Services
Spinal Adjustments
Our spinal adjustments restore proper alignment and mobility to relieve pain from injuries or chronic conditions. Using manual techniques including Diversified and Gonstead methods, we target specific vertebrae to reduce nerve interference and improve function. Patients experience relief from back pain, sciatica, and posture-related discomfort through this foundational chiropractic treatment.
Myofascial Release
This therapy addresses muscle and fascia restrictions causing pain and limited mobility. By applying sustained pressure to affected areas, we release tension from conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, sports injuries, and chronic pain. Combining this with chiropractic adjustments enhances overall treatment effectiveness and accelerates recovery.
Wellness Programs
Our wellness initiatives focus on maintaining optimal health beyond symptom relief through regular adjustments and lifestyle guidance. Patients learn strategies for posture improvement, stress management, and injury prevention tailored to their specific needs. These programs help sustain spinal health and nervous system function for long-term wellness benefits.
Headache Relief
Targeted treatments alleviate tension headaches and migraines by addressing spinal misalignments and muscle tension in the neck and upper back. Patients report significant improvement within weeks of starting care, often reducing reliance on medications. This approach tackles root causes rather than just masking symptoms.
Pregnancy Care
Specialized adjustments support maternal comfort throughout pregnancy by addressing posture changes and skeletal strain. Techniques like sacro occipital therapy help maintain pelvic alignment for improved birth outcomes. Regular care also reduces common discomforts like sciatica and lower back pain during pregnancy.

Dr. Lavelle is a great health care practitioner. He's attentive, agile in his decisions on your treatment plan and most importantly knows when (and who) to refer you to if you require care he isn't specialized in. He's very experienced, modifies his techniques to your particular needs for that visit and has always treated me with respect. Unlike other chiropractic practitioners Dr. Lavelle makes sure you get a well communicated and clear plan without excessive visits required for what I needed help with. (He's not the "McDonald's style" practice.) If you're looking for treatment in this modality

Ive been to so many chiropractors in my life and I have yet to find one that gives you as much attention and care as Dennis. He is very thorough and gives you a great understanding of how and what he is treating. We always have great conversation and my treatments are always productive. I highly recommend him.

Dennis is the most knowledgeable chiropractor around. He was able to identify and treat my issues immediately and allow me to return to my active lifestyle. If it wasnt for him I wouldn't have the quality of life that I do. I highly recommend him.
