Raised in a chiropractic home and adjusted as a colicky newborn, Dr. Ben brings gentle, effective care tailored to infants, children, and growing families — with energy kids look forward to.
Julie is the first smile you see and the voice on the other end of the phone. She greets every family with genuine energy, care, and compassion — helping with scheduling, paperwork, and answering your questions so your visit feels easy from the moment you walk in.
Instead of chasing symptoms, we use INSIGHT neurological scans to see where stress is stored in the nervous system, then build a care plan around exactly what the scan shows.
“My 5 year old and 8 year old have been seeing Dr Ben for a little over a month. They both experienced positive changes in mood almost immediately. My oldest son was having difficulty reading and I was concerned about dyslexia when I took him in initially. He has had major improvements at school and with his reading, his teacher even mentioned that he volunteers to read in class!”
“I worked with Dr. Ben during my pregnancy and it was a GAME CHANGER. So thankful for his attention to detail to find and solve my sources of pain.”
“We took our newborn here and they did an amazing job! They were super helpful and listened to the concerns we were having at the time. It made us as parents much more relaxed about the adjustment. Would highly recommend!”
“Took my newborn here after a difficult labor and delivery. After just the first visit he was much less fussy and slept better. Looking forward to continuing his care here!”
“Ben is one of those people you can tell truly cares about his patients and his work. His passion for helping others shines through in everything he does, and it’s clear he puts his heart into the care he provides. If you're looking for someone who combines professionalism with compassion, you’re in great hands here. Highly recommend!”
“We’ve been bringing our daughter to Slavens Chiropractic for about a month now, and we’re so happy with the results! Dr. Ben takes the time to explain everything clearly and makes sure my daughter feels comfortable at every visit. We’ve already noticed a big improvement in how she feels. Highly recommend this office for anyone looking for gentle, effective chiropractic care!”
“This place is great! Dr. Slavens gives the best care to families. We love their scans to help us understand what care is needed, especially for our newborn baby. Dr Slavens shows he cares and gives great adjustments every time my family is in the office. We couldn’t be happier!”

Yes. Infant adjustments use about as much pressure as testing a ripe tomato — gentle, specific, and appropriate for a newborn's spine.
A non-invasive scan that measures nervous system stress and function. No radiation, no discomfort — and it gives us a baseline to track progress against.
Unfortunately no. All insurance considers subluxation-focused care not medically-necessary, because it is not a medical treatment. Medical care focuses on treatment of symptoms, whereas subluxation-centered chiropractic is a cause-based approach focused on actual long-term healing and restoration. We offer flexible payment plans, and our team is happy to discuss these options with you!
Every nervous system heals at its own pace. After your scans we give you an honest, specific timeline instead of a generic package.
Pick a time and we'll call you directly to learn about your family's situation, answer your questions, and start you on the path to healing.
