Testimonials

Dr. Grayson Blöm:

I was having back pain constantly and was seeing a chiropractor weekly to be adjusted. Now, being under upper cervical care I don’t have pain and my back stays in place all the time. I had also had headaches until this care. Now I’m not having headaches at all. It is nice to not be taking acetaminophen (Tylenol) all the time.

I have had pain in my shoulder and neck areas for years. It has gradually gotten worse. I have been under a chiropractor’s care all this time. The relief I got was minimal and temporary. I had grown used to living with the pain. A year ago I had an MRI showing several bulging disks in my neck causing nerve pressure in my shoulder area. I after beginning upper cervical care, I have very little pain left in my shoulder. My range of movement is better and I feel better overall. I really appreciate feeling so much better.

I first came to the office with shoulder pain. I have had this pain for many years and it was getting worse. I had been to see Family Doctors and general Chiropractors with no results. Since I began Upper Cervical Care Dr. Blöm found the cause of my problem and corrected it. I have had no pain and feel great. I think other people should come in because it really works.

About 8 months ago I began having problems with both my hands and arms. For some unknown reason my arms and hands began to get numb a lot and at night they would get so bad I could not sleep for they would not only become swollen the pain was excruciating. I was losing sleep and my work production dropped. I decided to seek medical attention. All the medical doctors did was prescribe me medication that would take the pain away while I slept but when I would awake my hands felt twice as bad. I met Dr. Blöm at a screening and on my first visit to his office he examined me and explained Upper Cervical Healthcare and how it could help my problems. I have now been seeing Dr. Blöm for 3 months and the results have been extraordinary. My hands no longer swell and I have been going longer and longer periods without any pain in my hands! I am now more productive at work and have been sleeping better. From the beginning Dr. Blöm told me that my body just needed a little help to heal and he couldn’t have been more right.

Thank you Dr. Blöm for making my daily life so much better.

I was in an auto accident in late August 2006. I have had 2 major operations to repair some of the damage I suffered in that accident, as I had three fractured vertebrae in my neck (now fused), and  three discs repaired (or trimmed) in my upper-mid back. There is more, but I will note bore you with details. The upshot of all of this is that I was an invalid for about 1 1/2 years, and contemplating a third surgery in August 2008, when I happened upon Dr. Grayson Blöm.

While I was feeling better than before the surgeries, I was having a big problem with sciatica in my right leg. It was getting difficult to walk. I was hunched over to the right, and my upper-mid back pain had not seen any significant improvement since recovery from the two surgeries in 2007. Dr. Blöm examined my spine, and explained how my upper neck was misaligned and it was affecting the rest of my back, and delaying or preventing healing.
I gave him a shot. Almost immediately, my sciatica was greatly reduced. I could walk again! Happy day! Since that time, the sciatica and other associated problems in my right leg have almost completely disappeared! I am FINALLY feeling some improvement in my upper-mid back.
I was not cured in one or two sessions. Realistically, I do not think that possible. The main point is, after all this time I finally have some hope. I continue to see Dr. Blöm once a week. I continue to improve. I continue to get some of my life back, bit by bit. I feel fortunate that I met Dr. Blöm maybe the Lord’s hand put him in my path. For that, I am grateful.
Sincerely,

I have never written a testimonial before, but I wanted to do so now. I have had migraines on an almost daily basis for 35 years. I’ve been to several doctors, spent thousands of dollars on tests, tried every drug that came out, but nothing stopped these terrible headaches. I took a lot of pain medication, which also caused depression, so I took medication for that too. 

Since I have been treated by you, my migraines are almost completely gone – I’ve only had 2 in the last nine months, both times because I was not diligent in keeping up with my visits to you. I will not let that happen again. I have never felt better in my life – I don’t use the pain or depression medication anymore and am saving hundreds of dollars a month on these medications and doctor visits. I had forgotten what it was like to feel good.

