Today we’d like to introduce you to Dr. Hal Blatman. Them and their team share their story with us below:
Hal S. Blatman, MD is the founder and medical director of the Blatman Health and Wellness Center, and a nationally recognized specialist in treating myofascial pain. He is credentialed in Pain Management and Board Certified in Occupational and Environmental Medicine and in Integrative Holistic Medicine.
After receiving his medical degree from the Medical College of Pennsylvania in 1980, Dr. Blatman completed two years of training in orthopedic surgery. He later studied ergonomics during his residency in Occupational and Environmental Medicine at the University of Cincinnati Hospital. For several years, Dr. Blatman practiced family medicine while managing a chain of urgent care facilities. From beginnings in conventional orthopedic surgery DrB earned his way to President of the American Holistic Medical Association.
During Dr. Blatman’s tenure in general medicine, he recognized western medicine’s difficulty treating and managing chronic and myofascial pain. Consequently, he studied with the late Janet Travell, MD, then recognized as the world’s leading expert in treating myofascial pain disorders.
In 1988, Dr. Blatman established Cincinnati’s first clinic specifically dedicated to providing traditional and holistic pain treatment solutions.
Dr. Blatman is a Board Certified Practitioner of Integrative and Holistic Medicine. Dr. Blatman is a Past-President of the American Holistic Medical Association.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road?
One of the main obstacles is that my treatments are outside the box. When I started my practice I was the only one doing Trigger Points Injections. Doctors referred to it as voodoo medicine. Now many doctors offer this methodology and I helped pave the way.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about what you do? What are you most proud of?
What I am most proud of at Blatman Health and Wellness Center is that we have figured out a different paradigm through which to understand pain and what needs to happen in our biology for pain to go away. It works better than 90% of the time, no matter your diagnosis or how long you have suffered.
We specialize in how to bio hack your biology to help you heal, to speed healing and allow for recovery from illness and pain.
Where do you see things going in the next 5-10 years?
My hope for the medical industry is that people will become more educated in what they need to learn so they can avoid chronic illness and disease and heal from their medical issues. The shift will be away from pharmaceutical medicine and towards nutrition and integrative holistic paradigms.
