I first went to the offices of specific chiropractic and saw Shane Smith about 15 years ago. After several visits on a weekly basis, I found I was no longer having the pain issues in my neck. During the following years, I would usually get an adjustment, maybe once a year, but after having had neck pain consistently for a long time, it is no longer a problem for me. I was always treated with great kindness and respect, and came to actually enjoy my visits, even though they are now a few and far between.

So glad I found this group. The care received is so different than other chiropractors. I highly recommend them.

I have dealt with chronic pain for over 25 years due to many issues such as lower back pain and neck/shoulder pain. In 2013 I went to UCSF Medical Center for major neck surgery. The surgeon fused 6 bones, put in two permanent rods and 14 screws. The surgery helped eliminate the intense headaches and neck pain, however, it then caused muscle pain, scared tissue and inflammation that I will have the rest of my life. Dr. Shane has worked on keeping my vertebrae in alignment for the past two and a half years. He understands I will need help with pain management the rest of my life and he has been instrumental in keeping my pain level very low. Dr. Shane has also used his Soft Wave machine on the areas of my body that have inflammation and scared tissue such as my neck, shoulders and lower back. He's so knowledgeable when it comes to pain relief and offering a vast knowledge in regards to nutrition to also help my body heal. I am so grateful I have a Professional such as Dr. Shane on my side to help me live as normal a life as possible with minimal pain!

I have been going to Dr. Shane and his colleagues, Dr Jeremy and Dr. Jason for three years. The medical approach for the upper cervical treatment area is non-invasive and effective in my case, IMMEDIATELY. It helped alleviate years of strain on my body after sitting at an office job for over 12 years and improved my posture and my cognitive well being. If you are to go in and receive attention from your regular doctor, do not be alarmed. A key cornerstone of this organization is consistency through every professional to their patients. When being treated by The Specfic, be prepared to be welcomed by professionals who have your interest first and foremost and not their billings for the month. You will come to realize these gentlemen are here for you as a human being and they will do everything within their power to alleviate any pain and teach you how to heal your body.

I'm a bit confused on where to begin with " My experience " with Specific. When I called initially, I think I canceled because it all sounded too good to be true. OH! & I was surprised to be texting with Rea, the receptionist not not A.I. bot. Also, it's only fair to include the fact that I currently, since March 1st, 2008 have five (5) vertebrae fused together in my lower back. T5 thru L4 w/8 screws & 2 rods. The only issue that has arisen from that is whether to have them removed or not. I was also not sure if I was able to make a financial decision, or keep my end of the decision is a more honest way of putting it. It's has to this day NEVER came up.👈 this also is an untrue statement because I can recall asking Dr. Jason where we were financially & his response was, "I have it written down Donnie." I am not at liberty to say what the terms were but I think I can get away with saying at no point in my relationship with Dr. Jason, Dr. Shane & Rea the receptionist not an AL bot has ANY energy been wasted on wealth over health. These folks are the real deal! They'll give it to you straight . If they can benefit YOU or if they cannot They'll point you in the direction they feel would help YOU. If you've been fortunate enough to meet them or seen their vids on social media. They really are here to help, I experience it. & if you're on the fence for any reason. Go ahead & fall off on the side of Specific Chiropractic. I promise you, it won't hurt any more than you already do.

The Specific Chiropractic and Dr. Shane Smith literally changed my life. Before starting my treatments, I was told by a medical doctor that they couldn’t tell me why I was still aching from head to toe, my thyroid levels (with medication) were normal. I knew that if I continued on that path that I would be put on more medications and then more for side effects. I was having inflammation flare ups that would put me in bed for whole days and no one could tell me why. I started my treatments with Dr. Shane Smith and then he did blood workups that educated me in my gut health. He guided me by helping me do the research on diet and exercise. I did a cleanse that he recommended and that started me on my journey that has resulted in amazing blood tests that prove the success of the Chiropractic treatments and diet. Dr. Smith goes over and explains the results of the tests and guides me in my research for a better diet for me, he also congratulates me in my success. I enjoy going to their office, both Dr. Smith and Dr. Gonzales are a joy to be around and so supportive. If you want to take control of your health, this office is the place to start.

Visited Dr.Jason following my first accident. Not enough good things to say about him and his staff. Dr. Jason is thorough and accommodating. He takes the time to ensure you have a great experience and explains adjustments / process along the way. He even went over and beyond to recommend footwear, best practices and more! I highly recommend this chiropractic center! They will surely take care of you! Trust you are in good hands here.

Best chiropractor in town! I was having back pain pretty consistently and while other doctors were telling me I need to stop lifting and treating my back like it’s fragile, Dr. Jason actually got to the root of the problem. He not only fixed my back pain but also showed me stretches and exercises that I use to keep my back healthy and strong all while still going about my normal life and workout routine.

Every visit was great! Thought I was going to be scared, but it was definitely worth it. The adjustments that I got helped me tremendously

Upper Cervical Chiropractic

The difference in care at The Specific is simple, yet powerful. The results we get are often life changing. We aim to fix the underlying problem, not just manage the symptoms.

Upper cervical chiropractic care is not new. This specialized type of care has a long track record of getting lasting results when the more common approaches have failed. The care is designed to restore proper function to the central nervous system, the master control system for the whole body.

Using computerized infrared thermography and biomechanical x-rays we focus on the unique relationship between the top two bones of the spine and the central nervous system. Upper cervical chiropractors are the only type of doctors that carefully and precisely evaluate and, when necessary, adjust the upper neck, a place often overlooked by traditional doctors.

We often hear from our new patients say:

“I feel like I’ve tried everything. I’ve been told I’m just going to have to learn to live with it.”

If you haven’t tried Specific upper cervical care then you haven’t tried everything.
