Good Chiropractic and Wellness Center

I’ve been going to Jim for about a year and a half now. My job in the medical field is very hard on my back. For years I have tried many different chiropractors and he is by far the best! I look forward to our appointments as there is always good conversation; I always leave feeling a couple inches taller and pain is gone! Sometimes just by watching me walk through the door he can tell which part of me is misaligned. He is accommodating, will fit you in even with a busy schedule. He is my body’s best investment and money well spent! Thank you Jim!

I was surprised that Jim (James) Good was the greeter /​receptionist at the door when I walked into my first appointment! Genuine and eager to build a relationship maybe? Yes. We introduced ourselves and right off the bat we started talking to each other as new friends, not just an awkward Joe-​Shmoe patient-​Dr. visitation. To me he looked to be 6’7″ 250lbs and 100% teddy bear. Nicest dude with a soft touch (not gonna lie thought he was gonna crush me initially.)
Being in the business for nearly 20 years he really knows his stuff. I brought in a paper packet of X-​rays to show, and before he even looked at them he told me what my pain was just by feel and sight. Sure enough his evaluation matched up with what my X-​Rays portrayed exactly. Incredible. On a side note — he also pointed out that my X-​ray book was a huge marketing scheme with a bunch of verbiage by my previous practitioner and said that the «first 7 pages were bulls**t!» A relief to know that Dr. Good speaks mounds of truth and is not here to wipe your wallet clean due to a $ 2,500 treatment plan. Of course after that he jokingly noted «well… maybe I need to raise my rates!»
He squeezed in a 45 minute session on the first visit. Hearing and feeling the difference. Talking to me every step of the way to make sure I was doing well and not on the verge of passing out. He explained the terminology on how the spine functions in all it’s vertebrae glory. Come to find out my left shoulder was higher the my right, my right hip and leg was longer then my left by 1″ and my limbs weren’t rotating fully! Corrected everything on the spot and I felt sooo much better. After the visit he did not pressure me into coming back 3 times a week, I freely walked out the door after my co-​pay. However I will be going back to Jim periodically because he is that GOOD! ;)

I was suffering tremendous pain from sciatica for several days and had a business trip coming up and the thought sitting on a flight followed by two days of sitting through meetings finally made me decide to see a Chiropractor. I had seen a Groupon like deal a couple years ago and read all of the reviews here and thought this sounds like the perfect Chiropractor, not one of those that schedule way too many visits, not one that claims to be able to treat every malady under the sun, etc. Just an honest and great Chiropractor.
I was able to get in before my trip and get adjusted and the results were amazing, I felt 90% better afterwards. I could now walk and sit without too much pain, though standing still was still an issue.
I was able to make the flights without discomfort as well as the two all day meetings.
I scheduled another visit after my return as recovery was slipping just a bit and another adjustment helped once again.
In the previous bout of sciatica I had, I suffered for months, was prescribed three types of drugs, went through physical therapy and it took months to get me where that first visit to Dr. Good got me.
As my friends would tell you, I am a skeptic, but there is no Phooe Hooe here, just great care

I have been going to Dr. Good for the past 15 years! I think that says a LOT! I even got my skeptic husband to to go and now he’s hooked! Not only do I leave in less pain than when I went in, but the visits are always filled with sarcastic banter. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

I’ve been going to Dr. Good for fifteen years. I drive from San Francisco because he’s…that «Good». Sorry had to do it.
I appreciate that he integrates cranial sacral with some activator, drop table, traditional, etc.
I didn’t know that the cranial bones can shift and even effect mood. When I first went to him, he showed me in a mirror how one eye was higher than the other and after the adjustment, all lined up.
He’s grounded and realistic about «alternative medicine».
Friday I went in while I had a stiff neck. I’d never been adjusted when I couldn’t actually turn my head, so you can imagine I was scared and guarded. Can’t believe I left with zero pain and full range of motion. The adjustment never engaged my neck muscles so there was no reason for me to be scared of the pain.
Other chiropractors just don’t adjust you from your toes to your uh, eyes. Or at least the way he does.
Oh and he’s a tremendous human being as well.
Go! Dr. Good=Great!

