This advanced treatment alleviates pressure on spinal discs using motorized traction techniques. Effective for herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, and nerve compression, our decompression therapy promotes natural healing while minimizing discomfort.

Report
Dr Tam is very knowledgeable, professional, and helpful. I had a shoulder problem that was not very severe, but very longstanding (at least a decade). I had spent several thousand dollars on physical therapy to try and treat it, but that ultimately didn't help and I kind of gave up on it ever being fixed. I came to Dr Tam (belatedly, as I had prior unfavorable experiences with other chiropractors' offices), and my shoulder stopped hurting after the first session!
After a few more, I was able to start doing workouts that involved shoulder strength and even acrobatics. I am amazed - I never thought I would be able to do that! Some time later, I had an accident that hurt my lower back. Dr Tam helped it feel better very quickly, and I was able to get back to my life in relatively short order.
Dr. Tam is a talented healer and I have been recommending him to everyone in my circle

Solid recommendation. I had a pinched nerve and a neighbor who is a nurse recommended Dr. Tam. He told me it would probably take three visits to feel improvement, but the morning after the first visit I felt some relief - the first relief I'd experienced. I continue treatment, and continue to improve. I like that Dr. Tam is honest about what he can and cannot do. The staff who assist are good, and also kind. The office is well run, with little or no waiting for an appointment.

I went to the emergency room twice to two different hospitals for extreme pain in my collar bone and shoulder. None of the doctors were able to help me nor did they know why it hurt or how to treat it. All they did was prescribe pain killers which didn't even help. Then I went to see Dr. Benson Tam. He immediately knew what to do and cured my pain. I highly recommend him.

First of all, Google Maps takes you to the wrong address. Second, I called ahead of time and asked if they take Anthem PPO insurance and they said yes. Then I trekked all the way out there, they made me sign ten pages of forms, only to then tell me that they don't actually accept my insurance. Their reasoning made zero sense and they were rude about it. Don't go here, ever.

Dr. Tam and his team, Mercedes and Michelle, are wonderful and I highly recommend Benson Chiropractic. I've had ongoing back, knee and shoulder issues for a couple of years and the treatment that Dr. Tam has provided has really helped to improve my pain.

Dr. Tam is a great chiropractor. Pulled my back at the gym and was unable to rotate without pain. After my first visit, I was already able to feel immediate relief. I highly recommend Dr. Tam!

Report
I'm in the midst of getting my frozen impinged shoulder and 3 years of built-up scar tissue from a prior injury fixed up by Dr. Tam. I'm a poor candidate for surgery as it is, and was horribly freaked out when it started happening. 5 months in I've regained SO much of my range of motion with his care, healing expertise, treatment and instruction. At the start, I could barely lift up my arm and couldn't reach behind my back at all. This morning I could brush my hair without feeling pain or feeling "stuck". No shots. No surgery. Thank you Dr. Tam! I'll keep doing my exercises and stretches!
