Chiropractic Care That Goes Beyond the Adjustment
Modern, evidence-based chiropractic care for people who want more than temporary relief - focused on identifying why pain exists, not just where it hurts.
At Ascent Health & Performance, chiropractic is part of a broader system of care.
We combine targeted adjustments with movement analysis, soft tissue therapy, and rehab to help resolve the underlying causes of pain - not just chase symptoms.

Why Our Chiropractic Approach Is Different
Chiropractic works best when it's part of a broader system - not a stand-alone solution.
Who This Chiropractic Care Is - and Isn't - For
Our chiropractic care is designed for people who want more than a quick fix.
It's for those who may be skeptical of chiropractic - especially if they've tried it before and didn't get lasting results - and are looking for a more thoughtful, modern approach.
It's also for active individuals who want a provider that understands movement, training, setbacks, and recovery because we live it ourselves.
If you're looking for someone to simply "crack you" without understanding the bigger picture, we may not be the right fit.
But if you want answers, a clear plan, and care that addresses the underlying causes of pain - you're exactly who we work with.
You don't need to believe in chiropractic.
You just need to believe in solving the right problem.
What We Treat
Pain rarely exists in isolation. We commonly work with patients dealing with the following:
- Low back pain & SI joint irritation
- Neck pain & postural strain
- Headaches related to neck tension
- Shoulder pain (lifting, desk work, sports)
- Elbow, wrist, and forearm pain
- Overuse injuries from training or work
- Hip pain & mobility restrictions
- Knee pain (overuse, loading-related, degenerative)
- Ankle & foot pain
- Rib pain & thoracic restriction
- Recurrent pain that keeps coming back
- Movement-related pain without a clear diagnosis
We also commonly work with other joint and movement-related issues not listed here.
If pain is affecting how you move, train, work, or live - it's worth a conversation.
Not sure where your issue fits? We'll help you figure that out during your first visit.
A Broader, Smarter Approach to Chiropractic Care
Traditional chiropractic care can be incredibly effective - especially when joint restriction is the primary driver of pain.
But pain is rarely caused by one thing alone.
At Ascent Health & Performance, chiropractic is part of a broader system of care. We blend targeted adjustments with modern rehab principles, movement analysis, and current clinical technology to address the underlying causes of pain - not just the symptoms.
"Evidence-based" gets used a lot in healthcare.
For us, it's simple:
If evidence supports a specific adjustment, rehab protocol, modality, or recommendation - we use it.
If it doesn't, we don't.
There's no script. No cookie-cutter plans. And no allegiance to one technique over results.
Chiropractic works best when it's part of a broader system - not a stand-alone solution.
The Tools We Use to Support Better Outcomes
No single technique works for every problem.
We select tools based on what your body needs - not a preset formula.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Targeted, joint-specific adjustments used when appropriate to restore motion and reduce irritation. Adjustments are never automatic - they're chosen based on exam findings and how your body responds.
Active Release Techniques (ART) & Soft Tissue Therapy
Hands-on treatment addressing muscle, tendon, fascial, and nerve-related restrictions that often contribute to recurring pain, stiffness, or loss of movement.
Rehab & Corrective Exercise
Simple, intentional movement and strength-based rehab to reinforce changes made during treatment and reduce the likelihood of symptoms returning.
Supportive Modalities
Tools such as e-stim, cupping, IASTM, mobility work, dry needling, shockwave, and recovery strategies are used selectively when they add value - not as filler or routine add-ons.
Each visit is guided by how you're responding - not by a script or a fixed protocol.
Our Goal Isn't Just Relief - It's Resolution
Pain relief matters - and often that's where care begins.
But symptoms are rarely the whole story.
At Ascent Health & Performance, what we actually care about is identifying and addressing the causative factors behind pain: movement limitations, tissue overload, strength deficits, or lifestyle and training contributors that keep the same problem coming back.
That process doesn't ignore symptoms - it explains them.
When you understand why something hurts, treatment becomes more focused, rehab becomes more effective, and long-term results become far more achievable.
Relief gets you through today.
Resolution changes what happens next.
This is why our care is build around assessment, response to treatment, and progression - not just repeated visits.

Meet Your Chiropractors
Care at Ascent Health & Performance is led by chiropractors who value thoughtful assessment, evidence-based decision-making, and helping people move better long term.
Dr. Tyler Wright, DC
I approach chiropractic care through the lens of movement, load, and long-term resilience. Adjustments are a powerful tool - but lasting results come from understanding why pain exists and addressing the factors driving it.
My goal is to help patients move better, train consistently, and avoid getting stuck in the same pain cycles over and over again.
Dr. Laura Wright, DC
I focus on helping patients understand their bodies and feel confident in the care they're receiving. Thoughtful examination, clear communication, and appropriate progression are central to how I practice.
Care works best when patients understand what's happening and why - and when treatment is tailored to the individual, not a template.
Together, our approach blends chiropractic care with modern rehab principles to support better outcomes - not just short-term relief.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to get adjusted?
No. Adjustments are optional and only used when they're appropriate for your condition and goals. We'll always explain what we're doing and why.
Will I be treated on the first visit?
In most cases, yes. As long as it's safe and appropriate after the exam, treatment typically begins on the first/exam visit.
How many visits will I need?
That depends on the nature of your issue, how long it's been present, and how your body responds to care. We outline expectations clearly and adjust the plan as you progress. Our treatment plans follow published evidence-based guidelines.
Is this care appropriate if I life, train, or stay active?
Absolutely. Our approach is designed to support movement and training - not restrict it. Many of our patients are active adjusts who want to keep doing the things they enjoy.
What if I've tried chiropractic before and it didn't help?
That's common. Often it's not that chiropractic "didn't work", but that the underlying drivers of pain weren't fully addressed. Our approach focuses on identifying and resolving those factors.
Do you work with chronic or recurring pain?
Yes. Many patients come to us after dealing with pain that keeps returning. Our goal is to understand why it's recurring and address the contributors - not just manage flare-ups.
Can you help if I don't have a clear diagnosis?
Yes. Pain doesn't always fit neatly into a diagnosis. That's why we start with a thorough exam and movement assessment rather than chasing labels.
Does chiropractic care hurt?
Most treatment is well tolerated. Some people experience temporary soreness, similar to starting a new workout, but care is adjusted to your comfort level.
Do I need a referral to book?
No referral is required. You can book directly online or call our office to schedule. The only exception is TriWest, which requires a referral and approval prior to booking. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
Ready for a Smarter Approach to Chiropractic Care?
If you're tired of chasing the same pain and want a clearer understanding of what's actually driving it, we'd be happy to help.
Whether you're dealing with something new or something that keeps coming back, our goal is to help you move forward with a plan - not just temporary relief.
