Don’t Take Our Word For It
Read What Our Patients Have to Say About the Blatman Pain Clinic

Dr. Richard Wolterman, DDS; Work and Golf
Condition: Back Pain
“I don’t have a lot of time to get better when my back hurts. Bad backs are an occupational hazard in dentistry. Treatment with Dr. Blatman gets me out of pain, back to work and back on the golf course with a minimal amount of down time. Having this treatment available has been an indispensable part of my life in terms of doing the things I need and love to do.”

Chris Uhlhorn
Condition: Acute Groin Strain, Chronic Calf Strain and Pain; Tennis Player
“I visited Dr. Blatman to receive relief from a strained groin, and recurrent calf pain due to an injury a year ago. After two visits where Dr. Blatman performed the trigger point injection technique, both problems have been resolved and I have been able to resume all activities including playing tennis 3 times a week. I would highly recommend Dr. Blatman and his associates to anyone who seeks relief from injuries similar to what I had.”

Linda Cosby
Condition: Fibromyalgia
“Since beginning treatment with Dr. Blatman, I’ve lost 30 pounds and gone from being unable to walk without help, to a career singing and dancing at retirement communities, sometimes up to four hours a day.”

Alan Rosenberg
Condition: Pulled groin muscle, tennis elbow
“Within ten days, my groin muscle pain was gone and the elbow tendonitis pain resolved in a slightly longer time. Both problems have gone away with no recurrence.”

Chris Modrall
Condition: Chronic Headaches
“Like so many people who suffer with chronic headaches, I had gotten only partial relief from traditional medicine. Dr. Blatman understands the impact of headache pain. His emphasis on multiple techniques made a big difference for me. His care has lessened my headache pain and significantly improved the quality of my life”

Teri Boynton
Condition: Sports injury, Hip pain
“After years of playing competitive tennis, I developed a hip problem. I was in pain daily and forced to limit my exercise. This was a real blow to me because exercise had always been a part of my life. I tried anti-inflammatory medications and physical therapy, but nothing worked. I was afraid I was going to have to live the rest of my life like this. That’s when I was introduced to Dr. Blatman’s philosophies. By implementing his ideas of wellness into my life and selective trigger point injections, I’m happy to say that I am now happy, healthy and pain free. If more people knew about the Blatman Pain Clinic, they too could feel like a teenager again. Thanks, Dr. Blatman!”

Sylvia Link
Condition: Fibromyalgia
“After suffering with widespread pain for two years, I was told it was all in my head and that nothing could be done for my condition as nothing appeared on an x-ray or MRI. After joining a fibromyalgia support group, I was referred to Dr. Blatman. I found [it] to be very calm[ing] and reassuring that my pain was real. We discussed medication, therapies exercise and diet changes and Dr. Blatman literally walked with me in reclaiming my life. My pain lessened, my sleep patterns improved and the quality of my life was better. I once again began to have hope of walking pain free. I thank God for giving me the opportunity to enjoy this gift of life. My only regret is not coming to Dr. Blatman’s office sooner."

Wendy Andrews
Condition: Chronic Pain and Unrelenting Migraine Headache
“When I first went to Dr. Blatman two years ago, I was spending 1-3 days a week in bed with severe neck pain, headaches and nausea. I had had migraines for 40 years and been to countless doctors, but did not receive any help. I had also developed chronic myofascial pain in my neck. Now, two years later, I haven't been bed-ridden with a 'sick pain' event in my neck - or head - once, and I have a life again, thanks to Dr. Blatman's expert knowledge, thoughtful help and perserverance. He has used multiple techniques to help me: migraine medication which works to release trigger points and relieves the pain in my neck area, trigger point injections, using the "ball on the wall," followed by stretching and exercises, diet changes, natural hormone therapy, supplements and all kinds of other helpful suggestions and advice. --I thank God for Dr. Blatman

Dr. David Starlanyl
Condition: Chronic Pain
“The key to relieving chronic pain, especially fibromyalgia and myofascial pain, requires identification and treatment of perpetuating factors. This must be done on a patient-by-patient basis, due to the variables these conditions present. Dr. Blatman provides this total patient care. His healthcare team provides the right combination of medication, bodywork, lifestyle modification and education that will decrease your symptoms, increase your function and enable you to maintain a healthier life. I say this from personal experience.

KG
Condition: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Chronic Fatigue was my diagnosis in 2005. How do you treat Chronic Fatigue? Well, there is no magic pill or cure. So I suffered for almost 2 years. I felt like I was coming down with a bad cold 24x7. I had severe body aches and was so tired I could barely make it through a day of work and taking care of my family. It was a gradual progression that went from bad to worse. It started with 1 day a month being so tired and having body aches that I could not make it to work. I then progressed to 2-4 days of missed work every month and missing my life. I slept so much my bed sheets just fell apart! I could sleep for 12-14 hours and still be tired 2 hours after I woke up. I went to my family doctor month after month. My immune system was in such bad shape I would catch a cold from someone that walked by me. She prescribed anti-depressants and antibiotics. I was too tired to care what was going on in my life. I couldn't stay awake long enough to have a life. I was miserable. I started doing searches on the Internet to find an answer or a magic pill to help me feel better. I did not find a magic pill but I did find Blatman Pain Clinic. One of the specialties listed was Chronic Fatigue so I called for an appointment. Dr. Blatman ordered a simple salvia test and prescribed natural herbs and vitamins to help with the fatigue. When I returned for the results I was pleased to hear him say,” I know what your problem is, you are Gluten Intolerant!” Finally I had an answer to my problem, but not so fast. I had no idea what being Gluten Intolerant meant. So Dr. Blatman explained I could never eat Flour, Wheat, Rye, Barley and Oats again. He explained it would take many months for my body to start healing even after I changed my diet. It took 3 months before I noticed any significant improvement. But during my recovery he helped me with the pain and fatigue I was battling. I was cautious about many of his recommendations but I have found out the hard way to follow his advise. Caffeine he told me was not good for me, but it was the only thing keeping me awake I thought. After careful planning I removed caffeine from my diet, to my surprise I had the best nights sleep in 20 years! It has been 2 years since my diagnosis and I have my life back on track. I had gained 15 pounds due to my inactive life style. I have lost the weight and been able to get off my blood pressure medicine. I stopped taking anti-depressants after the first year. My energy level is back to normal. I can keep up with my hectic job and 2 teenage children. I am a single parent and they count on me! Thank You Dr. Blatman
