About

A small practice, run by two doctors

Temper Chiropractic is on Fort Lowell Road in Tucson. Dr. Micaela Rivero opened it to care for adults over 65, and Dr. Ida Boatwright joined her.

We keep the practice small on purpose. The same two doctors see you each time, the front desk knows who you are, and the waiting room has chairs with arms. We use low-force methods and we explain what we are doing before we do it.

We do not promise results, and we do not tell you what other providers do. We tell you what we see, what we suggest, what it costs and who pays, and then it is your decision.

How we work

Three habits we keep

  • Low force

    Light pressure, hands-only or hand-held, and tables that lower to chair height.

  • In person, and in writing

    We ask about your health face to face, and we give you the plan and the cost on paper.

  • A physician first when it matters

    If your symptoms point to something a chiropractor should not treat, we tell you and send you to a physician.
