I'd suggest flexion/extension x-rays as well. It is possible to get an "off-centered" ADR that is really just off centered because of the way you've held your head. Deliberately moving through the range of motion forces the ADR to move and brings out a host of problems, including adjacent level concerns. Your doctor's probably right about what's happening but the flexion/extension shots are so easy to get and add a lot to your understanding.
You might also want to add what kind of ADR you got, who did it, etc. It's pretty likely that someone here has experience with your surgeon and ADR type that could help you make a decision.
