Both doctors Ben Naar and Tina Schechter have family members that they saw at a young age helped tremendously by chiropractors.

“My dad, Howard, was a basketball player back in the day and got thrown into the bleachers,” Schechter said. “I saw how chiropractors helped him and I always had a passion for it.”

As for Naar, it was his mother Gladys that was helped by his current profession.

“She would faint from her lower back pain,” Naar said.

In addition to their family histories rooted deep in chiropractic help, Naar and Schechter started their own family history at New York Chiropractic College, where they met and got married.

“He threw me a line and I fell for it,” Schechter said.

The husband-wife combo is now celebrating their 18th year in Boynton at the Bentin Chiropractic Wellness Center, 3379 Woolbright Road.

The center treats an array of problems in multiple ways including chiropractic adjustments, electrical muscle stimulation, trigger point therapy, massage therapy and computerized spinal analysis.

“The technology we have here is great and ables us to treat patients in a non-forced manor,” Schechter said.

Naar said the facility is 2,863 square feet and has new instruments like the proadjuster and the powerplate.

The proadjuster is a NASA creation that Naar said only 4,000 offices in the country have access to.

The powerplate produces vibrations to the body that create 60 minutes worth of training in only 10 minutes, Naar said.

The office is open 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and 2 to 6:30 p.m. Tuesday. It is also open 9 to 11 a.m. Saturday and for emergencies Thursday.

Naar said they take insurance including Cigna, Medicare and even Blue Cross Blue Shield.

“We also have four massage therapists with 60 years of combined experience,” he said.

Brita Gerx, a Delray Beach resident, has been dealing with lower back pain for more than 10 years.

“I’ve tried everything, maybe it is time to finally try a chiropractor,” she said. “If they can help in a noninvasive way, I’m all for it.”
