Coming here has unlocked more potential out of my physical capabilities after dealing with nerve tightness through my right extremities for about 6 years - very worth staying patient, investing in this, and sticking through it to better myself!

Now I'm not from Boise, however, I needed an opinion from someone who was high up in their field and Dr. Blom came across my desk during my research. I asked his office for some help and they absolutely delivered in spades. Based on the interaction that I had with Dr. Blom's office, it was very apparent that he takes his job seriously with a focus towards the patient receiving the best care possible. 100% have to go to Dr. Blom for his expertise and his care.

UPDATE: I’ve been working with Dr. Blom at Upper Cervical Health Centers of Boise for several years and continue to appreciate his in-depth understanding and application of the chiropractic sciences. I still can’t believe after a lifetime of more “traditional” chiropractic care, that this method is so effective and long-lasting!
Dr. Blom is very approachable and knowledgeable, and is genuinely interested in the overall health and wellbeing of his patients. Thank you, Doctor!!

I had known about upper cervical care for years, but finally made an appointment after realizing “traditional” chiropractic was not providing lasting results and was not improving my chronic conditions. I had tried several different chiropractors over the years, and also went to physical therapy for specific concerns. Dr. Blom identified my pain pattern and customized an approach to my treatment. The science and results behind upper cervical care are really quite amazing! I am so appreciative to be experiencing significantly less pain and much quicker recovery.

I am so grateful for Dr. Blom!  I suffered several injuries from cheerleading and gymnastics at a young age. I was seen by many different chiropractors and doctors throughout my life yet I never seemed to be getting out of pain.  I even had a herniated disc in my neck 10 years ago and it caused me to have to quit my job as a dental hygienist. It wasn't until I met Dr. Blom that I felt I got my life back. I can now enjoy my hobbies pain free, and fortunately I can continue to work my job as a hygienist without pain. His approach is very different from any chiropractor I have ever seen before. He doesn't do the typical popping and cracking up and down the spine.  It is a very gentle “nudge” at the top of the neck. He is very meticulous, precise and detailed with his measurements in order to get the adjustment correct. Dr Blom is incredibly knowledgeable and well read. I would easily refer him to any family member or friend, and I do!

Migraines,Vertigo,  Sinus Headaches, neck and jaw pain, hip pain plagued me for years.

Numerous therapies, medications and treatment had failed to give relief.  CT Scans,  Physical Therapy,  X-rays, ENT visits before I was lucky enough to have a good friend refer me to Dr. Blom.

I have been given back my active life.  No longer suffering from 2-3 migraines a month has been amazing.

My advice is to give it a try.  It has been wonderful knowing that I know longer have to suffer.

Working with Dr. Blom gave me back my life… I waited to get started with him when it was almost too late. I’m 71. When I was 27 I was in a car accident bad enough to give me a concussion, lifelong neck pain and years of severe migraines. I worked with regular chiropractors for over 40 years. My most previous regular chiropractor urged me to see an upper cervical chiropractor and recommended Dr. Blom. I resisted because treatment requires x-rays. Then one morning I leaned my head back to add eye drops to my dry eyes and I was suddenly in severe vertigo, which went on for five hours. The world was spinning, I was throwing up, experiencing hot flashes, chills, and diarrhea.  Initial suspicion was BPPV, but tests were negative. I made an appt the same day with Dr. Blom. He took X-rays, noted data, and studied my neck vertebra over the weekend. On Monday I came in for my first adjustment. I initially worked with Dr. Blom twice a week. I could not drive because vertigo was random.  After three months I was able to go two weeks between adjustments. Within four months I was able to hold an adjustment for 4 to 5 weeks. We were able to return to our retirement plans of traveling in remote backcountry desert for months at a time.  We would return to Boise once a month for an adjustment when the vertigo returned. I haven’t experienced severe vertigo for 6 months now. These days the indicators are neck or shoulder pain, and mild dizziness.  Last spring my husband and I went to New Zealand for 2.5 months. I did need an adjustment 5 weeks in and Dr. Blom helped me find an upper cervical chiropractor while we were traveling (Dr. Karyn Brent near Christchurch). Early this summer I fell and jammed my neck, the last time I experienced severe vertigo, and had to find an upper cervical chiropractor in Portland, Oregon. That did not go well and we had to return to Boise to be adjusted by Dr. Blom. It made me realize how very, very lucky I was to have found him!

To anyone pondering whether or not to start this kind of chiropractic work, I urge you not to hesitate any longer. If I had started years ago when I was first referred my neck would never have gotten to the unstable condition that it did. I feel very fortunate to have a life to live again, because it sure didn’t seem like it 1.5 years ago. This type of chiropractic is extremely gentle. There’s no “cracking” happening. It’s literally like the touch of a feather and at first I was skeptical that something that gentle could work. Not anymore… I have a life again.

Dr. Blom totally helped me. I have had back pain for most of my life and after getting my atlas adjusted it has gone away. I’m very grateful to him!

I have suffered from vertigo for over 12 years. It started out with mild bouts once in a while but progressed to full-blown debilitating attacks several times a year where I would vomit and couldn't walk, even with help. I woke up nauseous every day and it would take hours of moving around before it subsided. I tried physical therapy, motion-sickness drugs, and positioning maneuvers. Chiropractic care helped a bit temporarily but nothing resolved the issue. After doing some research, I read about upper cervical care and this led me to Dr. Blom. He explained the reasons for the vertigo and the treatment method he uses. I will admit that I was very skeptical at first. I've been seeing him for several months now and I can't believe the difference! I no longer wake up nauseous and I have not had a single full-blown vertigo attack since my first visit. I am so grateful for his care! He's truly given me my life back. 💖

In September 2022 I sought out Dr. Blom for help with several different areas. I have been suffering from neck pain, hip pain, back pain and a clogged drain feeling in my head. I felt like I couldn’t swallow correctly. I went in for an initial consultation, and was very happy when he said he thought he could help me. I am 77 years old, and was very concerned that my condition had been going on for so long that nobody would be able to help. After the first couple adjustments (which are unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before.) I felt relief with the clog drained symptom. Also my x-ray showed that my scoliosis was straighter than before. I had trouble holding my adjustments in the beginning, but as we went on, I was able to hold longer and longer. I felt a lot of relief of pain in various areas. I am very pleased with the results  over the past year and I am confident in treatment for the future. Dr. Blom is personable very informative and very professional. I definitely recommend his care for anyone who has been suffering from pain of any sort. After all, when your heads on straight, the rest of you is straight. If he could help someone at my age, I am sure he can help most people.
