When I first came in, I was dealing with severe vertigo. My vertigo was so bad that I could not get out of bed or walk unassisted. Every doctor I called said there was no treatment for it.
I found Dr. Blom on Google and gave him a call and heard the words I was desperate to hear, “I can help with that!” After learning that my neck was the problem of my vertigo and we began working on the alignment, I began to trust the process of incremental healing, and not a one and done fix. It was difficult at times because I just wanted my normal life back right away. There were weeks I came in so dizzy that I couldn’t walk straight or drive myself, but my neck was aligned so I was sent back home to let my body heal itself. This is where trust and understanding of long term healing came into play as I had to override my frustrations and disappointments.
Just as designed, my healing was happening the whole time! The longer I stayed in alignment, the more I saw the evidence. I compared my healing to an onion. It happened in layers. First were the symptoms of no double vision. I felt my legs and feet and the direction they were going and so on. I eventually felt the healing in my very core and got my equilibrium back! Layer by layer and little by little, Dr. Blom gave me my normal life back.
Instead of the quick fix, he gave me a long term correction to my neck for a better quality of life that will last. There were weeks I wanted something different than what he did, but I kept reminding myself that this was a process that Dr. Blom dealt with everyday and he knows what he is doing. I am living proof that he definitely knows what he is doing, and has the knowledge to give you the outcome you are wanting and hoping for.
