"Adjustments improve my sleeping throughout the night and help with muscle tension on the shoulders and necks! It’s been great coming here for adjustments!"

- Lee


"My husband and I have been seeing Dr. Ben for over 10 years. I would never go to anyone else! He has helped us with numerous back issues and we have found so much relief from his care. He is a very friendly personable guy who wants the best health success for everyone."

- Brenda


"I have had lower and mid back pain for many years, after visiting Oak Springs I am virtually pain free! its Fantastic!"

- Mark


"Dr Ben and the staff at Oak Springs Chiropractic have been exceeding my expectations since day 1!

I hadn’t a clue that so many different functions of the human body could be compromised due to pinched nerves in the spine.

Even after I heard them tell me I didn’t realize it…

Once Dr Ben started fixing stuff is when the issues began to fade and my well being started to improve tremendously.

Thank you all so much!"

- Andy


"I highly recommend Oak Springs Chiropractic. They have helped my overall wellness in many ways. Thanks Dr. Ben."

"Daniel is 4 years old and has quite a long medical background. Since Dan was 2 weeks old every September his health problems would begin. They always started the same with some rash that was unexplainable and undiagnosable as well. From there it would get worse. He would develop upper respiratory problems in which most of the time would send us to the hospital for days and sometimes weeks. We never did get any answers from the doctors, just enormous medical bills which put us in financial ruins. Just before we started taking Dan to Dr. Ben, the U of MN wanted to start Dan on growth hormone because he had stopped growing as well, even though his body had the right hormones, he just wasn’t using them. Since Dan started seeing Dr. Ben he has been without a single health problem! Our family and friends are all amazed by how well Dan is doing. He’s growing, gaining weight, has not had any digestive or respiratory problems. My family will always be thankful for Dr. Ben entering our lives and giving life back to us! As well as a happy, healthy, growing 4 year old boy!"

"I came in with extreme low back pain. The kind where you ask: ‘Can you fix me without touching me?’ The next morning after my first adjustment I was a new person with 90% less pain. As an added benefit I’m also getting better quality sleep. I feel well rested when I wake. I’ve also be en able to stop taking thyroid medication. Previously when I’d stopped the meds, I would experience extreme fatigue, sleep for 15 hours and still want a nap. Not anymore! I recommend Dr. Ben to everyone!"

- Lisa


"I am a massage therapist and I initially went to see Dr. Ben because I was having some discomfort in my left thumb. After the first visit the pain was much better and by the third visit the pain was gone and has not reoccurred. I have had a dramatic reduction in headaches and mid-back discomfort also. I have been to chiropractors in the past without a lot of success, but Dr. Ben’s chiropractic care is holistic and I think that is the reason I have had such success."

- Karen


"Once I’m adjusted, I feel more energized, more open, relaxed and happy."

- Maggie


"Before seeing Dr. Ben I was experiencing lower back pain and numbness in my right leg all the way into my foot. I also experienced lots of headaches and often suffered with heartburn. Because of my lower back pain I haven’t been able to look for work, I have gained about 20 pounds due to little or no exercise and I have been very stressed out. My pain was just really putting a damper on my life. I tried physical therapy for about three months and used a lot of pain killers, but I never got relief. Since beginning care I have had no headaches and no heartburn almost immediately after I began getting worked on. I have also been experiencing less pain and no numbness in my leg. I now have the ability to start working again and have been experiencing an overall better attitude and outlook on life. I have referred one of my best friends to see Dr. Ben. I am just very happy with everything I have experienced so far and look forward to seeing more improvement as Dr. Ben keeps working on me. Thank you very much!"

"(Regarding her 3 month old son who had) “acid reflux, hiccups, trouble laying on his back, and general digestion problems. It made it hard to put him down to sleep, he cried a lot in the car and wasn’t able to get comfortable.” After 4 adjustments, “He was able to be off Prevacid (acid reflux medication) for 2 days, was able to go to sleep and be comfortable laying on his back, spit up less, and had hiccups less! (He was) Just happier and more content now. He also started sleeping 6 or 7 hours at 1 time during the night!"

"Since starting chiropractic care I have been able to function at a greater level. I am healthier, have more energy – in turn, a better wife and mom."

- Jennifer


"I went the (medical) doctor for my headaches. They did CT scans, a spinal tap, I even went to an ear, nose and throat doctor thinking it might be my sinuses. Everything came back normal. They put me on medicine for my migraines. The medicine would usually take the pain away but I knew I was only masking the pain, not correcting the problem. Now that I have been seeing Dr. Ben for over a year and my headaches are pretty much gone. Now when I do get one, they are less severe and manageable. I rarely have to take a migraine pill now. My life has completely changed for the better. I can concentrate at work better, I don’t have to sleep off my migraines and miss out on fun things. I haven’t been to the regular (medical) doctor for any type of sickness in over a year."

- Jennifer


"Dr. Ben has done wonders helping me! I initially saw him for sciatica symptoms, and have continued to see him for ongoing wellness care. Excellent, gentle, knowledgeable doctor!"

