When I found Dr. Chad Bennis I had been in severe chronic pain from a herniated disc in my lower back for 8 years! Everyday was a struggle to motivate my body and my mind to get out of bed and not succumb to the pain and depression that accompanies it. I had for a long time been ruled by my diagnosis and DR. after DR. wanting to prescribe pain pills, injections, and even spinal surgery-- I was told over and over that I would live with this pain for the rest of my life. I have, as well, seen many chiropractors over the years that all twisted, cracked, and pulled me in similar ways, but the relief was temporary, if at all. I randomly found Chad and stumbled into his office with very little hope, just to ask him what he thought of my situation. He exhuberantly said that I SHOULD come and see him and that he could help me. For some reason I believed him, he is the type of person you feel comfortable with right away. Needless to say, the first time he adjusted me was like night and day for me with my pain. I went on a walk with my mom the next day and didnt feel the nagging pain, weakness, and tingling from my herniation site! It was strange to not feel any pain for the first time in so long. I have been seeing Chad for a few months now and my life has changed. We are still working on adjusting my spine but my pain has reduced so dramatically. I even see him less now because of my progress. If you are not seeing results with your current chiropractor, live with chronic pain, have been told you need spinal surgery, or have never seen a chiropractor please see Chad Bennis. Thank you Chad!

Ive been a patient of Dr. Bennis for six weeks now, and my life has dramatically improved. I feel like a different person, more like myself again (finally!) after years of seeking help for chronic, debilitating pain. When I went to Dr. Bennis, I was in so much hip and low back pain that I couldnt sleep at night, much less be active in my daily life. I had been to eight different chiropractors in the Bay Area since moving to California in 2014, and while a few seemed to help, none of them brought me the kind of relief (and joy!) that Dr. Bennis has brought to my body and soul. Ive been seeing chiropractors regularly since a low back injury in 2002, so Im familiar with various Chiropractic techniques. Yet, I had never heard of or experienced the technique that Dr. Bennis uses - the Gonstead technique. On my first visit, I was skeptical. I wasnt sure about this strange new technique. But I came to my second and third appointments, and thats when my hip and low back pain disappeared. I was amazed at the amount of relief I felt! I didnt truly understand how much chronic pain I had been in until it was gone. Dr. Bennis also adjusted my SI joint, neck, and mid-back, and just six weeks later... I am pain-free and dancing again! Im ready to start a strength training program. I can take yoga classes again. I can move my body and it feels so good! I highly recommend Dr. Bennis. He is a miracle worker. Truly. He is gifted, skilled, and compassionate. He is an expert at what he does. He has truly, deeply, profoundly improved my life, and I am incredibly grateful.

Chad Bennis is an extremely gifted and compassionate doctor who will significantly change your life for the better. His diagnostic and reasoning skills are extremely comprehensive. He simply gets to the root cause of the pain and eliminates it. He possesses excellent communication and soft skills. His methods and training are superior to any chiropractic approach taught on the West Coast. If you have any form of spinal pain, musculoskeletal pain - do not hesitate to see him. Make an appointment now!!! My proof? After wasting thousands of dollars on massage, acupuncture, four different chiropractors, PT and several trips to my PCP...he eliminated: (a) mid thoracic back pain I had for 10 years, (b) sub scapular pain I had for 6 years, (c) infraspinatus pain I had for 4 years, (d) fixed a radial head subluxation in my right arm, (e) pain from a bulging disc at C7 and, (f) referred me to his network to get both knees and an ankle treated with BMAC/PRP. I have not been this pain free in over a decade. I cannot articulate a more glowing recommendation than this.

I have been dealing with a lower back injury for 4 years now and the doctors werent able to get me proper results with what was going on. I have had limited movement and my injury tore apart my normal life. Dr. Bennis had me get X-rays and when i brought him the prints, off the first one he immediately spotted the problem and explained it fully. One of my discs had shifted behind another one. I couldnt believe it was that noticeable and no doctor could have told me what was wrong after the extensive testing MRI and CAT scans plus X-rays. The first adjustment that the doctor gave me greatly improved the pressure and sharpness of pain that i was feeling. Now after several weeks of seeing him once or twice a week. My mobility has greatly improved i am able to bend to spots i used to be able to. Dr. Bennis has changed my life and put me back on track to my old life. I am now able to be active again! Thank you Dr. Bennis you are awesome!

Dr. Chad Bennis attended Western Kentucky University and The Sherman College of Straight Chiropractic. I travelled from Indiana and spent 30 days in Sebastopol, CA and after 20 adjustments and lots of walking, my acute spinal inflammation went from a 9-10 to practically negligible.Prior to my treatment, I was unable to put socks on and tie my shoes. I was taking four different prescriptions over the course of two and half years. I am pleased to say that I no longer take any of them and am now walking three to six miles everyday.I am returning back to my occupation of playing live music and will be following up monthly with Dr. Cherie Goble in Lafayette, IN as prescribed by Dr. Bennis. My quality of life has been restored and the depression of chronic pain has lifted. Dr. Chad Bennis is the real deal and I would highly suggest seeing him. Thanks Dr. Bennis!

I suffered from debilitating headaches from the time I was 13 until last year when I was 57. The headaches started at the base of the skull and expanded from there. Id often end up with a massive migraine or at least superbad headaches. I popped Imitrex and aspirin on a daily basis. That is, until I met Chad Bennis. When my doctor suggested I head to a chiropractor I rolled my eyes because I had been to so many already and nothing had ever changed. But Dr. Bennis is different. Ive been nearly headache free since I started working with him last year. I truly cant believe it. My life has really changed. Im much happier because Im not fighting against chronic pain. Working with Dr. Bennis has truly been life changing. He is a Rock Star!

I started visiting Dr Chad Bennis approx ten weeks ago. Before I met him I was unable to complete day to day activities without pain. Laying on the floor in my office for relief. Pain pills and doctors visits.Ten years of sports injuries and 7 misdirected chiropractors later I was in bad shape. After one visit he solved the numbness and tension in my middle back. After the next few visits am no longer cracking my neck, and my lower back has recovered to where I have 100% pain free days. I never thought that would be possible. His targeted approach let me know he was not just popping joints but rather actively aligning. Im going hard in the gym pain free, sleeping great, and living a comfortable life. Dr Bennis has a customer for life!
