No
Did You Have Any Doubts That Chiropractic Would Help You?
It has been so many years now I don’t remember; I guess because Dan got adjusted I didn’t think so, I thought it would make a difference
What Recommendations Were Made by the Chiropractor?
I guess when I saw the x-rays and then I realized just how bad my back was I was really shocked and the damaged that I had done with it over the years by not having it adjusted was a real shocked and that I knew that he couldn’t make it completely go away but he makes it much more comfortable to live with
Describe Your Results, Including Time Involved:
It really has been amazing because I went from probably a big bottle of Tylenol a month to possibly one big bottle in 2 years so it really made a difference my headaches went away I used to have an catch when I breathed in my ribs and it wasn’t until I got adjusted I realized it was a rib out and so that’s all gone away I am much more comfortable walking now than I used to be so it has made a big difference.

I knew chiropractic would help
What Were Your First Impressions of Chiropractic, this Office and the Doctor?
(Laugh) he is appropriate he is professional, he has very good people skills he makes the patient relax and comfortable he is a little warped personally (Laugh) but I mean you know you take that a long with whatever.

Is Anyone Else in Your Family a Chiropractic Patient? If So, for What Conditions?
My brother
How Has Chiropractic Helped Them?
It has helped him out with a back that has a I think the whole vertebrae that is about twice the size that it should be it’s elongated his whole body. Dr. Bell told him the first time that he did the evaluation on him that he had the problem with the vertebrae and he asked him, “Is your mother fuss at you all your life for sitting on your spine “and he said “Yes how did you know” because that is the only way that you can possibly sit and be comfortable. And Jerry told him that, that was the only way that he could sit without his legs going numb. This vertebrae is like this wide from top to bottom he got a rather interesting looking x-ray if you ever see it
What Would You Recommend to Others Who Are Sick, Suffering or in Pain?
I have and I do
How Many Others Have You Told about Chiropractic?
Any body that will listen seriously
How Do You Feel about Chiropractic, Now That You Have Enjoyed its Benefits?
I think it is differently one of the best things that you can do for your health the medical doctor has his limitation just like chiropractic has its limitation it can’t take care of everything that is possibly wrong with you but it can take care of just about everything that is wrong with you. (She is a register nurse with many years of experience)
Gulia G.
Describe the Condition for Which You Consulted Your Chiropractor, Including:
My neck was always bothering me and my lower back. The pain was pretty well constant when I first came in they found that my neck was so straight that’s why I was having all the trouble that I was having with my lower back
Describe Previous Treatment and Results:
Everything that they did was not helping the neck situation.
Tell What Drugs And/or Medication You Were Taking, If Any, and If You Feared Addiction:
At times yes, that could be too (about being addicted) I never really thought about it
What Led to Your Decision to Try Chiropractic?
I had heard a lot about it and I decided that was a good way to go because I had gone to doctors and they were not really helping me
Had You Been to a Chiropractor Previously?
Yes I had and like I said all they did was jerk me around and popped my neck and that kind of thing
What Were Your First Impressions of Chiropractic, this Office and the Doctor?
I’ve enjoyed every bit of it when I came in they were very friendly and they wanted to really help
What Recommendations Were Made by the Chiropractor?
They took x-rays and found that the neck was very straight and that is why I was having all of the pain. So then we went onto a plan that would work for me
Describe Your Results, Including Time Involved:
Very good result I did forget to say that I had a lot of ear noises and when he put my neck back to where it should be the ear noises went away so I really felt that it was really beneficial to work with that plan
Is Anyone Else in Your Family a Chiropractic Patient? If So, for What Conditions?
Yes my husband gets adjusted also and he has had his back trouble for so many years that I think he waited to long to go into a plan
How Has Chiropractic Helped Them?
It is helping him some if he would come regularly why it really does a lot of good but sometimes he gets lazy and don’t want to come
What Would You Recommend to Others Who Are Sick, Suffering or in Pain?
Absolutely, I would
How Do You Feel about Chiropractic, Now That You Have Enjoyed its Benefits?
I think it is absolutely for any body that has any kind of back pain, neck pain anything I think they should really get into a plan to help because it does help
David H.
Describe the Condition for Which You Consulted Your Chiropractor, Including:
I came in for lower back stiffness and there was some degree of pain but mostly I couldn’t move my lower back. 8 months before I came in and saw the Doctor I tried letting it ride and see what happened but nothing did so eventually I came in and started working in chiropractor
Tell What Drugs And/or Medication You Were Taking, If Any, and If You Feared Addiction:
A lot of Advil’s, I was somewhat concern about the addiction but not really but yeah I was taken too many that was a for sure
What Led to Your Decision to Try Chiropractic?
Well my wife had been going to Dr. Goff for several years so it was like, I should have to try
Had You Been to a Chiropractor Previously?
No
Did You Have Any Doubts That Chiropractic Would Help You?
I didn’t know weather it would work or not but I was willing to try and see
What Were Your First Impressions of Chiropractic, this Office and the Doctor?
Well, I had been coming in with Sheryl for years so it’s like I already knew it’s a pretty good set up so I felt comfortable with that.
What Recommendations Were Made by the Chiropractor?
Just his adjustments I haven’t really been given any exercise routine or anything like that to go with it so its been mostly an ongoing thing but it’s been a lot better. I know I have improved a lot, I can move a lot more freely
Is Anyone Else in Your Family a Chiropractic Patient? If So, for What Conditions?
My wife Sheryl is
What Would You Recommend to Others Who Are Sick, Suffering or in Pain?
Yes I would recommend chiropractic to others
How Many Others Have You Told about Chiropractic?
Yes I have in my immediate family a couple of other friends perhaps half a dozen people in all and it’s been overall positive for me
How Do You Feel about Chiropractic, Now That You Have Enjoyed its Benefits?
It is more confirmed beliefs the alternatives were going for physical therapy routine that is what one doctor had suggested was that and then he suggested taking even more Ibuprofen which I was not going to do that I know how that goes if your just taking medications to hide the pain it is not actually helping anything your just masking symptoms. I hardly take painkiller I don’t like to take anything I don’t take cold medication no pain medications. I worked myself over pretty severely skiing last week and then I came in on Monday and I was pretty maligned and I felt a lot better after I left and as a couple of days more I said oh okay yeah I am getting it back together again where I know my recovery time if I hadn’t come in and seen Dr. Goff it would have been significantly longer.
Maxine B.
Describe the Condition for Which You Consulted Your Chiropractor, Including:
Well for a long time. I couldn’t bend down 11 years ago and I could not feed my dog and I had a terrible time so I went to one of these health places and met him there
Describe Previous Treatment and Results:
I came here I went to an examination and in 2 days I was able to feed my animals but I didn’t quit there because you don’t quit or you revert back to the way you were if you don’t complete the treatment
What Would You Recommend to Others Who Are Sick, Suffering or in Pain?
Well, if they want to live as long as I have lived I think they need a chiropractor and they need treatment regularly because waiting for your back to go or something to go out that’s to late you need to do it before those things happen
How Do You Feel about Chiropractic, Now That You Have Enjoyed its Benefits?
I think they are good in everything they do. I tell you if you go to Dr. Goff he’s the best, don’t go to anybody else.