- Eric


"I'm so glad I found Oak springs chiropractor the whole team is amazing. Dr. Ben, I can't say enough good things about him. He is so friendly and perfessional. He has so much knowledge about joints and how your body should work. When I first came in I had server back and neck pain and was suffering from a frozen shoulder. Several month later I'm in a much better place and my scans are normalize. Thank for all have done for me."

- Sonia


"I never thought this would work, I was skeptical. But I feel so much better. I feel better than I have in over 20 years. I have more energy, sleep well and my sacroiliac pain is so gone! I have no doubts now!"

- Nancy


"I’m a hospital nurse and on my feet a lot, especially during 2020, this crazy year of the pandemic. I felt the stress of work and life in general. I felt a few aches in my neck and back, a dull headache now and then, but nothing debilitating. I wasn’t sleeping the greatest. I believe in chiropractic care for wellness and have gone regularly in the past, but stopped when my previous chiropractor moved to Wisconsin. I recently moved to Oakdale and was referred to Oak Springs Chiropractic. I had an appointment, with Dr. Ben, as a new patient and got in the same week! We developed a plan to get me “back on track!

I signed up for a package and followed his other recommendations. I don’t have the dull headaches as much and even though my back may still ache in some areas, there is positive change and that’s what I wanted! I’m doing this chiropractic plan for correction and wellness, to prevent serious injury. I’m happy to be a part of this Chiropractic clinic. I’ve seen all three doctors and they are amazing people! Check out Oak Springs Chiropractic in Oakdale, Minnesota!

Dr. Ben and the team are the best!

Sincerely, Lora M., new patient since August."

"It didn’t take much, after shoveling some snow, that I felt a spasm in my back and headed back inside. The first thing I did was make a call to the chiropractor my husband goes to: Dr. Andy. I had a hard time moving around, bending, sitting for periods of time, but after my first visit with Dr. Andy, my lower back felt better. It took several more sessions and some ice packs, but my back feels much better. I know that without his adjustments, my recovery would’ve taken much longer."

- Debra


"I feel so energetic after I am adjusted. I feel like I can stretch more and I do not hurt after. I was getting very bad headaches, now I don’t. I feel like I can jump higher and am more agile. I look forward to my adjustments."

- Brandon


"My wife experienced a scary persistent pain in the upper neck area after a weekend of gardening, and we were concerned that this was going to require dangerous neck or back surgery to correct.
I have had to experience with Chiropractic and was extremely skeptical. I was begged to see a Dr. Ben by several people that I trust, and I finally agreed. I am not going to use the word miracle for a variety of reasons, except that it is a miracle when I admit I was wrong. I was wrong!
One extended session with Dr. Ben, and my wife was pain free, and stayed that way! Amazing..

I highly recommend Dr. Ben"

"Dr. Ben, Just before I had my very first visit with you I found out that I had an abnormal pap. They tested it for Cervical Cancer (early stage) and, let’s just say the results were not so hot. So she told me that in order to fight this I needed to change my life style. No more smoking and no more junk food. She said with healthy eating that would boost my immune system and that would fight off the cancer. Since I have been coming to you I quite smoking, I am eating a healthy diet and I have more energy to work out do activities. My immune system has been top notch; I don’t have to take allergy pills anymore. I recently went back to my OBGYN and she retested me, I am still waiting on the results, but she said since I have changed my life style so dramatically the chances are in my favor that I have beat this. I couldn’t have done this with out you. My stress levels from work, personal, financial, relationships, have all dropped dramatically. It’s because of the confidence I have in you and your practice that I am able to get through this tough time in my life. If the results are not what I hope they are, I know that because you make peoples bodies operate correctly I will be able to get through this. If they are what I want them to be it’s because of the support of you and your staff that helped me get through this. There aren’t enough words to thank you; I would recommend you to anyone who wants to live a happier life. I can’t tell you how much you have changed my life, but I’m sure you can tell every time you see me with a smile on my face. Thank you Dr. Ben and staff, you are the greatest."

"I feel better than I have in years! I could go on for hours about the different ways that creating wellness has changed me and my life. In 15 weeks, I have lost 22 pounds and over four inches from my waist and hips. I have decreased my blood pressure and increased my strength. I lowered my cholesterol enough to get off of my medication. Creating wellness is the best thing I could do for myself!!! Thank you!!"

- Mary


"I love chiropractic because it is a way for me to better myself without medicine."

- Tammie


"I’ve learned a great deal about myself and how I can help my body restore itself naturally instead of seeking medicine to mask the pain."

- Anna


"I LOVE the CHIROPRACTIC experience @ Oak Springs!! It helps with every issue I can ever think of without having to resort to a medical doctor for a Rx."

- Amanda


"I feel better than I have in a long time. Being new to chiropractic care, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Honestly, in just 3 months I have a better understanding of what I can expect and how my life can improve. It’s so much more than chiropractic care (as I used to know it). For the first time, I’m paying attention to my health in ways I never thought I would."

