Introducing Gorham Chiropractor Dr. Robert Lavoie
"As I crawled into the chiropractor's office I remember thinking... How in the world is this guy going to help me? After two weeks of care, I was back playing sports."
"That was my first experience with chiropractic," continues Dr. Lavoie. "Not only did chiropractic help with my back problems it helped with my chronic allergies and infections. Before that point I was plagued with tonsillitis and allergies to just about everything. As I continued chiropractic care, my allergies got better and I was getting tonsillitis less frequently."
"After experiencing such positive results and the results my family and friends were getting I knew I wanted to become a chiropractor. It was simple, I wanted to help people the same way chiropractic helped me."
Dr. Lavoie completed his undergraduate education at the University of Maine at Fort Kent and Orono. After completing his studies there, he was accepted at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. During his four years at Palmer courses included biochemistry, a major emphasis on anatomy and human physiology, radiology, diagnosis, chiropractic adjusting techniques and patient care in the Palmer College Outpatient Clinic.
After early completion of his clinic requirements, Dr. Lavoie was able to take part in Palmer's Clinic Abroad & Humanitarian Program. The program brings free chiropractic care to third-world countries and Dr. Lavoie traveled to the Amazon in Brazil. There he and other Palmer interns delivered care to over 6,500 poverty stricken Brazilians.
After graduating, Dr. Lavoie returned to Maine to complete an additional internship. He then held two associate positions in Scarborough and Falmouth before opening his own practice in 2006.
