The receptionists and practitioners are so friendly and so knowledgeable. Location is great as it is a short drive from downtown. I keep coming back to get massages with Jess E even though she is impossible to book on short notice. She always adds a special touch with essential oils and I always leave so relaxed! I’ve seen Janelle for physio and she takes extra care to get to the root of the problem instead of getting rid of the symptoms.

I had to visit multiple different clinics/practitioners over the years before settling with Peak Health. They have a very dynamic team of top notch practitioners in all domains (chiro, physio, massage therapy, etc.). All the practitioners I met are very active people that understand your needs if you're into sports / outdoor activities.
- Maxim Beaulieu
Jessica's overall knowledge is commendable. She is a good listener and always suggests exercises you can easily perform at home to help with your situation. Jessica is a true professional who clearly enjoys her profession and takes pride in delivering a massage of high calibre using various techniques and tools.
- Maryse Bischoff
This is the best clinic I have ever attended. I’ve attended for both chiro and RMT and both practitioners have been great! Even the girls at the reception desk are always smiling, helpful and happy to chat or help out. I refer everyone I know! If you need Chiro or RMT, you must go here!
- Mike B.
Everyone at Peak is very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Can't think of a better place to go for help. My experience with both chiropractic and massage have been first rate. Would recommend them to anyone who needs these services! Many thanks!
- Fran Wilkin
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!

Peak Health is my go to place to keep my body functioning as it should, all their services are top notch. As a career firefighter I need to keep on top of all the little aches and pains so that I can function when needed, Dr. Durnin and his team help with that. I highly recommend Peak Health & Performance.
- Thomas K.
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.
- Mike Stodola
Dr.Sjodin has been so helpful towards me while I’ve been dealing with post concussive syndrome. He is a wealth of knowledge, keeps up to date on his field, and has been very reassuring and supportive throughout this whole process. I highly recommend seeing Dr. Sjodin for concussion management and Chiropractic services.

What Is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a form of alternative medicine. It’s a non-invasive, hands-on treatment to help prevent, diagnose and treat painful conditions related to the spine, nervous system and musculoskeletal system. Chiropractic may include an array of techniques, including physical examination, spinal adjustments, soft tissue techniques, joint motion therapies, Graston technique and manual adjustments. By employing a range of therapeutic technique and treatment modalities, chiropractic care encompasses a host of pain management therapies that help patients return to their everyday activities fast.
Chiropractic is a widely-recognized and clinically-proven therapeutic treatment.
Chiropractic is one of the largest primary contact health care professions in Calgary.
What Happens During A Chiropractic Visit?
During the first visit, the chiropractor will complete a detailed health history form, followed by a hands-on assessment that includes an evaluation of pain and movement patterns, joint mobility, flexibility, muscular strength and reflexes. This initial assessment helps us to gauge your health potential.
If necessary, the chiropractor will examine relevant imaging results, lab tests and medical or surgical notes. This can be a key component of a thorough assessment.
The chiropractor will establish a diagnosis and work with you to develop an initial care treatment plan and mode of treatment based on your health goals.
During the following weeks of treatment, emphasis is placed on correcting the pain and dysfunction and preventing its recurrence.
Who Can See A Chiropractor?
People who are dealing with a wide range of issues of workplace accidents, sports injuries, pregnancy-related pain, motor vehicle accidents and stress-related ailments can all benefit from chiropractic medicine.
Once patients feel better, many continue to see their chiropractor for manual therapies and regular adjustments to help prevent further injury and treat the ailments of everyday stressors.
Chiropractic care is often covered by insurance providers, and we offer direct billing to make that process as simple as possible.
What’s An Adjustment?
An adjustment is an alternative therapy option: a non-invasive treatment, highly skilled form of physical therapy consisting of gentle techniques, controlled and directed movement to help relieve pain and discomfort and improve range of motion.
Adjustments increase motion, coordination and circulation, while reducing swelling, muscle spasms and pain.
When a joint is adjusted, sometimes a gas bubble escapes causing a popping sound. But don’t worry, chiropractic adjustment techniques have been researched extensively and are safe.
Complications are rare, and side effects such as temporary soreness are usually minor.
Your chiropractor is well-trained and will determine if you need a referral to another healthcare provider.
Chiropractic Training:
A minimum of seven years of post-secondary education – at least three years in an undergraduate university degree, and four years in a chiropractic program with over 4,500 classroom hours.
Students spend over 250 hours dissecting human cadavers and at least 1,000 hours treating patients in a supervised clinical setting.
Chiropractic students must pass strict Canadian licensing exams to practice.
Our chiropractors have a minimum of eight years of post-secondary education, plus other health and exercise-related certifications.
Insurance Coverage
Most extended healthcare plans cover chiropractic care. However, some insurance plans may require a medical doctor’s referral for reimbursement of appointment costs. Please check with your health insurance provider to confirm your specific level of coverage and any requirements.
