Rachel R.

“I have been a client for years. It’s been a while since my last visit because DR. Benson fixed my issues. Just left an appointment and walked out feeling so much better than when I walked in. Thank you again. Friendly and professional staff that’s always so welcoming and helpful!”

Jessica A.

“I used to have my doubts and fears about chiropractors. Dr. Benson cleared all those on day one. The following day, I felt more agile, and I could better tolerate my pain. Thank you, team!”
