Expert Assessment and Diagnosis
“This is where we start with all of our patients.”
We take pride in providing the highest-quality assessment and diagnosis for each patient that walks through our doors. Not all injuries are the same. Not all injuries can be treated the same. Injuries and physical barriers to performance will always be best managed when the primary causes are intelligently and effectively identified.
Using the Functional Range Assessment (FRA) and Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA), as well as standard orthopedic and neurological exam procedures, we are able to provide you a road map to recovery and performance.
Whether you are a outdoor enthusiast, a mother of four, or a competitive athlete, our clinicians use their years of experience to get you off the sidelines and back in the game as soon as possible.

Specialists
“Sports are our passion.”
So naturally, we are extremely passionate in treating and preventing the injuries that occur throughout the life of an athlete. All of our physicians have participated in high level athletics themselves, but have also pursued additional training in the world of sports injury prevention and management. Not only do our physicians treat sports injuries; they also design and draft training programs for clients of all types.
Our passion at Total Performance is integration of rehab and performance. We do our best to deliver that with each and every patient and client. We do everything we can to get you back on the field and keep you there.
Precise Rehab and Effective Physiotherapy
“At Total Performance, we grew tired of the old, outdated chiropractic and sports medicine models.”
Standard practice in most traditional chiropractic practices involved evaluation and manipulation of the spine. For every injury.
Standard sports medicine care traditionally involved icing, bracing, anti-inflammatory medication, modality use (ultrasound, electrotherapy, etc.), exercise and in the worst of situations, surgery.
Undoubtedly, all of these therapies can be very effective given the right condition and situation, but no single therapy will be effect for all conditions.
At Total Performance, we’ve decided to hold ourselves to higher standards. We see it as our goal to evaluate and assess the patient in front of us and make treatment decisions based on their individual needs. No more generalizations, no more guessing. We see it as our jobs to prove why certain therapies fit your unique condition.
In this model, we use every intervention at our disposal to move our patients quickly through injury and back to activity. Our staff uses joint adjustment/manipulation, soft tissue management, traction, exercise, cold laser therapy (LLLT), taping, electrotherapy, and nutritional adjuncts (among others) to achieve the desired outcomes of our patients and clients.
It’s been our experience that using the best of what is available to accomplish the tasks at hand will regularly return optimal results. That’s our goal with our patients. Plain and Simple.

ASSESSMENTS
Our clinicians take the necessary time to fully assess each patient. Assessments typically include a Functional Range Assessment (FRA) or Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA), as well as standard orthopedics and neurological evaluations. Evaluation of nutritional/dietary components, as well as imaging (such as radiograph, MRI, CT scan) and lab work will be performed when necessary.
CHIROPRACTIC
The human body needs to move to heal and stay healthy. We use our hands to do what we can to allow your body to move more often, and with as little pain or discomfort as possible. Chiropractic adjustments/joint manipulations help to restore proper motion and mobility to the joints of the body.
PHYSIOTHERAPY
We have many different physiotherapy modalities that are employed to help our patients reach their goals. These include mechanical spinal traction, electrotherapy, cold laser therapy (LLLT), ultrasound, soft tissue manipulation (manual and instrument-assisted), cupping and multiple types of taping (athletic tape, kinesiotape, leukotape, etc.).
MASSAGE THERAPY
Total Performance has multiple massage therapists on staff. In an effort to house the most educated and well-rounded staff, we make every effort to ensure that our therapists are trained not only in high-quality massage and myofascial release, but also in all physiotherapy modalities and rehabilitation methods/techniques offered in our clinic. In fact, most of our current massage therapy staff are also certified personal trainers!
REHABILITATION
Our physicians and rehabilitative specialists are certified and trained to give you a proper evaluation, create an effective and efficient individual exercise prescription, and help guide you as it becomes a part of your lifestyle. We truly believe that exercise and movement correction is no different that brushing your teeth or showering. In order to reap the benefits of the activity, they need to become a regular habit. These factors need to become a lifestyle change, not just a momentary one.
NUTRITIONAL COUNSELING
We get it. Dietary choices, supplementation and nutritional suggestions can be overwhelming. There’s just so much information (and pseudo-information) out there that it’s often times hard to know where to begin. We can help. As chiropractic physicians, our doctors are licensed as primary-care physicians in the State of Oregon, allowing them to provide accurate dietary recommendations to assist in recovery from injury, as well as performance enhancement.

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.
