Back Pain
Report
The joints on the back of each bone in the spine are a common cause of back pain. If these joints are “locked up” or “stuck”, they can cause painful symptoms.

The discs or cushions between spinal bones can be a starting place of back pain, too. These cushions act as spacers and “shock absorbers” for the spine. Injuries can cause the soft material in the center to bulge or to be herniated, putting pressure on soft nerves.
Neck Pain
Report
A thorough exam of the neck as well as a posture check can determine the extent of the problem. Any forward head posture should be checked by a chiropractor. As your Boise Chiropractor we have several solutions to treat neck pain and headaches as well as fix the underlying problem.
Headaches
Report
Most headaches start off in the upper neck and involve the nerves, blood vessels, and muscles that cover your head and neck. If there is a lack of function in the neck it causes abnormal actions and sometimes pain.

The muscles or blood vessels swell or tighten, putting pressure on the surrounding nerves. The nerves send a rush of pain messages to your brain or along the path of a nerve and you end up with a headache. This has lead to an approach that that covers symptoms with strong medication, but does not fix the problem.

I am thankful to have Dr. Mike as my chiropractor and highly recommend him for chiropractic care! The staff at Rae Chiropractic Center are friendly and accommodating. Dr. Mike provided immediate care to treat my sciatic pain. My job entails working in front of a computer for multiple hours at a time day and night. Adjustments by Dr. Mike effectively alleviate the stresses in my lower back and neck, so I feel physically and mentally restored! Dr. Mike is personable and attentive to my concerns. I appreciate his knowledge and recommendations to help me maintain my overall well-being.

Wonderful chiropractor! Mike Rae is the best chiropractor in the valley! He is personable and patient. He is great with listening to your problems and adjusting you to your comfort. He makes each appointment feel like you're talking to your friend. Hard working and caring doctor! I recommend him to everyone I can because he is that good of a chiropractor. I will never go anywhere else!

Dr Mike Rae is fantastic! I HIGHLY recommend him for anyone that needs any chiropractic services. I am a bigger guy (6'7 350+) and he is able to adjust me which other chiropractors in the area have struggled to do in the past. Not only is he good at what he does, he is also very thorough in explaining why he has you do what he does and it's clear that he cares about your health and longevity.

I'd give 10 stars if I could. If you're on the outside looking for someone you can trust, look no further. Dr Mike is top notch, and most importantly he cares about his patients.

PLEASE GO TO SUMMIT LIFE CHIROPRACTIC INSTEAD-THEY ARE MUCH MORE INFORMED, RESPECTFUL, AND MORE FOCUSED ON HELPING YOU INSTEAD OF JUST MAKING MONEY. The main chiropractor at this location aggressively asked me for a 5 star review 3 times, one week apart. The third time was like a beg. I came in to my later appointments and he would ask me again-because he had CHECKED if I had given him the review or not.

No question of if he even deserved a 5 star review, all he told me was that it affects how high he is on google's list, which affects his pay. He did not deserve a 5 star review. Yes, I'm the beginning he was helpful, got me into his office quickly, and he did indeed help in the beginning. A few months after seeing him though, I got an MRI, and after reading my results my spinal wellness doctor told me a chiropractor isn't the direction to go for help, since I had a torn disk and the jerking motion was worsening it.

I told this to the man helping me at Rae Chiropractic and he actually got mad at me.became defensive.asked who I was seeing and became very emotional. This is not the type of relationship I want to have with a healthcare provider. Not only is he too emotional and intense, he is always sweaty, always in a rush, and literally spends less than 10 minutes with each patient.

I never felt like I could ask questions, or get him to explain something in more detail because he was in such a rush to see his next client. Also, one day they were so booked up they made me wait A LITERAL HOUR to be seen. And because I am so nice and did not complain they just let it slide like it was a normal occurrence. The last year's set of reviews also had people saying that they had also waited an hour before. Waiting at a doctors apt for less than 20 minutes is normal, but an hour is taking advantage of the client's time.

This location needs to spread out the time between patients, spend more time informing the patients on what's wrong and explaining everything, and needs to see a therapist to work on managing his emotions in a professional setting. As I said above, please go see Summit Life Chiropractic instead. I now have a neck injury and they are treating me.

They are much more informed, super respectful, clean, took their time caring for me, and did a full electronic examination before even working on me. And they got me in super quickly! I trust Summit Life Chiropractic them much more than I trust Rae Chiropractic.

Rae Chiropractic Center is THE best! Dr. Michael Rae is such a cool guy who is great at his job. He does a very thorough first exam, I learned so much about my spine. He takes that exam and uses it to explain to you his plan of action for your care. I can't to him with severe migraines and going to him has helped with those so much. The staff at Rae Chiropractic Center is also THE BEST! They make you feel so cared about and they're just great people. If I could give 10 stars, I would!

I've had my fair share of adjustments, but Dr. Mike at Rae Chiropractic Center is by far the best! He listens to my concerns and treats them effectively and efficiently. He also gives you recommendations on how to maintain alignment long term. I highly recommend visiting Dr. Mike!

Went to Rae Chiropractic for the first time today. Dr. Mike was fantastic. He took his time and made me feel comfortable for my first time at a chiropractor. He made sure to listen to what I was saying about the issues in my back. I highly recommended this place! I already feel so much better. Can't wait to go back next week!

