Why Personal Injury Rehabilitation Matters

Any injury you sustain can change the way you live your life. It can impact your daily productivity, goals, and relationships. Getting injury rehabilitation as soon as possible gives you a chance to return to your everyday life. Other reasons include:

Delays can worsen injuries: Putting off treatment can lead to the progression of pain and the development of complications.
Rehab relieves pain: Treating injuries that cause pain helps release endorphins, which puts your body into a state of balance and allows it to heal more effectively.
Treating unknown issues: Professionals have the skills and technology to give your body a thorough check-up and detect hidden problems that also need treatment.

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 fresh. 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 your everyday life is very important. Still, as a general rule, we recommend that you take it easy and refrain from exerting yourself excessively while undergoing treatment.

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 how 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 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 him get 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.

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.
