Advanced Chiropractic Protocols that treat many musculoskeletal and nervous system issues

Experience how a tailored Chiropractic plan from Specific Health utilizing the unique Gonstead chiropractic method can help your boost your body's own natural healing abilities and start living a pain free and symptom free life. The Gonstead method emphasizes the importance of a proper foundation in spinal health, recognizing the body's foundation as the pelvic girdle. Misalignments in the pelvic girdle or vertebrae can lead to pressure on discs, nerve compression, and various health issues. The Gonstead Method aims to restore misalignments, known as subluxations, to alleviate symptoms and promote optimal health. After a thorough analysis, Dr. Lavell delivers precise adjustments to restore and maintain optimal health by locating and correcting any interference to the nervous system caused by vertebral subluxation.

More than spinal adjustments Chiropractic care is an alternative to whole body pain relief without drugs or surgery

The Gonstead Method of Chiropractic care, as practiced by Dr. Lavell at Specific Health, is a specialized branch of alternative medicine focusing on detecting, treating, and managing neuromuscular disorders. This approach emphasizes the relationship between the spine and the nervous system, with Dr. Lavell operating from the premise that any misalignment of the spine can lead to abnormalities in the nervous system. He believes in the body’s ability to heal itself when properly aligned.

‍

Specific Health's chiropractic care involves a range of non-surgical treatments, including spinal manipulation, exercise, massage, hot and cold therapy, and lifestyle management. These treatments are used to address conditions such as headaches, arthritic pain, lower back pain, neck pain, and sports injuries.

‍

Dr. Lavell conducts a detailed analysis of your spine using five criteria to detect the vertebral subluxation complex:

Visualization: Expert evaluation of posture and movement to identify subtle changes indicating potential issues.
Instrumentation: Use of the Nervoscope to detect heat variations along the spine, indicating inflammation and nerve pressure.
Static Palpation: Examination of the spine in a stationary position to detect swelling, tenderness, and abnormal texture.
Motion Palpation: Evaluation of spinal movement to determine segmental mobility.
X-Ray Analysis: Full-spine radiographs to visualize spinal structure and identify misalignments and pathologies.

Specific Health and Dr. Lavell are absolutely unparalleled. I’ve seen 20+ chiropractors and found The Best. If you’re committed to improvement-they are too. I can’t believe where I used to be, and where I am now! Go get better!

Tyler D.

Dr. Jeff Lavell and his team create a welcoming environment and take a practical approach to care, always delivering positive outcomes for me, and my family. Their tailored treatments often lead to significant improvements. Among many chiropractors I've visited, none match their level of service. 5 stars!

E.F.

Dr. Lavell is the best chiropractor I've ever gone to. He never gave up on me and my injury. I was an athlete that needed to walk with a cane from my back injury. I am 100% better, stronger, and able to do the things I love to do. Thanks!

Dana H.

Dr. Jeff is caring, knowledgeable, and friendly. I have been going there for nearly 19 years now. His adjustments help me do the things I want to do.

Mary A.

A year ago after many other treatments, failed back surgery I thought I was running out of options then by chance a very good friend of mine told me about Specific Health and Dr Lavell. Today I am a new man. Dr Lavell and all the folks working at Specific Health are great to work with and have my utmost thanks and I will be forever grateful for how they have changed my life.

Tim O.

I felt heard! The introductory evaluation left me knowing what's wrong and if I want to proceed with treatment. Nice friendly staff!

Sarah L.

Very thorough and attentive, listening and offering diagnosis and treatment that wasn’t pushy, but appropriate. The Gonstead method really gives me results.

Ruth L.

I had never seen a doctor regarding my back or neck because I thought it was all part of getting older. I frequently took aspirin and or IBP after a long walk because of the pain and stiffness. At work when I would get up from my best after sitting for period of time. I would be so stiff I could not immediately stand up straight. I would need to walk slightly bent over… gradually standing up straight as I walked. My neck was stiff too but here again I thought it was part of getting older and probably needing… a better pillow. After beginning care with Specific Family when I get up I am no longer stiff and unable to straighten up. My back feels great. . I am grateful and more than satisfied with the quality of care I have received at SFC. I have highly recommended them to other family members who have also been fully satisfied with care and results they have received.

Susan M.

I had pain and tightness in neck and back. On a scale of 1-10 I would say it was an “8”. I have had this for 2+ years. I use to see a chiropractor in Illinois that used the Gonstead technique and he told me to be sure and find a doctor that used this. To make a long story short, I didn’t. I was miserable and now I come to Specific Family Chiropractic and I feel “GOOD”! No, my insurance does not cover this for me, but I come anyway. I know a good thing when I have found it! I still come but my initial problem took about two months to get results. I am treated very well and I do know that they truly care for the way I feel.

Shelley W.

Great staff, great Doctor as Dr. Lavell explained and carefully went through all options for treatment… highly recommend!

Frank B.

I have been going to Dr Jeff Lavell for over 20 years. Prior to going to Specific Chiropractors. I wasn't able to go 3 weeks without pain. Dr Jeff is the first Chiropractor who has given me weeks between visits. 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 help one get back to feeling good. I also like to get massages there. Dr Jeff is well educated in functional medicine and uses supplements to assist the body in healing itself. He is constantly researching various products as to their uses and effectiveness. When he makes a suggestion I know it's because it has been proven to work. I often use his suggestions along with my prescribed medication. I find Specific Health and the people there particularly caring, knowledgeable and interested in my wellbeing.

Georgianna L.

They use the Gonstead Chiropractic method vs just the "normal" Chiropractic - It made a noticeable difference on me.

Jay R.

Specific Health shows their commitment to my health. I was in an auto accident and called there, leaving a voicemail after hours, and sure enough, right away the next morning, K called me and squeezed me in to see a dr that day to check me out and treat me. THANK YOU 😊 Highly recommend the caring folks at Specific Health & Chiropractic

Been struggling with Tinnitus and neck pain. The decompression machine has helped me enjoy life again!