- Cheryl


"Olivia has received chiropractic adjustments since day one in the hospital. She gets checked every week and scanned regularly to find and remove stress from her little system. I believe adamantly that due to regular chiropractic adjustments, good nutrition and low stress at home, she has stayed healthy. She is 4 years old and has never had an ear infection, sinus infection or taken one ounce of medication including antibiotics or pain relievers. Don’t get me wrong, she still gets colds/coughs/fevers and had the rotovirus as a 2 year old. However, the infections are gone quickly and her immune system is stronger because of the exposure and fighting it off naturally. Chiropractic care is and always will be one of the top priorities for her health care and I would recommend every child getting their bodies checked for nerve stress. Adjustments are so simple and affordable that it should be part of regular care for infants and kids. Olivia loves her adjustments and asks for the “click” all the time. She asks for adjustments when she doesn’t feel well which thrills me because she knows that the adjustments really help!

Thank God for chiropractic care and for a healthy child."

"I have lived with chronic pain for over 25 years. I was misdiagnosed with MS and Lupus only to finally be diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. I was tired all of the time and was never without some kind of pain. I often felt as though this is how life was going to be for the rest of my life. I resigned myself to the fact that I would never be without pain. I had trouble exercising, walking and just doing simple things like walking up and down stairs. Chronic pain took the joy out of life. Prior to seeing Dr. Ben, I had tried everything, including another chiropractor. Over the past 25 years I have been through multiple tests costing thousands of dollars. Nothing seemed to work until I started seeing Dr. Ben. Now I feel like I have my life back!! It is true what they say; you have nothing if you don’t have your health. I feel the best I have felt in 25 years. Thank you Dr. Ben for giving me back my health and freedom from pain."

- Jodi

"I was desperate, in pain, and sleep deprived when I found our chiropractors on the internet. I was immediately impressed with the professional, friendly staff and educational materials that are so available. I believe properly applied knowledge is power to be free to be all I was meant to be."

- Rachel

"Headaches! Really, really BAD headaches! That is the first thing that brought me to my chiropractors’ office. Not mild headaches…I’m talking nausea, vomiting and sensitivity to sound. I used to wake up in the morning, about once a month or every 3 to 5 weeks, sometimes more often and these headaches were so bad that they ruined my whole day!!! I used to take a variety of medications to combat them (or their symptoms), such as: Gravol, Advil liquid-gels, Zomig Rapimelt (Zolmitripton) and Maxalt RPD (rizatriptan). In most cases the meds didn’t even give me any relief!"

- L.M.

“I’ve used chiropractic care at various points in my life to keep my body working through various high impact sports, such as wrestling, bull riding, and football. I had lower back pain that was stopping me from being able to fulfill work tasks. The pain was stopping me from sleeping and I couldn’t sit or lie down without discomfort. My performance at work was severely diminished, I couldn’t sleep well, I couldn’t play basketball or tennis at all, where I normally played 2-3 times per week, and I was not as cheery at home as normal.”

- Rob

"I was diagnosed with full blown progressive MS (multiple sclerosis). I was not able to walk and often I had to use a wheelchair or a cane. I had a loss of feeling and weakness of the entire left side of my body. I had suffered with constant fatigue, constant aching, insomnia and daily migraines. Between being wheelchair bound and the debilitating migraines I did not have much of a life. I had visited no less than six medical doctors who told me that I had to live with the MS because there was only so much that could be done and I should learn to live with the pain and disability."

- Bobby

"I have been suffering with an ear infection for 24 days. I had tried many modalities in order to try to rectify this problem. Today I woke up with severe ear pain (It felt like it was going to break.) and a migraine headache. I called my M.D.’s office and they said that they had no openings but that they would have someone call me later."

- Katherine

"This is a note of profound gratitude to my chiropractor for helping me back to the active lifestyle I had enjoyed my entire life until about nine years ago when, after the birth of my daughter, I developed severe Rheumatoid Arthritis."

- Adrienna

"I would like to take a moment to say thank you for your sincere interest in the health and well being of our community. When I first started coming for the care of my lower back I was initially thankful for the great relief in pain I experienced, but it wasn’t long before I began to really appreciate what your practice provides."

- Linda

"With my wedding approaching in June of this year, both my fiancée and I told each other that after the holidays we needed to start to get in better shape so we looked good and were healthier when we started our life together. We were leery of calling it a New Year’s Resolution because no one ever sticks to them. When I got the Viva Loss Vegas Weight Loss Challenge from Oak Springs, I knew it was the extra motivation we needed. When I started, I started the program I was 260lbs. I wanted to be between 200 and 210 by the time I walked the aisle, so I knew I had work to do."

- Chad

"My story is almost too brilliant to believe. I am a type A, hard working CPA, who was almost finished working on my MBA when I was debilitated with a condition called trigeminal neuralgia. My five year plan was put on hold. You know the five year plan to take over the world."
