Fantastic experience: I am a 73 year old female that had Severe Neuropathy for the past 10 years. In 2024 it got even worse where I really thought I was going to loose the use of both of my legs because I could hardly walk anymore. I found 10 Chiropractors on the internet that offered treatment for Neuropathy. I watched all 10 of thier seminars and the only one that really struck me in a believable manor was the one for Specific Health in Maplewood, Mn. I I decided to go there and go through the consultation. I am so happy I did. I have been WITHOUT Pain since my 3rd treatment. Thank You Dr Jeffrey Lavell, Ashley and Kirsten for everything you have done for me. E.Smith Wisconsin.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I have been seeing Jeff for close to 20 years. He is a great chiropractor and a good friend. Can not recommend him and his staff highly enough!

Fantastic experience: I am a firm believer in Chiropractic care, and seeking the right doctors to be a part of my wellness team is important to me. Dr. Jeff is extremely thorough and he took time to consult with me, asked great questions and was interested in understanding what my goals are. We started with an honest conversation, a scan and then agreed on a plan to hopefully resolve my pain and discomfort (bulging discs, bone spurs and a shorter leg that breaks me out of alignment). I’ve been coming here for over a year now and have made great progress with the help of Dr. Jeff’s specialized techniques and equipment - since my initial plan was completed and successful (MANY THANKS TO SPECIFIC HEALTH!) I’ve taken a more proactive/maintenance approach and look forward to every visit. Dr. Jeff’s staff is consistently friendly and always helpful. I highly recommend Specific Health to all ages!

Fantastic experience: My wife and I have been seeing Dr. Lavelle for close to 20 years. Not only is he a genuinely nice person, he has gone above and beyond the call for us many times. We recently moved to arizona and honestly leaving him was one of the hardest things about the move.

Negative experience: WE HAVE BEEN MISTREATED BY CHRISTIEN SINCE WE CAME TO HIS LUNCH LECTURE ON JUNE 26. OUR FRIENDS DESPERATELY HAVE BEEN TRYING TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT BUT HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUE TO CHRISTIEN'S PSYCHOTIC BEHAVIOR. SHE HAS BLOCKED US ALL ON HIS PAGE, FAILING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE OF MISTREATMENT. BE AWARE OF CHRISTIEN; SHE IS SO VILE. I ASKED FOR A PEN AND SHE REFUSED TO GIVE ME ONE. NOW SHE IS MOVING ALL MY CALLS TO VOICE MESSAGE PLUS HAVING BLOCKED ME ON FACEBOOK. SHE IS MOST LIKELY LOSING SO MANY CLIENTS; IT'S SO EMPTY IN HIS OFFICE. SADLY, THIS HAS BEEN THE HORRID EXPERIENCE WE HAVE HAD DIRECTLY AND SPECIFICALLY FROM CHRISTIEN. ASHLEY WAS SO MUCH BETTER, SOFTENING THE DIFFICULTY CHRISTIEN CREATES, AND THEN THERE'S (MONA) MONIQUE; SHE'S SIMPLE AND QUIET, NO PROBLEMS FROM HER, JUST HORRIBLE CHRISTIEN. Sorry, I don't have any idea how to spell Monique.

I have been a chiropractic skeptic, but my recent experience with Dr Lavell to treat and resolve a sports related spinal injury has made me an advocate of his practice. His technology based diagnostic and comprehensive treatment plan, with milestones, got results efficiently and effectively.

Went from pain levels of wanting to jump off bridge and back going out two three times a month to living a normal life again !

Fantastic experience: My birthday coming up 67 years old and the best shape of my life with severe arthritis thanks to Dr Jeff couldn't be more appreciative also wouldn't be possible to finish my last year of work without the great help of specific chiropractor and health thank you Jerome Lucker

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: I was miserable and scared when I was diagnosed with neropothy. I did not know what was happening to me. I would lose my balance and would fall over. I couldn’t get off a chair or couch on my own. I had to get a walker and a toilet seat riser. I was scared to dive because I couldn’t feel my feet. It’s Very humbling and embarrassing but writing this to give you hope. I have tears writing this because they helped me so much! Thank you Dr Jeff and staff. ❤️I’m getting my life back.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Jeff and staff are GREAT!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Jeff and team at Specific Health are wonderful to work with. From the first point of contact to the last, you are cared for in a professional and friendly manner. I appreciate the time they take to understand the issues and provide solutions to resolve them. Thank you!

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

Fantastic experience: I apologize for this long review... In 2013, I tore my L5/S1 disc. At that time, I went through all the normal medical procedures: Oral steroids, physical therapy, epidural steroid injections, muscle relaxers, pain medication, traditional chiropractic, and even radio frequency ablation to burn off my facet medial branch nerves. None of it worked. After suffering for five years, the pain subsided enough to be tolerable. In 2022, the injury flared up, but worse than before; anything and everything I did resulted in severe pain. A mere sneeze or simple gag reflex brushing my teeth would drop me to my knees in agonizing pain. Luckily, my daughter had recently been treated and cured for chronic back pain by Dr. Jeff Lavell. She said he used the Gonstead chiropractic method. I researched the Gonstead method and scheduled an appointment. After two adjustments, I was pain free! I can't thank these guys enough. Living in chronic pain is not living at all. Oh -- Jeff and John also fixed my frozen shoulder.

Fantastic experience: We have been clients here for quite a few years. Dr.Jeff seems to know just how to "FIX" me. He does wonders for my husband. The physical therapist John has me walking without any aid after I fractured my hip. He does this without causing more pain.

Fantastic experience: Everyone is very nice I look forward to my appointments.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful people work here. I was starting to think my chronic pain (20+ years) was a life sentence. Not the case! They do a great job listening to your needs and accommodating to give the best experience possible. I noticed significant improvements after my first appointment. They also aren’t trying to shake you down. Their main goal is to help you heal. Plenty of payment plan options.

Fantastic experience: Specific health is the best! The workers are awesome and so helpful. Dr. Jeff had a great treatment plan for me and has helped my pain decrease tremendously!

Fantastic experience: Dr.Jeff is the absolute best! Amazing work, trustworthy and honest. Best chiropractor I’ve ever been to. This place is legit.

Fantastic experience: They’re always friendly, and helpful. My pain improved with their treatment plan.

Fantastic experience: They’ve helped me through 2 simultaneous cervical hernias, as well as other issues. I can only say good things about the team here.

Fantastic experience: Along with regular back adjustments, I have started with Specific Health’s procedure for healing knee pain. Less invasive and perfect for relieving my stress and pain.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Dr Jeff Lavelle 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 suggetion 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. I tried various Chiropractorsiver the years. But my searching stopped after finding Specific Health. I think they are fabulous.

Fantastic experience: More than just adjustments, Specific Health focuses on long term care and overall comfort and healing. Both Dr's care about you and focus on your specific needs!

Fantastic experience: Front desk - and all staff - are friendly, welcoming and helpful. Dr. Jeff is so caring, knowledgeable and really listens to my concerns. I trust him to care for our whole family. Clean, calm environment. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: They have helped me so much Dr Jeff really is the best!
