Chiropractic Adjustments
Our chiropractic adjustments focus on correcting spinal misalignments to alleviate nerve irritation and promote natural healing, using precise manual techniques tailored to each patient's needs. These adjustments restore proper motion to joints, enhancing nervous system function and overall well-being. Patients experience reduced pain and improved mobility through our evidence-based approach.
Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression therapy provides non-surgical relief for herniated discs, sciatica, and degenerative disc conditions by gently stretching the spine to create negative pressure. This process encourages disc rehydration and nutrient flow, reducing nerve compression and inflammation. Our FDA-approved technology delivers customized treatment protocols for lasting pain relief and spinal healing.
Active Release Technique
The Active Release Technique targets soft tissue injuries through precise manual pressure and movement, breaking up scar tissue adhesions in muscles and tendons. This specialized approach restores flexibility and function, particularly effective for repetitive strain injuries in athletes and active individuals. Sessions combine assessment and treatment for optimal recovery.
NUCCA Upper Cervical Care
NUCCA Upper Cervical Care employs gentle, precise corrections for head and neck misalignments without forceful manipulation. This technique restores body balance and brain communication by addressing subluxations in the upper cervical spine. Patients benefit from long-lasting symptom relief and improved neurological function through this low-force approach.
Rehabilitation Programs
Our rehabilitation programs integrate chiropractic care with targeted exercises to strengthen musculature and improve joint stability following injury or surgery. Customized plans include stretching, strengthening, and balance training to enhance functional recovery. These active care strategies empower patients to maintain long-term wellness and prevent recurring issues.

My massage with Bill was absolutely great! He sensed exactly what I needed help. This was a medical massage, to relieve spasms in my back and neck. It could not have been better. Bill has a 6th sense of where one needs relief from pain. He works very hard and goes right to the areas needing loosening and relaxation. But he is also very kind and caring. I am excited about the results with my pain! Thank you, Bill!

I would highly recommend Benningfield & Associates. I was able to quickly schedule an appointment and Dr Jay Benningfield genuinely cared about my concerns and issues. I have only been twice so far but I can already feel improvements from his adjustments. The whole Benningfield team is kind and great to work with.

This is the first time trying chiropractic treatment. Dr Troy explained the intervention and did a comprehensive exam. After three treatments I am moving much better.

I always have an excellent experience when I get adjustments at Benningfield & Associates. Dr Chad Walker is awesome, and he is also really great with kids! We have had both our kids see him, one at 8 months and the other was almost 2 1/2. I would definitely recommend them for anyone considering chiropractic care.

Chad Walker is the most informed about corrective procedures of all the chiropractors I have visited in 55 years. He must have put forth an exceptional effort in school.
