What the exam assesses
The Root-Cause Exam collects your history and a focused physical assessment to identify spinal alignment issues and muscle patterns contributing to discomfort. When clinically indicated, digital X-rays are used to clarify structural alignment in the neck and lower back so the clinician can explain likely contributors to your symptoms in plain language.
This assessment is designed to locate likely contributors — posture, joint position, and muscle tension — so the massage and any follow-up care are informed by those findings. It does not promise a cure; instead it provides evidence a clinician uses to prioritize next steps and practical relief strategies.
How massage is targeted
The massage portion follows the exam and focuses on the sore muscles and tension patterns identified during assessment. In a 30-minute session the practitioner concentrates on areas that are limiting mobility or amplifying pain, using pressure and techniques appropriate to the findings to help reduce local muscle guarding and improve comfort.
Because this is a concise treatment, the approach favors efficiency: reduce immediate tension, improve range enough to reassess, and create clearer signals for corrective chiropractic care. For many clients with office or commuter-related tightness, that short, focused session provides meaningful relief between longer treatment plans.
What to expect at your appointment
Appointments start with a brief intake and focused exam; digital X-rays may be taken if they will help explain structural findings. The hands-on massage follows and is tailored to the exam’s results. The full service is priced at $69 and runs 30 minutes, designed for quick, informative relief without a lengthy time commitment.
Plan to wear comfortable clothing that allows access to the neck and back for assessment and massage. Arrive a few minutes early to complete intake. The clinician will explain findings and suggest next steps, which may include continued therapeutic work or more comprehensive corrective care when needed.
