If you’re looking for answers—not just temporary relief—start here.

Meet Dr. RJ Rivera — co-owner & chiropractor at Apex Spine & Performance.

RJ’s approach starts with one thing: figure out what actually matters.
Not guesses. Not blanket protocols.

At Apex, that means a full look at how you move, how you load, and how your system is responding—then building a plan that helps you get back to doing what you care about.

He works with active adults and athletes dealing with spine pain, shoulder issues, and injuries that haven’t fully resolved elsewhere.

Expect:
• Clear answers
• A plan that makes sense
• Progress you can actually feel

RJ is big on education—because the goal isn’t just to feel better, it’s to understand your body and trust it again.

Outside the clinic, RJ spends his time doing the same things many of his patients are working to get back to—training, skiing, climbing, and getting out on the water fishing, while taking full advantage of everything Central Oregon has to offer. These days, that also means doing it alongside his wife Maddi, their daughter Audie, and Lu, their golden retriever—which continues to shape how he approaches both life and practice.

If things finally feel like they’re progressing the right way… this is probably who you’re working with.

Meet Dr. Tim Sanders — co-owner & chiropractor at Apex Spine & Performance.

Tim’s role at Apex is simple:
slow things down when needed, and make sure the plan actually holds up.

He works with persistent pain, recurring injuries, and cases where people feel stuck or unsure what to do next.

His approach is methodical:
• Identify patterns
• Manage load
• Progress with intent

No rushing. No forcing it.

With a background in movement-based care and nutrition, Tim looks at the bigger picture—helping patients build real, lasting capacity.

Patients know him for being calm, clear, and consistent—and for making complex situations feel manageable again.

Outside the clinic, Tim stays active in the same way many Apex patients do—training, golfing, and getting out on the water. That consistency shows up in how he builds plans: practical, repeatable, and built for real life.

🖤🤍💛

Apex hasn’t gone anywhere… just been living a little more life lately.

Behind the scenes—RJ stepped into dad mode, while Tim’s been holding it down in the clinic, continuing to take care of the Apex community.

Different season. Same standard.

Now it’s time to be back out with the people 👇

📍 Bend Marathon — April 12
📍 Salmon Run — April 18

Apex will be there all day:
• Pre + post run care
• Movement prep + recovery work
• Electrolytes + water

If you’re running, come get dialed in.
If you’re not, come hang and say what’s up.

Back outside. Back with the people. Let’s get to work.

Gratitude runs deep this season 🖤🤍💛

At Apex Spine & Performance, we are thankful for the people who make movement meaningful — our Bend community, the individuals who show up for themselves, the families who support one another, and everyone committed to living an active, purposeful life.

Thank you for trusting us to help you move with confidence — on the trails, on the slopes, in the gym, and in everyday life.

Happy Thanksgiving from our Apex family to yours 🦃

🧠 PSA for anyone dealing with symmetrical, bilateral arm or leg pain:
Before chasing symptoms in the limbs, it’s crucial to rule out the spine as the primary source.

When both sides are affected, it often points to a central driver — meaning the issue could be coming from the spinal cord, nerve roots, or even how your nervous system is processing movement and pain.

At Apex Spine and Performance, we take a global approach — assessing spinal function, movement patterns, and neuromuscular control — to make sure nothing is missed before jumping into local treatment.

✅ Thorough assessment.
✅ Clear diagnosis.
✅ Targeted plan that actually makes sense.

Plyometrics = the bridge back to sport 🏆

When patients are in the end stages of rehab, it’s not just about strength anymore—it’s about teaching the body to absorb and reapply force safely. That’s where plyometric training comes in.

By progressing from controlled landing drills ➡️ to explosive, sport-specific movements, we help athletes rebuild power, reactivity, and confidence—key ingredients for a safe and successful return to play.

At Apex Spine and Performance, we don’t stop at pain relief—we make sure you’re truly ready to perform. 💥

✨ Real results from real patients ✨

Hypermobility can make chronic low back and SI joint pain feel like a never-ending cycle — flare up, rest, repeat.
That’s why we take a targeted, long-term approach that goes beyond short-term symptom relief.

We’re so grateful for the trust our patients place in us — and we’re here to help you build stability, reduce pain, and take control of your movement.
