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.

My experience with Dr. Logan Gerwing was amazing. The thing that stands out the most when i recall my experience with Logan is the belief system he established in me. I have seen many other practitioners who used language that me believe that I was fragile, broken, or explained I needed to just rest and not train." Logan from day 1 started to make sure I changed my belief system from fragile to resilient. He is an expert at his craft and explained why and how he was going to use certain techniques and also made sure I was on board before executing. If you are struggling, go see Dr.Logan you wont be sorry!

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 don’t have enough great things to say about this facility. I am always welcomed with a warm hello and treated like gold throughout my experience. Janelle is incredible for her physio, acupuncture, and cupping. She always assessed and address what I need and creates a long lasting plan so I walk away pain free for not just a week but years to come. Dave is next level when it comes to strategic planning and intentional treatment for chiropractic. He always listens to what I need and makes sure to implement a plan that works for his clients. I have been going to Peak for 3+ years and I will continue for the rest of my years to come!

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.

I have been working with Sydney since she was still a student, and she is an incredibly skilled massage therapist. Her commitment to teaching her clients, setting clear boundaries/expectations and her communication style is such an important aspect of her therapeutic relationship with clients. I think you could get a great massage with many therapists, but Sydney really teaches you what your body has been doing, how to rehabilitate it, and helps to open up tight muscles you didn’t even know you had!

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.
