An Integrative Approach to Conservative Musculoskeletal Care
At Total Performance, we believe that an active lifestyle promotes a healthy body and mind. When pain or restrictions get in the way of our performance or our ability to move well, it can hinder all aspects of our day, creating challenges in work, socializing, and exercise.
Utilizing effective, non-invasive chiropractic and physical therapy solutions, you can find comfort and balance, enhance your body’s efficiency, and take back control so you can live your life with intention.
If you want to optimize your body, perform at your highest, and surpass your expectations, we’re ready to help you reach your goals.
Our chiropractic and therapy teams are dedicated to your success and use a comprehensive approach to injury treatment, rehabilitation, and strength training, recognizing the relationship between all.
Our Services & Solutions
Because each patient is different, it’s important to us that we offer numerous treatments, ensuring each person we work with can be cared for in the best way possible. Considering abilities, goals, needs, injuries, pain points, and more, we can acutely design treatment plans unique to the individual.
Assessments
Our clinicians take the time to fully assess each patient. Assessments typically include:
- Functional Range Assessment (FRA)
- Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA),
- Mechanical Diagnosis & Therapy (MDT)
- Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS)
- Standard orthopedics and neurological evaluations
Evaluation of nutritional and dietary components, as well as imaging (such as radiograph, MRI, CT scan) and lab work, will be performed when necessary.
We’ll also go over your medical and lifestyle history, current discomforts and lifestyle, any accidents, and your goals and needs, to design a unique plan around you.
Chiropractic & Physical Therapy
The human body needs to move to heal and stay healthy, making chiropractic and physical therapy a great combination for care. Our solutions often offer little to no downtime, and although rest is sometimes necessary, it’s vital to utilize movement when recovering from or healing injuries.
Our treatments often use manual therapies to support your body, so it can move properly, more often, and with as little pain or discomfort as possible.
Chiropractic adjustments, also called joint manipulations, help to restore proper motion and mobility to the spine and other joints of the body, often producing immediate relief.
Some chiropractic techniques and services we offer include:
- Active Release Techniques (ART)
- Mobilization techniques
- McKenzie Method
- Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA)
We also utilize many different physical therapy 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 therapy
- Taping therapy, such as athletic tape, Kinesio tape, and Leukotape
Integrating chiropractic and physical therapy treatments allows a comprehensive plan to provide far-reaching care, giving each patient exactly what they need to feel better and get stronger.
Massage Therapy
Total Performance offers multiple massage therapists, each with a wide-spanning skill set. In an effort to house the most educated and well-rounded staff, we make every effort to ensure our therapists are trained in high-quality massage and myofascial release, as well as the physical therapy modalities and rehabilitation techniques offered in our clinic.
Sports Rehabilitation
Our physical therapists and rehabilitative specialists are certified and trained to properly evaluate you, create an effective and efficient individual exercise prescription, and help guide you as it becomes a part of your lifestyle.
We genuinely believe exercise and movement correction is no different from brushing your teeth or showering. In order to reap the benefits of the activity, they need to become a regular habit, requiring a lasting lifestyle change, not just a momentary one.
Some techniques and services we offer include:
- Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS)
- Functional Range Systems (FRS)
- Manual therapies and manipulations
- And others
Our chiropractors and physical therapists take a comprehensive approach to the examination and treatment of musculoskeletal problems. They are all expertly trained in hands-on manual therapy techniques and rehabilitative exercises. Whether you’re seeing one of our doctors of chiropractic or doctors of physical therapy, you can be assured all of our professionals at Total Performance will provide you with the care you need and have access to the proper treatment modality for your specific needs.
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 frequently 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 us to provide accurate dietary recommendations to assist in recovery from injury, as well as performance enhancement.
Training
To complement our pain solutions and nutritional guidance, we offer training that enhances body function, strength, and overall support. Our personal trainers are experienced and educated to help you achieve peak performance levels.
We work with those who are injured, those who are strength-building, those who are already at the top of their game, and everyone in between. We help you thrive through insight, motivation, and empowerment.
Our Proccess
Our doctors and therapists work hand-in-hand to ensure you get the correct diagnosis and the most effective treatment plan. Because our doctors and therapists are cross-trained, your journey is streamlined and efficient.
In most cases, your treatment consists of at least one method of therapy, as well as guidance on exercise, lifestyle, and nutrition.
Undoubtedly, all of these therapies can be very effective given the right condition, but no single therapy will be effective for all conditions.
At Total Performance, we’ve decided to hold ourselves to higher standards. We see it as our responsibility 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. It is our job 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. Utilizing our natural, non-invasive solutions, we re-establish a healthy, strong, supportive body so you can get back to life actively.
Your optimal results are the goal; we’re here to make that happen. Plain and simple.

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 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!
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.
