DR. RON BENSON

Chiropractor Serving the San Jose Area

In Dr. Benson’s early 20’s, he faced a devastating injury, leaving his right arm paralyzed. After trying conventional therapy and having little success, Dr. Benson was first introduced to chiropractic care, and ultimately, was inspired to enter the profession. Dr. Benson entered Life Chiropractic College West to pursue a chiropractic degree and has now been in practice since 1986.

He is the only doctor in the South Bay area to hold Advanced Certification in Clinical Biomechanics of Posture/Chiropractic Biophysics Technique and also holds Advanced Certification in Whiplash Trauma and Spine Trauma and Traumatic Brain Injury. Dr. Benson is a clinical instructor of Chiropractic Biophysics, specializing in Biomechanics of Posture, and the past President of the Santa Clara County Chiropractic District. A skilled and gifted chiropractor, Dr. Benson has treated thousands of people with problems ranging from neck and back pain to carpal tunnel syndrome and headaches, even migraines. He can help many with jaw pain and TMJ problems.

What is Chiropractic Biophysics?

Chiropractic BioPhysics is a highly-advanced, scientific, and proven chiropractic technique which corrects and restores your spine back to alignment. Chiropractic BioPhysics combines biology, physiology, physics, geometry, and anatomy to identify the causes of your pain, discomfort, loss of mobility, and altered health. That means your diagnosis – and treatment – will be based on sound scientific and chiropractic principles.

Unlike temporary fixes that only mask symptoms, Chiropractic BioPhysics® (CBP®) addresses the root cause of spinal issues to deliver long-lasting results. Whether you’re struggling with chronic pain, poor posture, or reduced mobility, CBP® helps restore balance and function so you can live life to the fullest.

Frequently Asked Questions

What conditions does a chiropractor commonly treat?

Chiropractors commonly treat neck pain, back pain, headaches, sciatica, joint pain, posture-related issues, and injuries from auto accidents or daily strain. Care focuses on restoring proper spinal alignment, improving mobility, and supporting overall nervous system health.

Berryessa Chiropractic is conveniently located in the San Jose area, making it easy for patients from San Jose and surrounding neighborhoods to access quality chiropractic care. Our clinic is designed to provide a welcoming, professional environment where patients can focus on healing and long-term wellness.

The spine plays a critical role in how the nervous system communicates with the rest of the body. When spinal movement or alignment is compromised, it can affect mobility, posture, and daily function. Chiropractic care helps restore proper motion and balance, allowing the body to heal and perform more efficiently.

Your first visit typically includes a detailed health history, physical and neurological examination, and any necessary imaging to understand your condition fully. From there, a personalized care plan is created to address your goals, symptoms, and long-term health needs.

No referral is required to see a chiropractor. Patients can schedule an appointment directly, whether they are seeking care for pain, injury recovery, or proactive wellness support.

If you’re experiencing pain, stiffness, reduced mobility, or recovering from an injury—or if you want to improve posture and movement—chiropractic care may be beneficial. A professional evaluation can determine whether chiropractic treatment is appropriate for your specific needs.

Understanding Auto Injuries and Whiplash

Whiplash is one of the most common auto accident injuries, resulting from the sudden forward-and-backward motion of the head and neck. This motion strains the muscles, ligaments, and joints of the spine, and can even impact the brain and nervous system.

According to INJURY, an international journal focusing on trauma care, 93% of patients with chronic whiplash pain who have failed other forms of treatment improve with chiropractic care. This research supports the power of precise spinal correction and rehabilitative chiropractic methods for restoring proper function and reducing long-term pain.

Timely evaluation is critical. Studies estimate that 15–40% of individuals with whiplash may develop chronic pain if injuries are not diagnosed and treated correctly. That’s why at Berryessa Chiropractic, every patient receives a comprehensive assessment to ensure no injuries are missed.

Advanced Training and Expertise You Can Trust

Dr. Benson holds advanced credentials in spinal trauma and whiplash care, including:

  • CCST Whiplash and Brain Traumatology Certification
  • Advanced Certification through the Spine Research Institute of San Diego

These qualifications ensure that your care is guided by evidence-based research and clinical precision. Dr. Benson’s training allows him to accurately identify the degree of injury, even in cases where pain is delayed or symptoms are complex.

Common Whiplash and Auto Injury Symptoms

After a collision, symptoms may appear immediately or take days or weeks to surface. Be alert for:

  • Headaches or migraines
  • Neck or back pain
  • Dizziness or nausea
  • Radiating pain, numbness, or tingling in the arms or legs
  • Muscle stiffness or weakness
  • Fatigue, irritability, or anxiety
  • Jaw pain, popping, or clicking (TMJ dysfunction)
  • Shoulder, ribcage, or sciatica pain
  • Reduced range of motion or balance issues

Even minor symptoms can indicate deeper structural problems. That’s why early evaluation at Berryessa Chiropractic is key to preventing long-term complications.
