Chiropractic & Wellness Services in Grand Junction, CO
Peak Performance offers three connected areas of care. What you receive depends on your history, your exam, and the goals you bring to your first conversation with Dr. Younker.
Overview
Three areas of care, one personalized plan
Rather than a fixed program, care at Peak Performance is assembled from what is appropriate for you.
Chiropractic Care
A health care discipline focused on the relationship between spinal structure and nervous system function, without drugs or surgery.
Massage Therapy
Soft tissue work offered alongside chiropractic care to support comfort, mobility, and recovery.
Digestive & Nutritional Health
A nutritional perspective on recurring complaints, discussed with Dr. Younker during your consultation.
Therapies
Additional therapies and in-office technology
Used alongside chiropractic care when your examination shows they are appropriate.
Spinal Decompression
Gentle, table-assisted traction that eases pressure on the discs and joints of the spine without surgery.
Shockwave Therapy
Acoustic pressure waves applied to stubborn soft tissue complaints that have stopped improving on their own.
Laser Therapy
Painless low-level laser applied to irritated joints, tendons, and nerves as part of a broader plan.
Dry Needling
Thin, sterile, single-use needles used to release trigger points and tight bands of muscle.
Digital X-Ray & Imaging
Imaging used to answer a specific question about your spine, reviewed on screen with you.
Peripheral Neuropathy Care
Conservative care and honest triage for numbness, tingling, and burning in the hands or feet.
How they work together
Structure, soft tissue, and nutrition
Chiropractic care focuses on the relationship between spinal structure and nervous system function. Massage therapy addresses the soft tissue around that structure. Digestive and nutritional health looks at what the body is being given to work with.
Not every patient needs all three. Dr. Younker will discuss any nutritional needs during your initial consultation, and will tell you plainly when something is outside the scope of chiropractic care.

FAQ
Common Questions
Which service should I start with?
Most patients start with a chiropractic consultation. That visit includes an exam and health history, and it is the point where Dr. Younker discusses whether other care is appropriate.
Can services be combined in one visit?
Ask the office when you schedule so the right amount of time is reserved for what you need.
Do you treat conditions outside the spine?
Care here focuses on the spine, related structures, and the nervous system. When something falls outside that scope, Dr. Younker will say so and recommend appropriate medical evaluation.
Not sure where to begin?
Call the office and describe what is going on. We will help you choose the right first appointment.
