I suffered from severe headaches for about 12 years before seeing Dr. Blom. My headaches came and went during this period, and at times I would go several years without having one. However, when I had bouts with headaches, I would get two to three per month, with each headache lasting up to four days. The pain was severe, accompanied by intense nausea making it impossible to work. It was stressful for my family as well, as I was unavailable to them for long periods of time.
I searched for treatment over the years from nearly every possible outlet. I visited numerous neurologists, took dozens of medicines (none of which worked and many that had negative side effects) and tried anything else that could help. The only thing that gave me some relief (but not a cure) was chiropractic visits. I was ready to give up on traditional medical care.
I first visited Dr. Blom in the summer of 2011. Within the first two visits, I was already feeling relief. Dr. Blom’s inital diagnosis gave a clear picture of what he believed to be wrong, how he wanted to fix it, and how long he thought it would take. (This was in stark contrast to other “headache specialists” who would often shrug their shoulders and tell me that headaches were often a mystery and we had to experiment to find a cure.) Within a few months the headaches were coming less often, and their severity had lessened greatly. About a year after seeing Dr. Blom, my headaches had disappeared and my overall health had improved.
Dr. Blom’s approach is to focus on information, overall health and letting the body fix its problems. The difference he made in my health and quality of life was immense. Without his help, I believe that it may have become impossible to work regularly. My family is also happy with his efforts because now I am healthy and able to spend time with them every day.
