Inside this clinic

Care, department by department.

  1. Sports Rehab & Performance Care

    For athletes coming back from an injury and athletes trying to raise their ceiling. We look at how your brain and body work together, then train reaction time, balance, coordination and focus alongside rehab for the injury itself, including DynaVision cognitive training.

    Explore sports rehab and performance care

  2. Rehabilitation Center in Rancho Santa Fe, CA

    Neurological rehabilitation for concussion, brain injury, stroke and dizziness. It starts with a detailed look at how your nervous system is working, then combines vestibular and eye-movement work, GyroStim and TransLingual NeuroStimulation as your findings call for. Pre-season baseline concussion testing for student athletes lives here too.

    See the neurological rehabilitation program

  3. Physical Rehabilitation Center in Rancho Santa Fe, CA

    Rehabilitation for the body after an injury, a surgery or a long stretch of pain. Care may pair corrective exercise with Class IV laser therapy and peripheral nerve stimulation, chosen for what your evaluation shows and how you respond over time.

    Read about physical rehabilitation

  4. Chiropractor in Rancho Santa Fe, CA

    Chiropractic care for the spine and for the joints of the arms and legs, used as one part of a wider rehabilitation plan. Adjustments are chosen after an evaluation of joint function, posture and neurological responses.

    Learn about chiropractic care

  5. Wellness Center in Rancho Santa Fe, CA

    Services that support recovery and daily function: hyperbaric oxygen therapy in our own chamber, lab testing, and consultations on regenerative therapies. Each is used when it fits your plan, never as a standalone package.

    Browse the wellness center

  6. Biofeedback Therapist in Rancho Santa Fe, CA

    Neurofeedback and qEEG brain mapping. A brain map records electrical activity at the scalp, and neurofeedback sessions use real-time feedback to practice more regulated patterns for focus, sleep and performance. It is non-invasive and does not stimulate the brain.

    Discover neurofeedback and brain mapping

    Vitamin IV therapy and peptide coaching. IV care is overseen by Arsallan Ahmad, ND, and recommendations follow a review of your history, and your lab work where it helps.

    Conservative options for persistent and recent pain, including near-infrared light therapy and PEMF therapy, fitted into a plan that also addresses movement and the nervous system. No referral is required to schedule an evaluation.

Dr. Jeff McWhorter, D.C.

Founder

Dr. Jeff McWhorter, D.C.

Chiropractor and Functional Neurology Expert

The idea for True Performance grew from Dr. McWhorter’s own experience with six severe head traumas. He has been the patient and the doctor, and he built the clinic around one idea: real, lasting performance starts with the nervous system, not the symptom in front of you.

He earned his Doctorate of Chiropractic at Logan University, and before founding True Performance he served as a chiropractic consultant to the Denver Broncos.

Before you call

Who does what in your recovery

Orthopedic surgeon

Diagnoses and repairs structural injuries with imaging, injections and surgery.

Sports-medicine physician

Medical diagnosis, imaging, medication and return-to-play clearance.

Physical therapist

Restores strength, mobility and function through guided exercise.

True Performance

Chiropractic and neurological rehabilitation: vestibular, eye-movement and balance work, GyroStim, neurofeedback and hyperbaric oxygen, coordinated with your physician.

Is True Performance a medical doctor’s office?

No. True Performance is a chiropractic- and rehabilitation-led clinic. We do not replace your physician; we coordinate with them, and your care plan is built around their diagnosis and any clearance they give.

What happens at my first visit?

Your first visit includes a neurological examination of about 90 minutes, plus data and history gathering. It may include qEEG brain mapping, so the plan starts from your own results.

How is GyroStim different from other balance therapy?

GyroStim uses a computer-controlled, multi-axis rotational chair to combine precise movement with visual, cognitive and sensorimotor tasks. Unlike balance exercises on a stationary surface, the direction, speed and intensity of each rotation can be closely adjusted. GyroStim is available at our Rancho Santa Fe clinic only.

How does neurofeedback work?

Neurofeedback records electrical brainwave activity through sensors on the scalp and turns it into real-time visual or audio feedback, so you can practice more regulated patterns during guided sessions. It is non-invasive and does not deliver electrical stimulation to the brain.

Your brain is part of your game.
