Patient Forms

Upon entering our office, our receptionist will  welcome you as a member of our family.  We will request that you complete our  patient forms located in the New Patient Center. This paperwork provides us with your health history and information on your condition.

Consultation

Next, you will have a consultation with Dr. John Godfrey to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and potential treatment options. This initial visit is designed for Dr. John Godfrey to learn more about you, your condition, and  expectations to determine how chiropractic care can meet your goals.

Examination

After your consultation, Dr. Godfrey will perform a complete chiropractic examination. Standard neurological, orthopedic, postural, and physical tests will be performed. In most cases, you will remain in your street clothes - NO EMBARRASSING PATIENT GOWNS!!.

X-Ray Studies

Depending on your specific condition, we may take X-rays as well. X-rays help us develop  the most effective treatment plan for you, and alert us of  any serious spinal conditions. Most people are amazed once they see their X-rays up close. In some cases, they can even identify their misalignments and degeneration themselves.

Dr. Godfrey will now need time to study your x-rays and correlate all of the information gathered during this visit, so he can determine what is wrong, what needs to be done, and answer all of your questions.  If your first visit is scheduled during our morning hours, Dr. Godfrey may suggest returning later in the afternoon for your second visit.  If this is not possible, Dr. Godfrey may administer a relief treatment (usually very gentle stretching) and will give you instructions for home care until your second visit.
