Manual Therapy

We employ several therapies to treat post-surgery limitations. These include chiropractic treatments, soft tissue therapy, and joint mobilization to maximize your body’s healing.

Soft Tissue Mobilization

Using cupping methods and scraping tools, we break up stiff tissues and soften tight muscle spots to relieve pain and enhance flexibility.

Joint Mobilizations

We use traction and gliding techniques to relieve pressure from the joints, effectively treating pain and stiffness so you can achieve full range of motion.

Suitable for athletes and those who live active lifestyles, we design a treatment plan to help the body quickly recover from injury and improve athletic performance.

Postural Education and Ergonomic Training

Electrical Stimulation

This treatment uses electrical pulses to stimulate painful areas around the body. It is a safe, noninvasive modality in boosting muscle recovery.

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 himself. 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.

A friend encouraged him to visit her chiropractor. He had never been to a chiropractor, but they had tried everything else and decided to give it a try.

After the first visit, he felt like he could breathe again. After six months of pain and not being able to do anything physical, he was able to stand up straight and bend over. Within two weeks of chiropractic care, he was back to running track again—with his fastest times ever.

That experience changed his life, and he decided to pursue a career in chiropractic to help others the way he was helped.

He attended Texas Chiropractic College in Pasadena, TX, where he played on the school’s softball team. Luckily, when he dislocated his shoulder sliding into third base, he immediately received chiropractic care and was able to get back in the game.

Dr. Benson and his wife, Vicki, have two boys, both of whom are practicing chiropractors.

When he’s not seeing patients, Dr. Benson looks after his own fitness. He works out, runs, and likes challenging himself at the gym. He enjoys playing with his dogs and traveling and hopes to find more time for surfing and golf.

Frequently Asked Questions

Physical rehabilitation is a recovery method that helps people restore body functions they lost due to an injury or medical conditions, such as stroke or arthritis.

Since we are dealing with recovering your body's function, you may experience a little discomfort or soreness right after a session, which is normal. However, should you feel significant pain, let your physical therapist know so your treatment plan can be adjusted.

Depending on the severity of the patient's condition, treatment plans may last 4 to 12 weeks, and each session may last between half an hour and an hour. The patient’s progress and compliance with recommendations will determine whether the treatment needs to be extended.

Physical rehabilitation helps people recover from injuries, improve mobility, and prevent the disabling effects of chronic conditions.

We work with major insurance providers. However, coverage will vary from plan to plan. You can confirm if your plan is in-network by calling us at (979)-543-8600.

Wear something loose and comfortable. This will allow you to have a full range of motion during therapy and enable your therapist to do a thorough body examination.

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.

Cassondra B.

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 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
