TMJ therapy offers a range of benefits, including relief from chronic jaw pain, reduced headaches and earaches, improved jaw mobility, and a decrease in muscle tension in the face, neck, and shoulders. It can enhance chewing function, reduce clicking or popping sounds in the jaw, and help prevent long-term joint damage. By addressing underlying issues such as teeth grinding or misalignment, TMJ therapy also supports better sleep quality and overall oral health, leading to improved daily comfort and quality of life.

I visited Dr. Logan Gerwing based off an recommendation and was very impressed. I have had a ton of physiotherapy/chiropractic care over the years and couldn't believe how quickly Logan was able to get to the root cause of my pain and set up a plan to resolve.

Every time I have a nagging injury I visit Peak. Their therapists are so talented and committed to getting me back to doing what I love. They actually fix the issue and aren’t there just to make money and have you repeat visits. So impressed and so happy with this facility.

From the moment I walked through the door I was greeted by kind, friendly staff. I've had the pleasure of working with Chiropractic, physiotherapy and massage. Each are excellent and they care about your health. Never once have I felt like I was rushed out the door, or just a number. If you are looking for knowledgable and caring staff, I highly recommend you give Peak Health a try!

My son loves coming to physio, not only does our physiotherapist make every appointment fun and engaging, but we have seen huge improvements in his confidence on the playground and he is now riding a bike!

I had an excellent experience at Peak Health. Everyone was very pleasant and professional. I would definitely recommend Alyssa as she helped me regain significant movement in my shoulder after an accident. Hopefully I don’t get into anymore accidents, but if I do, I know where I’m going to get it dealt with.

There is no one I trust more with my daughter than my physio at Peak. She was able to assess my one-year-old in such a playful manner that my daughter now lights up when she sees her. Seeing a physiotherapist has also been really valuable in helping me understand developmental milestones and has been a great source of reassurance when I've had any concerns.

I have been coming here pretty much since they were open. Great to see what it's grown to what it is now. Kate and Evan are awesome and really know how to hire an all-star team. The staff at the counter are super friendly, especially Jana! It's always welcoming being greeted by them when I come in for my appointments.
I've had Blair as my Physio to help get me recovered from years of back pain and a leg surgery from 2 years ago, Claire as my Chiro to aid me on the tail end of my recovery (Thanks you two! I'm back to weight training now!) and Julie and Jodi as my massage therapists, they are great and really know how to work out any tightness I've had so far.
I've been to other clinics before, but Peak Health & Performance stands out from the rest!

I highly recommend Alyssa for physiotherapy. I've had back issues for over 10 years and after just a few appointments with her my back feels great. She's incredibly smart, thorough, great at dry needling and really seems to care. Alyssa was able to diagnose and treat my back in a unique way and the results have been amazing. Can't speak highly enough about her, I'm very impressed.

What is TMJ Therapy?
TMJ therapy refers to a range of treatments designed to alleviate pain and dysfunction in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which connects the jawbone to the skull. This therapy can include physical therapy, manual adjustments, dental appliances like night guards, relaxation techniques, and lifestyle changes to reduce stress and strain on the jaw. In some cases, it may also involve collaboration between chiropractors, physiotherapists, dentists, and other healthcare providers. The goal is to restore normal jaw function, reduce pain, and prevent further joint damage or complications.
What Happens During a TMJ Treatment?
The process begins with an initial examination by a physiotherapist, where you are taken through a thorough history of your injury, your medical history, and your goals.
This is followed by a physical examination utilizing muscle assessment and movement evaluations.
Diagnosis and a plan of management are discussed along with education on how TMJ therapy can best help treat the condition or act as a complement to other therapies.