Update:  It has now been 14 months that you have been treating me and not only are the migraines gone, my allergies are gone and my allergy to shellfish has now disappeared as well.  I can eat shrimp again with no horrible headache!!!  I also had some lumps in both breasts that the doctors were watching.  Although they were considered benign fibrous tissue, they seemed to behave like we would watch them until they turned in to cancer. Well, these lumps are just not there any more.  So, I'm relieved about that too.  Also I have been taking thyroid replacement drugs for almost 20 years now for a sluggish thyroid and I am happy to report that this medication has been reduced 3 times.  I am currently taking no thyroid replacement until my next blood test to determine if I need any.  What a miracle!!  I have never felt better.

Thank you with all my heart.

I first started seeing Dr. Blom for sleeping problems most likely associated with my anxiety.  I have suffered from anxiety for about 6 years with the worst being about 4 years ago while I was in college.  Now, working full time as a teacher and continuing my education, my level of stress is as high as ever. I had been to other doctors and psychologists all of which prescribed some form of an anti-depressant, anti-anxiety, or sleeping pill.  After 6 years I was willing to try anything. Within a month of seeing Dr. Blom, I noticed myself sleeping and feeling much better.  My feelings of anxiety greatly decreased and I know that my feeling better improved my ability at work and school.  I forgot what it felt like to feel good. Beginning care with Dr. Blom has been one of the best decisions I have made. I feel great, healthy and happy thanks to Dr. Blom!

I first came to the office for Depression and Urinary Tract Problems.  I have been suffering with depression since my sophomore year of high school and have been having urinary tract problems consistently since my Junior year of high school. I have been everywhere for help with these problems. I have been to Psychologists, and was put on anti depressants for the depression. I have seen many urologists, done physical therapy and even had exploratory surgery.  Depression was controlled but never went away. No results with the urinary tract problems. Dr. Blöm has helped me greatly with both of these problems. I am happier than I have ever been and my Urinary Tract problems have gone away entirely. No more depression or Urinary problems! Others should come to the office simply because it works. The results that I have had with Dr. Blöm's Care are unlike anything I could ever imagine. After being educated about Upper Cervical Care and seeing it for myself the amazing results it can produce. I feel that everyone should receive Upper Cervical Care. It can change so many things for the better.

I first came to the office because I had been having neck pain and stiffness in my neck. After my very first adjustment I noticed my posture was better and I realized I had been limping slightly. That was resolved with treatment. It's wonderful to feel so good as I am 73 years old!

Update:  I just wanted to share some more of the positive changes that I have experienced since I began care in your office. First of all my neck and shoulder pain has really decreased, I used to get leg cramps frequently, and had trouble sleeping, all are greatly improved. Also I would like to mention that I haven't had a cold or been sick since I began care even though other people around me have been getting sick. I used to catch colds quite frequently but not anymore.  The most important thing I would like to share with you is that I went to my endocrinologist and he couldn't belive it but my thyroid has started working again so they had to reduce my thryroid hormone dosage. 

Thank you so much,

I have been impressed with all my experiences at Upper Cervical Clinics Of Idaho. I had previously gone to a couple of other Chiropractors that definitely helped me with my back pain. However, my over-all back health was very up and down, no matter what I or they did. Many of the adjustments and solutions they provided for my back pain always felt temporary or short term. My back problems and over-all health have felt much more consistent with the assistance I have received from Dr. Blom. I also feel like I'm progressively getting better instead of going up and down, over and over again.
 

The initial exam that I received from Dr. Blom immediately made me feel like he was different from other Chiropractors. The exam was much more thorough than I had previously experienced. He really tried to get to the root of my back problems and find the best solution to restore me to proper health. It also made me feel like I wasn't just another number on the patient list. I also feel that Dr. Blom has a large emphasis on patient education. He is always sharing great information with me at almost every appointment. He seems to have a passion for keeping himself and his patients up to date with the latest medical research and methods in wellness.

I've been dealing with back pain for around a decade now and I'm starting to feel like it is possible to get to a point where it won't be effecting my daily life. If you feel like your not making progress with your current chiropractic care provider, I recommend giving Upper Cervical Clinics Of Idaho a try. It feels like the future of chiropractic care.
