At Total Performance, we specialize in treating injuries and advancing health, movement, strength, and performance. We want our patients and clients to thrive, whatever that means to them. Whether the goal is to walk the block, finish a marathon, or compete, play, race, or win, we want to help you achieve your goal.
Our team will encourage overall body optimization by offering safe, effective, non-invasive solutions. Getting you healed and pain-free is a priority, and we’ve seen how chiropractic treatments combined with proper physical therapy and training go hand-in-hand.
When your body is fully functioning, supporting you correctly, and allowing you to move properly, you can focus on strengthening the spine, soft tissues, and joints, helping to prevent re-injury and enabling you to perform at your best.
If you’re in pain, lacking focus, having difficulty prioritizing your health, need motivation, or just want to live better, our doctors and therapists are ready to build you up physically and mentally.
We treat patients with various conditions, but the end goal is always the same: maximized health, comfort, and performance. It’s our job to get you there.
Common Conditions Treated in Grants Pass and Cave Junction
Patients and clients visit one of our locations for several reasons, some include:
- A sports-related injury
- An auto accident injury
- A work-related injury
- To get a proper exercise and training program
- Pregnancy discomfort
- Postpartum discomfort and recovery
- Poor posture
- Postoperative rehabilitation and training
- Preoperative care to help avoid surgery
- Nutrition guidance
Whatever your reasoning, we invite you to take the step and reach out. We’re always up for discussing your health and helping you reach your comfort and performance goals.
Upper Back Pain and Low Back Pain
We have extensive knowledge regarding the spine, the soft tissues of the back, and the relationship between them. With connectivity between structures comes dependency on their proper function. When one part is compromised, another may also pay the price.
The spine is complex and, when healthy, provides us with balance, symmetry, support, and movement.
Your back pain may be caused by:
- Disc herniations
- Sciatica
- Back sprains and strains
- Degenerative disc disease
- Facet joint
- Spinal stenosis
- Myofascial trigger points
Neck Pain
Neck injuries have become more prevalent, largely due to handheld devices, poor ergonomics, and improperly set up workstations for new remote workers (your sofa can’t replace a desk).
All of these lead to unsustainable postural habits and put undue pressure on the neck’s soft tissues and cervical spine (the portion of the spine in the neck). Neck health is vital to your movement and everyday routine; we’ll help you obtain it.
Our chiropractors, physical therapists, massage therapists, and personal trainers have successfully worked with patients suffering from neck injuries, including:
- Whiplash
- Sports injuries
- Pulled muscles
- Sprains and strains
- Neck pain due to poor posture
- Arthritis
- Pinched nerve
- Spinal stenosis
- Herniated discs
- Facet joints
- Joint sprains
- Myofascial trigger points
Offering in-clinic and gym treatments as well as take-home exercises, stretches, and guidance, we’ll design a protocol to end your neck pain and help keep it healthy.
Shoulder Pain
Our shoulder joints provide an impressive and dynamic range of motion and allow us to successfully complete many everyday movements like lifting, throwing, and reaching. When in pain, even the most mundane motion can be challenging.
From exercising to playing sports to making the bed, the shoulder needs to be healthy in order to support your movements.
Shoulder conditions we can treat include:
- Rotator cuff injuries
- Frozen shoulder
- Shoulder impingement syndrome
- Arthritis
- Bicipital tendinitis
- Referred pain from the neck
- Bursitis
- Myofascial trigger points
Faulty movement patterns can lead to worsening conditions, so a stable body is essential to overall health and comfort.
Elbow Pain
You likely don’t give your elbow much thought, but consider your movements throughout the day and how often you bend your elbow. It’s a lot. You’re probably bending it now as you read this. When the elbow is injured, we notice, and getting it healed safely as soon as possible is the next step.
We can deliver results through corrective exercise, flexibility solutions, soft tissue repair, and more.
Reasons you may have elbow pain include:
- Racquet sports such as tennis, badminton, pickleball, squash, and racquetball that lead to tennis elbow
- Throwing sports, such as baseball
- Golfing that leads to golfer’s elbow
- Weightlifting
- Mousing on a computer
- Using a screwdriver
- Referred pain from the neck
Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow are common reasons we’re visited; however, patients who suffer from these things don’t always play tennis or golf. We’ll find out what’s happening and why so we can give you the tools to get and stay healthy.
Headaches
Headaches can be excruciating. Even the minor ones bring with them anxiety that it will soon take a turn for the worse, which is unfortunate because stress often worsens and lengthens a headache.
Those who suffer from chronic headaches may be able to find reliable support through chiropractic. Triggers run the gamut, often including:
- Trauma
- Injury or imbalance to the neck, back, or spine
- Poor diet
- Insomnia
- Stress
- Dehydration
- Environmental factors
- Sinuses
Our team has helped patients suffering from many kinds of headaches, reducing pain levels and frequency, including:
- Migraine headaches
- Cluster headaches
- Tension headaches
- Sinus headaches
- Cervicogenic headaches
Knee Pain
The knees carry a lot of weight; even when we’re simply standing, the knee’s soft tissues and joints are at work. For those who are more active, giving your knees extra support is vital so they stay healthy and strong.
From downward dogging to weightlifting to skiing to high-impact exercising and everything in between, it’s important to ensure the knees can bear the weight and excessive pressures put on them.
At Total Performance, we’ve provided care to numerous patients with knee conditions, including:
- Knee osteoarthritis
- Soft tissue tears
- Ligament injuries
- Tendinitis
- Bursitis
- Sprains and strains
- Jumper’s knee
- Runner’s knee
Sports Injuries
By now, you know we’re big fans of the athletic lifestyle. And to the athletes, we know how much demand you place on your body. With increased demand comes injuries. It’s critical to seek medical care as soon as possible when you feel discomfort. By pushing through or minimizing pain with medication, you can cause further damage.
Nothing is worse than training for an event or competition and being unable to participate due to injury. Preventative and proactive care are always best, but even that won’t guarantee you don’t get hurt.
We provide solutions that naturally and effectively heal injuries and generally need little to no downtime. The goal is to get you up and running safely, responsibly, and quickly. You’ve got goals to reach; ours is to make sure you do.
We provide injury solutions, sports rehabilitation, and training to many kinds of athletes, including:
- Runners
- Skiers
- Triathletes
- CrossFitters
- Yogis
- Student athletes: elementary school, middle school, high school, and college
- Professional athletes
- Outdoor enthusiasts, hikers, cyclists, rock climbers
- Weekend warriors
- And more
Do not let your pain get in the way of you and the finish line. You’ve put in the time to practice; now put in the time to heal.

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.
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.
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 goalof helping people recover so they don’t need to come back for adjustments all the time. I highly recommend the Total Performance team!
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.
