A Neurologically Focused Approach to Healing

Dr. Bender graduated from Sherman College of Chiropractic in South Carolina and specializes in upper cervical chiropractic care using the Atlas Orthogonal technique. This precise approach focuses on the top two vertebrae in the neck (C1 and C2) and their influence on the brainstem and nervous system. He is particularly dedicated to helping patients with head trauma, concussions, and unresolved neurological issues—people who often feel they have run out of answers.

At Catalyst Chiropractic, Dr. Bender combines personal experience with clinical precision, offering a neurologically focused approach designed to address the underlying causes of dysfunction rather than simply managing symptoms.

What Makes His Approach Different

Every patient’s care begins with a detailed consultation, posture screening, and upper cervical x-rays. Unlike many traditional chiropractic offices, Dr. Bender does not perform an adjustment on the first visit. Instead, he carefully analyzes the findings to develop a personalized care plan.

Once the misalignments have been identified, treatment begins with precise, gentle Atlas Orthogonal adjustments to the upper cervical spine. Dr. Bender then evaluates the rest of the spine for compensatory patterns, helping promote long-term balance and optimal nervous system function.
