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 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!

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!

Honestly, by far one of the best clinics I’ve ever attended. From the very moment you walk in it feels comfortable and warm. Everyone is so kind and takes an interest in your recovery and building a connection. If you see someone new they are already up to date on what you last came in for. It’s such a well-oiled machine. Highly recommended! Keep it up guys!

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.

I have been a patient of Jessica Ecclestone's for just over a year. She uses a combination of cupping and hands on treatment, but will guide her treatment method to your request (I have also had a massage where I requested no cupping, and she was very easy to accommodate). She is professional and passionate about providing excellent care. I highly recommend her. In addition, the reception staff is always very friendly and welcoming. They make your experience enjoyable from start to finish!

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.

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!

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.
