Personal Injury Rehabilitation in El Campo: Safe Recovery

Why Personal Injury Rehabilitation Matters

Any untreated injury disrupts your way of life. It affects how you show up in the world and to the people you care about. Treatment and rehab play a vital role in helping you return to a normal life quickly. Other reasons are:

Delays can worsen injuries: Putting off treatment exposes your injuries to more risk, which can lead to chronic pain and mobility issues.
Rehab relieves pain: If you’re experiencing pain as part of your injury, rehabilitation helps reduce the pain, encouraging your body to recover quickly.
Treating unknown issues: Consulting a professional will help detect and treat issues that didn’t appear before, such as whiplash, muscle, or soft tissue damage.

Meet Your Chiropractor

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 like he had.

Frequently Asked Questions

You should start as soon as possible. Getting treatment and rehabilitation early helps you recover from your injuries faster because they are still new. If you put it off, you’ll expose your injuries to risks that can make it worse.

Definitely! Chiropractors train for years to practice spine and joint manipulation before they’re professionally licensed. They know how to treat you safely and effectively.

It depends on your injuries. If you want an accurate timeframe, consult with a chiropractor. Given your unique condition, they will know how many recovery sessions you take.

It depends on the severity of the injury. We understand that working and going about the normal course of your life is very important, but as a general rule, we recommend that you take it easy and don’t exert yourself too much while in treatment.

Most providers cover a wide range of personal injury conditions, but it’s best to coordinate with your insurance provider to find out if they cover the injuries you sustained.

What Our Patients Say

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.

Donna W.

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!

Rachel R.

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!
