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 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!

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.

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!

Peak has been an amazing clinic to work with! The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. I have been seeing Kevin for Chiropractic services and he is fantastic. He takes the time to explain what’s going on and comes up with a plan to fix it. This clinic is awesome, I would highly recommend them to everyone!

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.

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!

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!

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.
