How do Chiropractic Care and Physical Therapy Work Together?

At Total Performance, our expertly trained chiropractors and physical therapists provide comprehensive care for musculoskeletal issues using hands-on therapy and rehabilitative exercises. Regardless of whether you’re treating with a chiropractor or a physical therapist, you’re guaranteed personalized treatment tailored to your needs.

Each of our providers can integrate physical therapy and chiropractic, creating powerful treatment strategies. We offer each individual patient a whole-body approach. By evaluating each patient in a comprehensive way, all providers can streamline care, allowing for optimally efficient treatment plans and protocols that provide patients with what they need. The combination of physical therapy and chiropractic includes techniques such as:

  • Manual therapy
  • Mobility exercises
  • Spinal and joint manipulation
  • Strengthening exercises
  • And more

Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care is the natural, non-invasive treatment of spinal adjustments and joint manipulations. These techniques are delivered manually or are instrument-assisted by applying force to an affected area (often in the spine, but not always), re-establishing proper placement. 

Chiropractic care is designed to balance and restore the spine, joints, and soft tissues so the body can function and move without restriction. Chiropractors are often the first line of healthcare in hopes of avoiding surgery, a reliance on pain medication, or other more aggressive treatments.

Physical Therapy

Physical therapy consists of uniquely designed solutions that serve to safely and naturally improve the body’s performance, movement, and strength. PT programs are not one-size-fits-all but are based on the patient’s needs, goals, abilities, and injuries. 

As with chiropractic care, the goal of physical therapy is to avoid surgery and medication or to help you get back to your usual routine after you’ve had surgery. Plans consist of exercises, stretches, movement enhancement, massage, and more. 

Chiropractic care and physical therapy complement each other by promoting a faster, safer, and more reliable healing and strengthening process.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING…

My original reason for coming to Total Performance was because of a severe injury to my iliopsoas during my freshman year of track in high school. I went to several other physicians and none of them even came close to figuring out what was wrong. I came to Total Performance and within one visit they found the source of my pain and a huge weight was lifted off of my shoulders, I finally found someone who could help me and reassure me that my track career wasn’t over. I’ve stayed with Total Performance after graduating high school and moving onto my college track & field career at Northwest Christian University in Eugene, OR. Their entire staff wasn’t only focused on treating me as a patient, but also treated me like family, and a part of a community that cared in every aspect to bettering my health.

In 2018, Halona broke indoor school records in the 60m (7.99/Washington) and 200m (26.69/Boise State), qualified for CCC championships in 100m and 200m distances and set a new 100m personal record (12.69) at the Southern Oregon Invitational, registering the sixth-fastest time in school history.

Total Performance helped me rehabilitate after Sports injuries, so I can get back out there and do the things I love. They have been flexible with my school, and athletic schedules and find time to see me when it works for me.

As a Soccer Coach I am constantly dealing with injuries related to the hips, knees and backs. Scott and his staff have been working with my players to increase muscle mobility and flexibility in those key areas. After a few weeks of training, my players and coaches are noticing a difference. We also have not had players missing games because of muscle tears or pulls. I have also had individual athletes use them for treatment and the results have been positive. I would like to recommend Total Performance for your team or athlete.

Nick, is truly one of the best in his field in Southern Oregon. Whenever I’ve had any movement dysfunctions he’s been able to help me figure out a course of action to get me back to doing what I love as quickly as possible and even better than before. He’s the only person I trust with treating my clients or myself. Knowledge & professionalism are second to none.

My experience with Total Performance was enjoyable and informative. The care and attention from Dr. Baker was outstanding, so much so I have recommended my fellow students and athletes to his place of business. I arrived with a possible a meniscus tear, but Dr. Baker suggested a possible muniscoid entrapment. Which had been a problem for about four months, but within six visits and some suggested workouts I am now back to 100% participation. I have gone to see Dr. Baker for multiple injuries and all of my results I am happy with. I am glad to have resources like Dr. Baker in the area.

The massage, chiropractic, and Strengthening services I have received at Total Performance have helped me immensely. Learning how to move properly and strengthen my core and back have made a difference in my life. The attention to detail and individualized services has been extremely beneficial. I highly recommend Total Performance.

SARAH EMPTAGESARAH EMPTAGE

I have been referring my patients to Total Performance in Cave Junction for years and get so much positive feedback that I went and saw Dr. Nate Baker myself when I injured my lower back gardening last spring. He had me fixed up in 3 visits and the exercises he taught me have helped me prevent further injury. Their approach is very holistic with the goal of helping people recover so they don’t need to come back for adjustments all the time. I highly recommend the Total Performance team!

margaretMARGARET PHILHOWER, ND, Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine

I began treatment with Total Performance in October of 2015. I had sustained a lower back injury that was only worsened by sitting in the car for 8 days driving cross-country. When I started therapy with Nick Baker my mobility was extremely limited. I was restricted only to aquatic exercises. Not only did I receive regular Chiropractic adjustments and massage, I was also given take-home exercises, detailed instruction on how to improve, and most importantly, sustain my lower back health. As a full-time personal trainer, the health and mobility of my body is extremely important. The knowledge and personal care that I have received over the last three years has been exceptional; I would highly recommend Total Performance to all of my friends and family.
