“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 to my regular self.”
“That was my first experience with chiropractic,” continues Dr. Lavoie. “Chiropractic treatment helped with my back problems as well as my overall health and well being.”
“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. He received his Doctorate in Chiropractic from Palmer College in Davenport, Iowa. He obtained the postgraduate designation of Certified Chiropractic Sports Practitioner and is currently working towards his Diplomate of the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians.
After graduating in 2004, Dr. Lavoie returned to Maine and held two associate positions in Scarborough and Falmouth before opening his own practice in 2006. The clinic outgrew its location two times before finding its current location in the historic Charlotte Millett Home.
“My passion is people, I love learning from people and helping them any way I can.” When Dr. Lavoie is not caring for patients you can find him volunteering, cycling, enjoying the outdoors, spending time with his wife Amanda, and their two children, Alexandra and Louie. Dr. Lavoie is an active board member and Chair of the Greater Portland chapter of the New England Mountain Bike Association, as well as, chairperson of Gorham’s Conservation Commission.
