Dr. Bill Trevens admits he too was a skeptic at first! I did not think that chiropractic care was an option for me for my pain, let alone that people actually went to a Specific Chiropractor to prevent future health problems or take care of current health issues. Was I in for a learning experience that would change the course of my life!

Adjustments done are not specific to target areas of pain. No change since day one and I've been going for months and still mentioned pain during "last visit". Dr. Trevens said no more adjustments needed even though pain was clearly still there. I had a couple movement tests done and my "last visit" there was no test done to show change, no X-rays done to show change.

No information is ever given. I've heard patients ask questions and they all get the same answers. The answer given never explains patient specific needs, he just says you're locked we're going to unlock the area.

Very happy with the care provided by Dr. Bill Trevens. I had struggled for years (decades) with neck and back issues, and though previous chiropractic care had given me some temporary relief I was't getting better. Now under Dr. Trevens, I feel like I am actually healing. He is the only Chiropractor I have found that can consistently get my head back on straight (so to speak) when needed. Such a different experience then any other Chiropractic office I had been to previously. Friendly helpful staff that is dedicated to patient wellness.

After being told by multiple neurologists that there was "nothing I could do about my post-concussive symptoms" the worst of which is vertigo, I took a chance based on some research regarding holistic health options. I am so grateful that I found Dr. Trevens. In the span of a few months I am re-calibrating to my "new normal" with notable improvements.

He is attentive and kind - "great bed-side manner" which puts me at ease. He also listens and is genuinely interested in my holistic health. Colleen has gone above an beyond in helping to schedule and work with my insurance. She is kind and always cheerful. The office space is welcoming and clean, very professional. If you are in need of an adjustment, this is the place!

I really enjoy going to Specific Chiropractic is Watertown. The staff are really friendly and the office is very comfortable. They even have the occasional bowl of Swedish fish; I do chiropractic as a means of general wellness. Dr. Trevens approach is conservative and gentle. You'll will only get an adjustment at a visit if your body needs one at that time.

If you are in a state of a good health and communication between the spinal cord and the brain, they do not interrupt the process.and if you do need an adjustment, the truth is in how you feel after!

Highly recommend Dr. Trevens. He has provided excellent treatment for a whiplash injury I suffered in a car accident. He is great about explaining how the treatment works and what to expect throughout the entire process. He had recommended lots of great stretches and exercises that have been just as important to my recovery as the adjustments. Additionally, Colleen at the front desk is great to work with. She is very friendly and professional. I have canceled or rescheduled appointments at the last minute several times and never had an issue.

Dr Bill has nearly eradicated my debilitating headaches and has been a great source for information on living a healthier lifestyle. He's kind and compassionate and Colleen is an utter delight. She's phenomenal at managing my appointments and always greets me with a smile. I'm so thankful for Trevens and refer so many to this practice.

Amazing, amazing chiropractor! I'm a fellow chiropractor on the North shore, and I drive 75 minutes each way to see Dr. Trevens. And it's worth every minute! He has helped me in ways that countless other skilled chiropractors were unable to. I've also sent many people to Trevens Specific for care and they have all been incredibly happy with the care they received. I highly, highly recommend this office!

After moving to the area, I had a hard time finding a new chiropractor that addressed my chronic neck issues and migraines. I was referred to Dr. Trevens by a friend and have been under treatment for nearly a year. Dr. Trevens and his entire staff have been fantastic! My neck pain and headaches are once again under control, without pain medication and I have an overall feeling of better health. I would definitely recommend Trevens Specific for anyone looking for a great chiropractor in the area.

I can't recommend this place enough! I've been coming for a few years now and every time I walk in I'm greeted so warmly. Colleen is such a wonderful person and look forward to seeing her when I walk through the door. Dr. Bill has magic hands and every time I get an adjustment I am so relaxed! I sleep better at nights since I've been going and I find I have more energy. This place is the best!