Been coming to Good Chiropractic for several years now! I wouldn’t go anywhere else! Jim is great! A+++

I’m adding yet another 5-​star review to Jim’s Unilocal page.
He’s great: Excellent adjustments. And I like the way he has his office set up — you call or email ahead (his reception/​anwering service is offsite), go in at your appointment time and he’s ready for you. I’ve only ever had to wait a couple minutes at the most, and that’s usually because he’s saying goodbye to the patient before me. He’s in a common «hive» type of office, with other health practitioners. He also doesn’t want to pressure you into getting a lot of unnecessary adjustments. Very low-​key and amiable: He also happens to be a great chiropractor!
Highly recommend.

Dr. Good is great!
I have been gong to chiropractors since I was an infant. I constantly have problems but I have found that most chiropractors do the same routine no matter what is wrong. As of the last few years, for whatever reason, I have been harder to adjust. My neck won’t align or my upper back won’t pop and the chiropractors just move on.
When I came to see Jim I had been having back pain for five months and the other chiropractors couldn’t solve the issue. It would seem to move from one location to another. Dr. Good assessed me and knew all the trouble areas without me even pointing them out and a few more that I couldn’t even feel. He didn’t give up when the areas didn’t adjust, just used different methods until I was fully aligned. He found ribs out, my shoulders out, my neck, my hip, my lower back, my upper back and my wrist and ankle. He would measure and remeasure to make my bones were where it needed to be. I felt better immediately.
Since I go on my lunch hour, it is important for me to get treated fast. I don’t need an ice pack or a massage. Dr. Good had me processed and out the door within 20 minutes and my next visit will be even shorter with the paperwork out of the way.
It was hands down best visit of all time.

I have been to a couple chiropractors. I really enjoy visiting Jim. Er. I mean Dr. Good. I have sciatica pain and my lower back couldn’t be touched for years. Within the first visit he narrowed down my problem area. Within a couple weeks he was able to put pressure on my lower back and start cutting back on my visits. No chiropractor or doctor has been able to figure out in over 10 years how to alleviate this pain!
Many in the industry treat the checkbook. Dr. Good treats the patient. If your body doesn’t require coming in, then he doesn’t try to convince you that you need to come in. I found this very respectable in a business.
Most of all, Dr. Good has a good sense of humor. I enjoy our chats while I am there. It’s like going to have coffee with a friend when I go in for an appointment. It makes for an all around great visit.

I have been going to Dr. Good for almost 6 years and he is an amazing chiropractor! Whether I am in pain or just coming in for a general adjustment, I always leave feeling better than when I came in.
Dr. Good takes his time to really uncover what is going on and is gentle when he makes the adjustments.

I definitely recommend Dr. Good! There’s no pressure to buy costly packages or sessions and he’s such a great guy. Every time I need an adjustment it’s so easy to get in and then go on with my day feeling so much better

Dr Good is awesome! I first went to him the first time after the birth of my son. My back was really sore and I had gone to a local orthopedic place after my OB suggested it might be my legs or something. They took xrays and then suggested a $ 300 MRI (out of pocket). Soooo… i left & went to Dr. Good through a friends suggestion. He FIXED me in under 20 min. I was able to get off the floor without hurting, I could breathe again without pain. He’s great! :)

I was a reck when I showed up to Dr. Good’s office! He is a miracle worker. I had neck and shoulder problems for two weeks that would not go away and Dr. Good fixed me up in 15 minutes. He is extremely professional, knows what he’s doing and is very affordable.

I began visiting Dr. Good about a year ago after several family members talked me into chiropractic care. I am an aircraft mechanic and my back pain had always been an issue.
On my first visit, Dr. Good stood me in front of a mirror and pointed out one misalignment after another after another… I was amazed how crooked I was. He is honest, knowledgeable and very skilled at what he does. The office has plenty of seating, including a very nice massage chair. I would often show up early to take advantage of the calf massager… ahhhh.
I have recently moved out of state, but would strongly recommend Good Chiropractic.

