Chiropractic Care Built Around How You Move
 

Sports-based chiropractic care for active people in Basalt, Aspen, Carbondale, and the Roaring Fork Valley.
 

At Performance and Recovery Clinic, chiropractic care is about more than temporarily relieving a sore back or stiff neck. We evaluate how your joints, muscles, and movement patterns work together, then build care around your symptoms, goals, activities, and response to treatment.

Whether you are recovering from an injury, managing recurring pain, or trying to stay active through ski season, golf season, training, work, and daily life, our goal is to help you move more comfortably and confidently.

More Than an Adjustment
 

Chiropractic care focuses on restoring healthy movement in areas that have become restricted, irritated, or overloaded.

Dr. Joe uses manual chiropractic adjustments, joint mobilization, soft tissue techniques, movement assessment, and rehabilitation strategies to address the factors contributing to your symptoms—not simply the location where you feel pain.
 

Your care may include:

• Spinal and extremity adjustments

• Joint mobilization

• Soft tissue treatment

• Movement and mobility assessment

• Corrective exercise guidance

• Recovery modalities when appropriate
   

Every recommendation is adapted to your condition, comfort level, activity demands, and goals.
 

Chiropractic Care Within the Performance and Recovery Method
 

Chiropractic care may play a role throughout your recovery journey:

Assess

We evaluate joint mobility, movement quality, muscle activation, pain behavior, and activity demands to better understand what may be contributing to your symptoms.

Treat

Adjustments, mobilization, soft tissue techniques, and other targeted therapies are used to improve movement and reduce irritation.

Strengthen

When appropriate, we add progressive exercises to improve stability, coordination, strength, and confidence.

Maintain

Periodic care, movement education, and self-management strategies can help you maintain your progress and stay ahead of recurring problems.

Not every patient needs every service. Your plan is based on your examination findings, goals, and response to care.
 

Conditions We Commonly Help
 

Low Back Pain

Low back pain may involve restricted joints, irritated tissues, altered movement patterns, muscle tension, or reduced tolerance for lifting, sitting, bending, or exercise.

Care may include lumbar, pelvic, or hip adjustments; soft tissue work; mobility strategies; rehabilitation; and education to help you return to normal activity.

Neck Pain and Headaches

Neck pain and tension-type headaches may be influenced by joint restriction, muscular tension, posture, repetitive strain, previous injury, or reduced mobility through the neck and upper back.

Treatment may include gentle adjustments, mobilization, soft tissue techniques, movement education, and home exercises.

Sports and Activity-Related Injuries

Sports injuries rarely affect only one isolated area. An ankle, knee, hip, shoulder, or spinal problem can change how the rest of the body moves and absorbs force.

We evaluate the injured area as well as related joints and movement patterns to help active patients return to skiing, cycling, running, golf, lifting, hiking, and other activities.

Shoulder, Hip, Knee, and Extremity Pain

Chiropractic care is not limited to the spine. When appropriate, we assess and treat restricted or irritated joints in the shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, ankles, and feet.

Extremity adjustments may be combined with soft tissue care, shockwave therapy, and progressive rehabilitation.

What to Expect
 

Your First Visit

Your first appointment includes a health history, movement and orthopedic assessment, discussion of your goals, and an explanation of our findings.

When clinically appropriate, treatment may begin during the first visit.
 

Your Treatment Plan

Recommendations may include chiropractic care alone or a combination of adjustments, shockwave therapy, soft tissue treatment, rehabilitation, and recovery modalities.

The frequency and duration of care depend on your condition, progress, and goals.
 

Your Role in Recovery

We believe patients should understand their condition and participate in their recovery. When appropriate, you will receive practical guidance on movement, exercise, loading, recovery, and reducing recurring irritation.
 

Start Moving Better

Whether you are dealing with a new injury, recurring pain, limited mobility, or a decline in performance, the first step is understanding what is contributing to the problem.
