Practicing as a Doctor of Chiropractic at the Chiropractique Mission Hills clinic on 813 W Washington St in 92103, Dr. Eric Bender is one of two co-founding chiropractors behind the multi-location 2005 practice. His treatment approach centers on hands-on diversified-technique adjustments for hip, mid-back, and cervical subluxations, often resolving acute presentations within one or two visits — a manual-care orientation that complements the movement-based work done at Nexus Physical Therapy. Patients move between the Mission Hills, North Park, and College Area Chiropractique offices depending on schedule, since the same intake notes follow them across the small chain. Cupping, kinesiology taping, and instrument-assisted soft-tissue protocols are layered onto the adjustment plan for soft-tissue cases, a multi-modal manual-therapy stack that parallels the bodywork sessions at Karma Wellness. Complex multi-region cases involving combined cervical-thoracic restrictions and chronic IT band tightness are handled across consecutive sessions pairing adjustments with cupping and instrument-assisted soft tissue protocols.
