Spinal adjustments after a clear exam

An adjustment is a tool, not the whole visit

At Rae Chiropractic the adjustment is the last step of a visit that started with listening. Dr. Michael D. Rae, DC wants the story of your pain, the pattern of your week, and a hands-on exam before he decides which joints need help.

Some patients need a lumbar focus. Others need cervical work that frees a stiff turn. Others need both, sequenced over a short series of visits. The choice comes from the findings, not from a preset package.

You should be able to repeat the plan in your own words before any thrust or mobilization. If you cannot, the visit is not finished explaining yet.

What precision looks like in Suite 203A

Dr. Rae adjusts the levels that failed motion testing. He is not interested in cracking every segment for theater. The goal is cleaner motion where the spine was stuck, then a calmer muscular response around that area.

Patients often notice the change in ordinary tasks first. Looking over the shoulder in the car. Standing up from a Boise restaurant chair. Sitting through a Monday meeting without hunting for a wall to lean on.

Between visits you get brief home guidance. Not a forty-page printout. A few moves and habits that protect the work done on the table.
