No one wants to be in pain, and when you are, all you can think about is relief. But pain, whether constant or sporadic, is your body’s way of telling you that something is wrong and needs attention. It is not always obvious exactly what that something is. For instance, myofascial pain is caused by tension deep within a muscle that travels through nerves and causes pain in other areas of the body, making it difficult for people to identify the origin of their own pain.

Eliminate the cause, eliminate the pain.
At the Blatman Pain Clinic, our goal is not only to relieve your pain, but also to unlock the source of your pain and work towards eliminating the cause. We do this through a customized combination of traditional medical treatments and holistic therapies, such as dietary changes, exercises and acupressure. Depending upon the patient and diagnosis, we may suggest proven alternative therapies or non-drug pain treatments in order to stimulate the mind and body’s natural healing power. We believe patient education and support are the keys to continued good health, and will teach you techniques to manage and prevent pain long after you have left our office.

This unique, holistic approach to diagnosing, treating and managing chronic pain can greatly improve your quality of life now and into the future. In the "Articles" section you can read Dr. Blatman's thoughts and articles about various topics including: Fibromyalgia, Myofascial Pain, Sports Injuries, Prolotherapy, Nutrition, and others. Other authors contributed to articles about EEG biofeedback, Thought Field Therapy and body cleansing.

Prolotherapy -- Accelerate Healing and Regeneration of Ligament, Tendon, and Joint Cartilage.
If you have a tendon or ligament injury and traditional methods have not provided relief, then Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy may be the solution. Platelet Rich Plasma comes from your own blood and maximizes the body's natural ability to heal itself. Treatment with Platelet Rich Plasma may help with joint pain, old sprain injuries, muscle injury, and recovery from ligament and tendon injuries. There is also exciting success with treating Osgood-Schlatter's disease in children.