I've been coming to Dr. Trevens for almost 2 years, and it has been a huge help. As a chronic "neck-cracker, " I've been to chiropractors before, but never one that practices specific chiropractic. Since starting with Dr. Trevens, I no longer feel the need to constantly crack my neck. I've also seen relief from seasonal allergies, migraine headaches, and overuse injuries.

I was also just recently in a car accident, and Dr. Trevens has treated me for whiplash as well. He also doesn't adjust every time--only when I need it! And the atmosphere is great. Colleen, the office manager, is friendly and welcoming. I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a chiropractor in Watertown!

I've been going to specific chiropractic in Watertown for 6 months now and it has been amazing. As a athlete growing up I've had a lot of injuries and mixed with being in multiple car accidents I found my way to Dr. Bill Trevens. Since seeing him I have had a tough of pressure relieved in my neck and shoulders. I have also seen improvement in my curvature of my neck. I highly recommend to anyone that is dealing with any type of neck pain and just wants to improve there quality of life.

I have been going to doctor Trevens for 10 years. I started going to dr Bill after i had a neck injury. My father recommend that i see dr bill as he specializes in what i needed. I love how I can be in and out in 30 minutes if I need an adjustment, shorter if I do not need one. I travel an hour one way just to see him. I never believed in chiropractors before and he is the only one I trust to give me an adjustment. If you have migraines, neck pain or lower back pain doctor Trevens is the one to see

Finding Dr. Bill Trevens was an absolute homerun! He is the best! I have had upper back pain for close to 20 years and, more recently, I developed an inner ear issue. I tried everything and devoted significant amounts of time and money to so many remedial measures - acupuncture, physical therapy, traditional chiropractic visits, orthopedic specialists, etc., without results.

I have a very demanding corporate job that requires significant travel and the pain was beginning to interfere with my productivity, which led me to research other types of treatment. My experience with Dr. Trevens has been extremely positive. He is incredibly experienced and so careful with his treatment. The specialized level of care and attention that I have received from Dr. Trevens and his staff (Colleen is fantastic!) is truly unparalleled.

He also has great recommendations with respect to strengthening exercises and things that I can be doing between visits to work toward correcting my situation. I have 100% confidence in all of his recommendations. I experienced relief almost immediately and continue to work with him on maintaining a healthy, pain-free existence. I highly recommend Dr. Trevens and his team!

We started bringing out daughter who is 5 and has global delay because of a metabolic disorder. She was only pulling up to stand when we started and within a few weeks she was walking with assistance. Now, three months later she is almost walking on her own! The staff is wonderful and very friendly. She loves going to see Dr. Bill!

Short version: Before I went to Trevens Specific, my back would regularly stab me with pain, which would put me out of commission for several days. This has totally ceased. Back pain, stiffness and "stabbing/pinching" in lower back has vanished. I can now work out harder, longer and without fear of injury at the gym. I feel great! I can say with conviction that the process they use to help you works, and works very well. Longer version: 3 years ago, I went running and sprinting.

By the end of the sprint, my lower back became incredibly stiff. I was walking somewhat hunched over. I could barely move my lower back, and going up and down stairs a flight of 8 stairs took 3 minutes - longer to get in and out of bed. It was awful. I scheduled an appointment with Trevens Specific after reading their positive reviews. A few days later, they received me and explained in detail what was happening with my body.

They performed the adjustment, which was euphoric. I literally felt half my face come back to life, and some very pleasant feelings throughout my body. Most importantly, my back pain/stiffness - was INSTANTLY gone - POOF! I couldn't believe it. The process was so simple, quick and painless, and I experienced immediate relief. I am now a regular patient in their care.

I can't say enough good things about the practice. Important: You must keep in mind that chiropractic care is a long-term investment. Although you may experience some immediate and remarkable improvement in the first few appointments as I did, you can't expect long-term, stable results if you only go once or twice. You must stick with regular adjustments and monitoring if you want the best results.

