Care for the EDS & Hypermobility Community

If you're hypermobile, your symptoms often span several parts of the body at once, and they tend to be connected rather than a set of separate, unrelated problems. This practice is set up to look at the whole picture rather than one symptom at a time.

Ehlers-Danlos syndromes and hypermobility spectrum disorders affect connective tissue throughout the body, so symptoms cluster in predictable ways: unstable, clicking, painful jaws; chronic migraine and headache; neck and shoulder tension from muscles working overtime to stabilize lax joints; and dysautonomia that can disrupt temperature regulation and sweating. These aren't coincidences - they're connected. And several of them respond well to carefully planned therapeutic Botox and trigger point injections.

To be clear about scope: Dr. Baldwin doesn't diagnose or manage EDS itself - diagnosis and overall coordination stay with your family physician and, where needed, specialists. What she offers is targeted treatment of the symptoms that hit hypermobile patients hardest - TMJ and jaw pain, chronic migraine, and excessive sweating - using therapeutic Botox and trigger point injections, planned around your connective tissue rather than despite it.

What Hypermobility-Aware Treatment Means Here

• Your diagnosis is taken at face value. Whether you have a formal hEDS diagnosis, an HSD label, or years of "you're just flexible," your history is the starting point - not something to argue about.
• Muscle guarding is respected. In hypermobile bodies, tight muscles are often doing stabilizing work. Dosing is conservative and targeted so overactive, pain-generating muscles are relaxed without stripping away the support your joints rely on.
• Tissue differences are planned for. Response to treatment can differ in hypermobile patients, so plans include follow-up and adjustment rather than assuming a standard result.
• The whole picture is considered. TMJ, migraine, and sweating are assessed together with your broader symptom pattern, not as unrelated complaints.

Conditions Commonly Treated

• TMJ dysfunction and bruxism - jaw pain, clenching, tension radiating to temples, neck and shoulders
• Chronic migraine - preventive treatment, Health Canada approved
• Hyperhidrosis - excessive sweating, including dysautonomia-related patterns
