What Is Osteoarthritis?
Osteoarthritis is often misunderstood as a normal part of aging, but it’s not. In our experience, this joint degeneration usually starts from one of two extremes: past injuries from intense sports or physical work that were never fully healed, or years of sitting too much in desk jobs with little movement. Both overuse and underuse can lead to joint breakdown.
Add to that a natural decline in hormones after age 40—which slows down your body’s ability to repair—and the joint tissue starts to wear down faster. But here’s the key: arthritis itself doesn’t always cause pain. Pain only shows up when inflammation is present. Inflammation is what damages the cartilage, speeds up degeneration, and eventually leads to bone-on-bone arthritis. Our goal is to reduce that inflammation early, so we can stop the damage and help the body heal naturally.
For some people, regenerative therapy alone is enough to reduce inflammation and support healing. For others, we need to boost hormones to restore their natural repair capacity. And in other cases, we need to fix a leaky gut to stop the immune system from attacking the joints. This comprehensive approach is key to effective osteoarthritis pain management and long-term recovery.
It’s truly an art and an extensive process to find out what clients need. Some others may need a combination of two or even all three. That’s why we bring clients in for an in-depth, in-person assessment to identify the true root cause of their joint inflammation—be it local, systemic, gut-related, or hormonal. From there, we create a customized plan that addresses the system most in need, whether it’s hip osteoarthritis treatment, osteoarthritis knee treatment, or support for mild osteoarthritis treatment before it progresses further.
That’s our unique advantage. We don’t just inject and hope. We investigate thoroughly to find out what’s driving the inflammation so your body can finally heal the right way.
Who This Is For
You’re not slowing down. But your joints are.
You’ve spent years pushing limits, leading, and showing up strong.
But lately, your joints haven’t kept up, and it’s manifesting in:
- The stiffness when you wake up.
- The dull ache that builds after a long day.
- The grinding, clicking, or swelling when you walk, lift, or train.
You’ve tried stretching, anti-inflammatories, maybe even a cortisone shot—but nothing truly fixed it. The truth is, this isn’t just aging. It’s an early-stage joint breakdown.
Luckily, it’s preventable.
We Help People Who
- Have been diagnosed with osteoarthritis and were told it’s “mild,” wait and see.
- Feel their joints are stiff, sore, or swollen, especially after sitting, walking, or activity.
- Want to stay active in their sport, job, or lifestyle without relying on osteoarthritis treatment medication.
- Tried physiotherapy, injections, or rest, but still aren’t improving.
- Are motivated to fix the real issues, not just mask pain.
- Want to delay, if not avoid surgery.
Whether it’s knee, hip, or shoulder joints, this is for those who are high-performing but feel limited, frustrated with temporary fixes, and ready for science-backed, non-surgical solutions.
We provide real osteoarthritis pain relief through targeted, regenerative care. Our approach goes beyond standard treatment of osteoarthritis by reversing inflammation, restoring tissue, and rebuilding mobility naturally.
If you’re ready to reclaim your movement, function, and freedom, this is for you.

4-Step Osteoarthritis Treatment Restoration
No surgery. No long-term meds. Just science-backed care at our osteoarthritis treatment clinic in Oakville, led by award-winning specialists.
Step 1:
Assessment Phase (Identify the Source of Pain)
Osteoarthritis is often misdiagnosed as “just wear and tear.” We go deeper.
We use:
- A hands-on physical exam assessing joint alignment, function, and stability.
- Real-time ultrasound imaging to identify soft tissue degeneration and hidden inflammation.
You benefit from:
- Accurate diagnosis of early cartilage wear and instability.
- Identification of movement patterns accelerating your arthritis.
- A personalized roadmap to slow, if not reverse, joint breakdown.
Step 2:
Preparation Phase
We prepare the joint for optimal healing. We reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and prime your body for regeneration.
We do:
- Break down scar tissue and boost circulation of the affected area.
- Release entrapped nerves.
- Strengthen and stabilize ligaments and joint capsules.
You benefit from:
- Reduced swelling and pain.
- Improved joint support and flexibility.
- A primed environment for cartilage and tissue repair.
Step 3:
Treatment Phase (Regenerative Injections)
We activate your body’s healing system to lower inflammation and deliver targeted regenerative medicine to the affected area.
We use:
- High-potency PRP (15–18 billion platelets) for cartilage, tendon, and joint healing.
- Image-guided precision injections to treat the exact source of damage.
- Optional: Hyaluronic acid therapy to enhance lubrication and reduce oxidative stress.
You benefit from:
- Natural regeneration of damaged tissue.
- Long-term osteoarthritis pain relief without masking symptoms.
- Improved joint function, range of motion, and strength.
Step 4:
Recovery Phase
We solidify your healing and restore performance. Healing doesn’t end with an injection. It begins there.
We use:
- A customized home rehab program delivered via an app to retrain your joint mechanics.
- Anti-inflammatory supplements personalized to your labs and arthritis type.
- Ongoing support to prevent flare-ups and degeneration.
You benefit from:
- Faster, more complete recovery.
- Return to the activities you love, like golf, lifting, travel, and work.
- Prevention of future joint deterioration.

Advanced Modalities We Use To Treat The Joint
While traditional care often fails, we offer a different path, one focused on regeneration, not bandaid fix.
Shockwave Therapy
Clinically shown to reduce chronic tendon pain, shockwave therapy is used first at Peak Health VIP to break down scar tissue and prime the area for regenerative treatment.
Hyaluronic Acid Injection
Peak Health VIP combines HA with pre-treatment shockwave or prolotherapy to boost absorption, extend relief, and enhance joint lubrication in active patients.
Nerve Entrapment Release (PIT)
Peak Health VIP relieves nerve pain, tingling, or weakness post-injury by releasing compressed nerves for faster recovery.
Prolotherapy
Strengthens loose or damaged ligaments, especially after sprains. Peak Health VIP combines it with shockwave for stronger joint stability and faster healing.
Platelet-Rich Plasma
Our PRP delivers 15–18 billion platelets per treatment, over triple the volume of standard kits for joint pain, tendon tears, cartilage and meniscus injuries.
Ultrasound
Peak Health VIP uses dynamic ultrasound imaging to stress-test ligaments and tendons during movement, not just static scans like most clinics rely on.
Supplementation
Targeted supplements support recovery, inflammation control, and tissue repair, personalized based on your lab results and injury type for optimal outcomes.
Movement Therapy
Custom exercise routines delivered through our app, designed to improve strength, mobility, and joint stability, done at home, on your own schedule, to support your recovery goals.