The service has been a game changer and can be for you, too. If you are skeptical, then ask yourself - how is your skepticism helping your body pain? Call Trevens Specific today and schedule an appointment. You will be very pleased.

Trevens Chiropractic was kind, convenient, and accommodating. The treatment was quick and the Dr. was kind. However, the reason for my low rating is because of the unfortunate consequences of my treatment. I went in because I have constant pain in my left shoulder blade region up into the left side of my neck. Dr. Trevens was confident his adjustments could help this problem and chronic foot pain I had been experiencing for the past 5 years.

After seeing the dr. for multiple adjustments/week for about a month I noticed no improvement. Worse still I started having split second blackouts-dizziness when I turned my head sideways. These very disconcerting episodes lasted for about 4 months before finally subsiding. I'll be very cautious/will never get these type of cervical adjustments again. Proceed with caution.

Bulging Discs in my Neck. An appointment at Trevens Specific Chiropractic is like visiting an old friend. They are professional, friendly and compassionate in how they treat their patients. Appointments are easy to get and easy to reschedule if necessary. I initially visited Trevens Specific Chiropractic over ten years ago based on a referral from a friend.

I was suffering from two bulging disks in my neck that were causing extreme pain, tingling and numbness in my shoulder, arm and hand. I was in pain 24 hours a day until I went to Dr. Trevens. After an initial x-ray and consultation I began my treatment plan and in three weeks I was pain free! Now I go to the office for periodic maintenance check ups to ensure that my neck remains healthy, maintains its full range of movement and I have no pain from nerve interference. My health insurance covers my checkups too! I highly recommend considering this chiropractic practice for a non-invasive solution to your health issues.

Positive Changes for my life. I've been to about six or seven chiropractors, tons of massage therapists, and even two acupuncturists (I'm 46 years young), and I'm lucky I "found" this place! Although I'm not a doctor and can't explain EXACTLY how or why I'm feeling better and better, I understand and believe the GOAL of what's to be accomplished by Dr. Bill, and not only am I feeling better, but I'm getting better!!

I've told my brother and other family members about this place (so has my wife, at work etc..) She knows that I'm a tough critic, and I MUST be feeling better, otherwise I would have found another place to go. My wife and 10-month-old daughter now go to see Dr. Bill Trevens. My wife also has been feeling better in so many ways and is so happy that she's decided to go. I thank God that I've met Dr. Bill and his staff; they are also all so nice! Going here has really has changed my life into a more positive direction than ever before.

Excellent Care at Trevens Specific Chiropractic. I have been to many different offices for chiropractic care, over the past 20 years. Working with the staff at Trevens Specific Chiropractic, I have received excellent care, and I noticed the difference right away! They worked with me specifically for my needs and re-evaluate those needs all the time. I used to have constant discomfort, and now it is rare that I have any. You will be happy working with this team to have a healthy future.

Trevens Specific Chiropractor is nothing like any other doctor I have been to!! Dr. Bill and his staff are courteous and professional. I fracture my tailbone last March, I had severe pain in my lower back and migraines that started after my fall. I couldn't do anything without taking a pain pill!!! When I went to see Dr. Bill for the first time, he told me that my right leg was shorter than my left leg about 1 1/2 inches and my hip was twisted!!!

I was happy that finally I knew what was happening to my body, I knew something was wrong and when I spoke about it with my primary care the only thing I got was pills.

Dr. Bill put me at ease, he explained in details what went wrong with my body and what he was going to do to put my hip in place and have my body go back to normal.I know that the only reason I'm not disable is because of Dr. Bill and his magic touch. Thank you Trevens Specific Chiropractor!

I'm so glad I found Trevens Specific Chiropractic 7 years ago. They've helped me recover from several low back injuries, and vastly improved my quality of life. Dr. Trevens and Dr. Wright really take the time to listen to you, explain what they're doing, and monitor your progress. Their office staff is also always kind and professional. I recommend them highly!
