What Patients are Saying…

Dianna

It’s always scarey to find a new doctor especially since I’d been going to the same one for a long time. I found Dr. Rob to be the doctor for my future in chiropractic care. I look forward to continued good health as we progress. Thanks for a great first visit!

Dr Rob, Nicole and Ollie were all attentive and caring of my needs. Dr Rob assessed my problems quickly and the adjustments I received were spot on. I felt immediate relief of the pain in my arm and also felt the over all wellness that chiropractic adjustments provide. I’m so glad I finally went to see him!

The type of work I do requires me to spend multiple hours behind a computer screen. Everyday I found myself having severe tension headaches. I would mask the pain by taking lots of ibuprofen throughout the day. I spoke with Dr. Rob about this and he explained that my headaches may be caused by a misaligned vertebrae.

Dr. Rob suggested I come into his office for an examination. I took Dr. Rob’s advice and immediately made an appointment. During my initial visit, Dr. Rob thoroughly explained how the vertebrae and nervous system interact and how chiropractic care can help a person live a much better life.

I was a little skeptical at first but I was willing to give it a try to get rid of my headaches. Since Dr. Rob has began adjusting me I rarely get anymore headaches and never need to take ibuprofen.

The only thing I regret is not seeing Dr. Rob earlier.

Life, after meeting Dr. Rob. I feel better than I have in 10 years!  I have been under chiropractic care on and off for most of my life. Between my back, neck hips, shoulders, something has always been, “not quite right” most of the time. I am a single mom and run a daycare so I do lots of lifting, bending, pulling, etc. I have spent the last five years trying to find someone who could correctly adjust my neck so that I wasn’t in constant pain on a daily basis. Dr. Rob is that guy.  I have never found a chiropractor that really listens like he does. When he adjusts me if it isn’t just right, (because my body seems to react differently than most) I can tell him and he fixes it, or I go back the next day after it’s had time to settle in and he adjusts it then.

He has given me exercises to do on a yoga ball, and that has made all the difference in the world in my adjustments staying in place. The exercises are easy and actually fun. He doesn’t “push” exercise, I asked him what I could do to make my adjustments lasts and he told me. The result is I feel better and my muscles are stronger and I make fewer trips to his office. Therefore my overall cost is less and I feel great most of the time!  His schedule is great. He stays late if I need him to, so I can go after work and even has offered to do a Sat if that’s the only time I could get there. He even went in to adjust me in the middle of a blinding snowstorm last winter, when everything else was closing down.  Dr. Rob is so passionate about what he does and is very knowledgeable on many different types of things regarding natural healing. He believes strongly in improving everyone’s quality of life. He is one of those guys who is trying to fix the world, one spine at a time!

I thank god for Dr. Rob!!

I have suffered from headaches and migraines my whole life. Within the last year the migraines increased in pain and I was having them more frequently. My doctor sent me to a neurologist who did some tests including a head CT only to come up with no real medical explanation for my migraines. Together we tested out medicines to help prevent my migraines and nothing seemed to work. That is when I started going to see Dr. Rob at Lavoie Chiropractic and I am so glad I did. Right from the beginning my migraines and headaches are less frequent and not as painful. Dr. Rob worked with me to relieve shoulder and neck tension (I have been carrying for years) which I believe was one of the reasons for my migraines. My body is so thankful and so I am. I never thought an adjustment could change my life but it has.

I appreciate your willingness to accommodate my busy schedule and life style. I appreciate you listening and having a genuine interest in my physical well being. I appreciate all of the trials, errors and new ideas you have been willing to try. You haven’t given up on wanting to help me. I most appreciate that!

Pete

My name is Pete B. and I am a small engine mechanic. After many months of turning wrenches and screwdrivers I developed a bad case of carpal tunnel. I had several test and the “only” option from the “specialist” was surgery. I thought to myself that there has to be another way. Well the great news is that there is another option. The option I found was Dr. Rob at Lavoie Chiropractic. He told me that the bones in my wrist that form the “tunnel” for the nerve flattened out and the nerve was being irritated. He adjusted my thumb and wrist bones to get the curve back. After three appointments, literally, I no longer felt the “pins and needles” and tingling in my fingers. I am able to honestly and wholeheartedly say that I have avoided surgery with the professional and knowledgeable help of Dr. Rob at Lavoie Chiropractic.

Thank you for seeking feedback from your patients. I see your request as another example of how much you care about assisting your patients improve their health.

When I come in for an appointment, I am greeted with your welcoming smile. You not only take the time needed to find out how I am feeling and ask what is going on health wise, but you also take additional time to offer solutions to a situation I am having difficulty with. You also take the time I need to relax in order to allow you to give me the best adjustment. I appreciate the personal attention, genuine concern and gentle approach I receive from you.

I am very grateful to have you as a guiding, integral person in getting myself truly healthy.

Tina

I came to you in excruciating pain, feeling hopeless, fearful that surgery was going to be the only expensive option available to me. Through your knowledge, compassion and patience, I developed faith and within 2 months was pain free. You don’t just treat the physical symptoms, you treat the spirit with the holistic, welcoming philosophical environment. Having a positive, accepting presence was as important in my healing process. I am grateful and will always go to you for my adjustments.

Dr. Lavoie has a sincere desire to help mankind. Numerous times, he has reached out to virtual strangers, in an effort to make their lives better. His care-giving skills have taught me how my body is affected by the myriad of social and environmental factors that take place in our day-to-day lives. His influence has taught me how to take better care of myself, and how I can give back to my fellow man. I have become a better person, mentally, physically, and spiritually, since I met him.

Thanks, Dr. Rob!

It has been almost two years since meeting you at the Portland Expo on Elders Day. After some thinking I took your offer for an exam. Heretofore I had been suffering with severe neck pain. It was so acute that I could not turn my neck without extreme pain. Conventional doctors suggested medication and hot packs.

I went to your office and was examined. You found the problem and treated it. Now with adjustments I can move my neck freely without medication and pain. For this I’m more than grateful.

Before I started seeing Dr. Rob, I had difficulty falling asleep at night and also got frequent headaches. I used to to think that chiropractic care was only for people with chronic back pain or for those who had injured their back in an accident. It was helpful to me when Dr. Rob willingly explained to me how I, too, could benefit from regularly getting adjusted. He made the concept interesting and easy to understand.

At first, I was skeptical and did not find it necessary to subject my body to this form of health care. When I made the decision to go see Dr. Rob for the first time, I was tense and nervous. Dr. Rob’s soothing nature helped me overcome my tension and within a few visits I was already experiencing the benefits of getting adjusted. The amount of time it takes me to fall asleep at night has significantly decreased. I have also experienced fewer headaches. After an adjustment, I feel the relief of built up tension. I believe these are all results Dr. Rob’s continuous genuine care. It has proven to be a tremendous help for me.
