Services
Gonstead Chiropractic
Our Gonstead technique delivers precise spinal adjustments to correct misalignments and relieve nerve pressure. This method effectively addresses back pain, neck pain, and sciatica through biomechanically sound adjustments. Patients experience improved mobility and reduced inflammation through our targeted approach.
Spinal Decompression
Non-surgical spinal decompression gently stretches the spine to relieve disc pressure and promote healing. This therapy treats herniated discs, sciatica, and chronic back pain through gradual traction sessions. Patients benefit from restored disc height and reduced nerve compression without invasive procedures.
Neuropathy Treatment
Our neuropathy protocols combine electrical stimulation and laser therapy to restore nerve function. This approach addresses numbness, tingling, and pain from nerve damage through targeted stimulation and healing protocols. Patients experience improved sensation and reduced discomfort in extremities.
Knee Pain Treatment
Advanced knee pain protocols utilize shockwave therapy and joint rebalancing techniques to address chronic knee discomfort. This non-invasive treatment promotes tissue healing and improves joint function through focused acoustic wave therapy and biomechanical correction.
Functional Nutrition
Personalized nutritional consultations optimize health through science-based dietary recommendations. Our approach addresses inflammation, supports healing, and improves overall wellness through targeted supplementation and food plans. Patients receive customized strategies to complement their chiropractic care.

Report
I have been going to Dr Jeff Lavelle for over 20 years. Prior to going to Specific Chiropractors. I have gone over 4 weeks without pain. After dealing with other Chiropractors for 20+ years. Dr Jeff is the first Chiropractor who has done that. The only reason it isn't longer is my fault. I don't get enough exercise and stretching. So I'm not playing my part. They have a wide range of services to mitigate pain and discomfort. I particularly like the massages. Specific is the best place to go for chiropractic care.

I've known Dr. Jeff since he first started. Before going to him I had seen many other chiropractors for my lower back pain. He has been the only one who has helped me. Dr. Jeff gives 110%, and does not stop until he finds a solution for you. I continue to see him and the staff at Specific Family Chiropractic because they are all so patient and give you the care you need.