I was introduced to Dr. Good by Kathleen Beaulieu. After having an epidural for a boulging disc, my pain had a temporary recovery that lasted only 6 months. When the pain came back, I wanted a better solution rather than taking pain killers and anti-​inflamatories or another epidural as recommended by my spinal doctor. First of all, I had a ½ treatment with Kathleen and then she recommended me to see Dr. Good for some neck and back adjustment. His treatment worked and I fill better than I was two weeks ago. He is very good at what he does and you don’t have to have endless visits to feel better. He talks and explains what he is doing and he knows how to treat your back when you have a boulging disc. Not many chiropractors are as careful as Dr. Good is.
Thank you!!! I saw him today because my back and shoulders were hurting and he did his magic again!

I highly recommend Dr. Good to anyone that is looking for a great doctor. I have known Dr. Good for almost 20 years, since our days in college. Even then Jim was my go to person for treatments and care. I have referred many people in the Pleasanton area to Dr. Good because I know that they will receive the best care possible.
I practice in Walnut Creek and I still make it a point to see Dr. Good on a regular basis, he’s that good.
4 stars only because he makes me drive so far :)

Hands down THE BEST chiropractor I have ever been to in my life!
I have seen many chiropractors over the years and always felt like I was just a number. That is until I met Dr. Good. Dr. Good is amazing! He is very gentle and knows the body extremely well. He cares about his patients and does not overbook his schedule so there is no waiting for him to be done with other patients which is very nice.
Most chiropractors do the same treatments and adjustments to every person every time, not with Dr. Good. Dr. Good treats what is wrong with the body each and every time so I know that I am getting the very best care possible.
I have been seeing Dr. Good for YEARS and see him on a weekly basis just to keep my body moving freely and out of pain.
If you need a doctor that will care about you as a person and not as a number then go see Dr. Good. If you want someone who is very in tune with the body and what is going on and how to fix it, then go to see Dr. Good.
I have referred many friends to Dr. Good and every one of them is very impressed with him and his treatments. I can not speak highly enough of Dr. Good, he is a true healer.

I was introduced to Good Chiropractic by my coworker after wasting so much $$$ on other chiropractics and my problem still persist. After my first treatment with Dr. Good, that was it, i was convinced that he’s fixed my problem. I had neck and shoulder pain and sometimes the pain is unbearable, though, only with 3 appointments, I’m good to go. I only come back once a while for follow up. The best thing about Good Chiropractic is that you won’t have to spend ridiculous $$ to start a treatment, there won’t be any treatment plan or xray… etc…to rob your out of pocket money like other places always do. Dr. Good really is just in it for your pain and take only that away from you.

When I started working in the Pleasanton area, a coworker noticed I get frequent migraines. She suggested I come with her to see her chiropractor. It took some coaxing, but I eventually made an appointment to see Dr. Good. I wish I’d done it sooner!
Dr. Good was very thorough with his initial exam, explaining to me what he was noticing particularly with my neck and spine, and explaining why they could contribute to such awful headaches. I didn’t have a migraine on the first day I went to see him, but I have on a few occasions. Most of the time, I feel great relief from these migraines immediately after he works his magic. Other times it only takes an hour or so to start feeling the difference.
I have stopped getting migraines quite so frequently, and although I do get them from time to time, I am certain that I am seeing results from the visits to Dr. Good.
He has a great sense of humor, and is very personable. One of the friendliest (and most effective) doctors I’ve ever been to. If you’ve got a chronically sore back, neck, or head, you owe it to yourself to see him.

I’ve been going to Jim for almost 3 years now. He is an amazing chiro and knows exactly how other bones out of place in your body affect one another. Often my back or neck issue, is due to another bone that’s out of alignment and because he adjusts all of your body, not just your back; I no longer have the horrific knee pain I did when I began seeing him. I’d gone to an orthopedic for years to try and figure out why my right knee always hurt so badly. All along is was because my knee cap was out of alignment and Jim was the first and only doc to figure it out.
He also works with you if your insurance will only pay for a certain number of visits per year. He is more concerned with your health and well being, than he is about what an insurance company says.
Jim Good is a very knowledgeable chiro and I recommend him highly!
