From the reviews

What can I say about this place, changed my life. I have having on and off pain and tightness in my back and right and left leg. Pain switching from one side to the other. Went to another regular chiro, Physical Therapist, took aleve and nothing really took the pain away completely.

★★★★★ — Gianina, Jan 2026

Dr. Javier absolutely changed my life! During the past decade, I have had many sports injuries and the pain was pretty much chronic. One of my arms was also getting numb and starting to lose sensation on the fingers.

★★★★★ — Ulas, May 2023

Peak Performance is fantastic. Dr Balderas gave me my life back. I had a bad car accident in August where I was rear-ended at a stoplight by a truck , I was unable to sleep at night due to headaches with neck and shoulder pain. I could not hold my 2 year girl old due to a frozen shoulder.

★★★★★ — Adam, Nov 2022

Go book an appointment with Dr. Forrest. He's super considerate and knowledgable. My back stiffness from a workout injury that bothered for half a year completely healed after a couple sessions. I like how he explained what might be causing the discomfort and used multiple approaches to deal with it.

What to expect from your first cupping session

New to cupping? Here's the short version. What happens: the practitioner places cups on the skin — most often the back, shoulders, or legs — and creates suction (with a pump, or briefly with a flame for fire cupping). Cups either stay put for a few minutes (dry cupping) or are glided over oiled skin (massage cupping). A session is usually 15–45 minutes, often added to a massage or acupuncture visit. The marks: cupping leaves round, bruise-like circles that are normal and usually fade in a few days to a couple of weeks — they're discoloration from the suction, not an injury, and shouldn't really hurt. What to wear: comfortable clothing that gives access to the area being treated. Afterward: drink water, keep the area warm, and skip intense sun or a hot sauna right after.

Cupping isn't for everyone — if you're on blood thinners, pregnant, or have a skin condition or bleeding disorder, check with your doctor first, and always tell your practitioner about health concerns before a session. This page is directory information, not medical advice.
