Chiropractic Services

We pride ourselves in providing our patients with competent and quality chiropractic care. We feel the first visit is one of the most important aspects of patient care. The first visit is often the longest (around 60 minutes). It includes patient intake forms, history interview with the doctor, physical exam, and treatment when warranted. Although we do not have an x-ray suite onsite, if x-rays are needed we will make the proper referral.

Godin & Hausmann Family Chiropractic will offer competent, personal chiropractic services in the diagnosis and treatment of chiropractic conditions. The patients may receive services that include but are not limited to:

COMPLETE HISTORY

HANDS-ON ADJUSTING TECHNIQUES
Performed with the doctor using his/her hands to move a joint either in the spine or extremities. This will permit the joints to move properly, therefore allowing the movements through the joints to be of sound biomechanics, thus decreasing any unnecessary muscle tension, inflammation, or joint irritation.
