Dr. Carl Baird DC, MS

Everyday for the past 10 years Dr. Carl Baird (and his pup Bandit) has worked with people aged 40-70 who are living with joint pain and that keeps them from enjoying the world around them. He understands the concern and frustration of pain that won’t go away and the constant worry of what life would look like if it were to get worse.

After working in traditional chiropractic clinics right out of school and seeing the same people come in with the same problems month after month – he slowly felt the urge to provide more than temporary relief and start making bigger impacts on people’s lives. 

He opened his clinic, Evolve Performance Healthcare, to further his mission of helping his community build the strength and confidence to live active, healthy, and happy lives – regardless of age. Over the last 10 years, his educational, strength based approach to medicine has given hope to 100’s of people who had come to accept pain as part of their life and given confidence to those who believed they would have reduced mobility for the rest of their life
