The short answer
True Performance is a chiropractic- and rehabilitation-led clinic in Rancho Santa Fe, CA. Care is led by Dr. Jeff McWhorter, D.C., a chiropractor whose practice focuses on functional neurology, concussion rehabilitation, and performance. We add measured rehabilitation alongside the care you already provide, and we never replace it.

What happens next
What happens after you refer?
We contact the patient
We call the patient, or the parent of a minor, to set up a complimentary 15-minute intro call and the first evaluation.
We request records
With the patient's written permission, we ask for your notes, imaging reports and any activity restrictions.
We evaluate function
The first visit takes about 90 minutes, plus data and history gathering. It covers balance, eye movement, coordination, reaction time and, where useful, qEEG brain mapping.
We report back
With permission, we share findings and the rehabilitation plan with you, and we update you as the plan changes.
Your role
What stays with you?
Diagnosis, medication, imaging and medical decisions stay with you and the patient's medical team. If our exam turns up something that needs medical attention, we send the patient back to you.