I have been a patient of Rae Chiropractic for the past 2 years, and each time I have visited I have had an awesome experience! They take the time to listen to your concerns, scheduling is easy and parking convenient. Both Dr. Mike and Dr. Don are very knowledgeable in their field and have treated me from everything to overuse issues to mountain bike crashes. Each visit I have come away with great results. The office staff is always friendly and caring, too.

As an athlete, I can testify to the fact that feeling my best and being structurally sound to compete is so very important, and I contribute a lot of credit for my success to Dr Don Rae DC and Dr Mike Rae DC, and Brandi and Yessi are always very welcoming to patients. Not only are they great friends to have but are outstanding at what they do. Their office is the only chiropractic center I visit for a reason. They are phenomenal chiropractors, and if you're looking to feel better, this is the place you need to go. Best spot in town by far.

I have been going to Rea Chiropractic Center for about two months now and they have helped me immensely. Previously I constantly had neck and lower back pain. But have been doing significantly better since I've started seeing Dr. Michael. I still get some pain in my neck but lower back is almost a non-issue anymore. I also greatly appreciate how easy it is to make appointments are Rae Chiropractic, they can usually fit me into the schedule within half and hour or so of my preferred time when making an appointment.

I highly recommend Rae Chiropractic if you are in discomfort. Its not a cure all, but it definitely helps, and they'd definitely recommend you to get proper care if they cannot help you.

Staff is very friendly. Michael Rae is very courteous and compassionate chiropractor who is very knowledgeable in his field. The office is clean and they wipe down the chiropractic beds after each client during our current COVID-19 situation. Highly recommend if they work within your schedule.

I spent 27 years in the military and wrecked my back over the years with all kinds of physical exertion. When I returned from Iraq all the VA could do for me was prescribe medication and tell me to do stretching exercises. There were days I almost couldn't get out of bed because of the pain. I went to Dr. Rae to seek some relief and after a few weeks of adjustments I was actually back to running and doing the things I did before. I still have a few issues with my back periodically but nothing compared to what it was before. I highly recommend Rae Chiropractic.

I am 25 and very active. Three weeks ago my lower back had tremendous pain, and I am not even sure what caused it. After leaving work early from the pain, I was on the fence about seeing a doctor or a chiropractor. I randomly found Rae Chiropractic on a google search and they got me in right away. I am so impressed with their service. The chiropractor actually healed my lower back and saved my spine and neck from a worse injury.

He didn't throw pain medicine my way, but educated my on how to sit, walk, and move to help myself heal quicker. Two weeks later I am walking and normal again. The spine adjustments and education you recieve from the office will not only help your short lived back pain, but will strengthen your core muscles to avoid future injury. I not only reccommend seeing a chiropractor for back and muscle pain over a doctor or PCP, I'm telling you, Rae Chiropractic is professional and a "must go" for any back pain. The chiropractor and staff are very athletic themselves, and are familiar with how to strengthen muscles and avoid any future pain and/or injuries.

Dr. Rae is great! I moved here from California to go to school at Boise State so I needed to find a new chiropractor in the area. I found Dr. Rae on the internet and have been going to him for about 8 months now. I was having pain in my back and wrists, with regular visits he was able to put me on a care plan and fix the issue. He is very friendly and the staff is so kind.

Being a student I am on a budget and Dr. Rae has great affordable prices for the adjustments. They recently added a massage therapist to the staff and she is great! Would recommend to anyone :)

Dr Mike has provided superior care in every visit. I have seen dramatic improvements in my symptoms during the few months I've been his patient. You can tell he genuinely cares for how I'm doing. His staff is absolutely a delight to work with. They provide a very cheerful and friendly face to a superior office. If you are looking for a quality Chiropractor give Dr Mike a try. You won't regret it.
Zach Macumber
Great job! Dr. Mike Rae helps you understand exactly what he's doing while helping you get in and out efficiently! I've been here a few times and he has been a lifesaver!
Jordan Schwartz
I've been visiting Dr. Mike Rae and I love this place. He is very friendly and personable, he takes the time to really get a good understanding of your personal situation, and he has the heart of a teacher. He doesn't just tell you what needs to be done, but he tells you WHY as well. I really appreciate that. I have had a handful of visits and I have gone from having constant neck and back pain and soreness to feeling like a million bucks.

No more shoulder/back/neck pain, I feel like I stand taller and I don't slouch without even thinking about it. I'm a weight lifting junkie, and Dr. Rae is knowledgeable regarding muscle mass and how carrying extra muscle and performing certain exercises is going to interact with your neck and spine and has provided me with additional information in regards to stretches to help keep my body performing at its peak. I've been recommending this place to everyone; if you're in need of a new chiropractor or want to try one for the first time, don't hesitate!

I have been going to Dr.Mike off and on for several years and have been very satisfied with my treatment. He has treated two different problems with my back and am on the road to recovery. I was referred by a friend and I would refer any of my friends to Rae Chiro.
Shannon Kelley
I love Dr. Mike! I haven't had any of the Rae's work on me (yet) but personally the whole family is really great!
Amanda Parsons-Harper
I have seen enough chiropractors from New York to Idaho to know that Dr. Mike is awesome as well as the whole staff. As soon as I walked in I knew I was walking into 'family' and not another drive thru 'Back 'em 'n Crack 'em' joint. Thank you!
Christie Sandberg
Dr. Mike is amazing at what he does! I have a neck injury from a car accident years ago that gives me trouble a couple times a year. When it does, I get an adjustment from Dr. Mike and get back to enjoying life again!
