Dr. Benhard will take time to listen to you as a patient and  provide individual treatment that best suits your needs. Chiropractic care is often misinterpreted as treatment for only neck and back pain, but it addresses many more things. All joints are filled with nerves that signal various messages such as vibration, temperature, motion, and balance.  Restoring proper joint function Acupuncture involves the stimulation of nerves or points that serve to increase or decrease the natural energy channels in the body. These channels have been described in science as pathways of lower electrical resistance at the micro current level. (One ten-thousandth of an amp).  Restoring this normal electrical flow helps organs and tissue recover and maintain.  DRY NEEDLING is a technique using acupuncture needles to stimulate tissue by reducing spasm, releasing scarring and adhesions, as well as increasing blood flow to injured areas.  Very effective for trigger points, myofacial pain, joint and tendon pain. When investigating specific lasers and the research as*ociated with different types, our clinic director determined that a low level or “cold” laser was much more thera*eutic than a “hot” or thermal laser.  True laser stimulation emergizes cells to produce new reparative cells and stimulate nitric oxide.  Nitric oxide increases circulation by dilating vessels resulting in pain relief and healing. Electro Therapy encompas*es several different types designed to either reduce pain, swelling, or inflammation by using electrical charges to repel proteins that cause those effects. We have all applications: some scramble or confuse the nerves (TENS device).  To reduce pain-this can often be a portable device that allows patients to decrease pain medications. Other therapies are more for reducing
