PHYSICAL THERAPY IN SAN MATEO

DR. JOHN BLENIO - San Mateo Chiropractor, specializes in injury recovery through physical rehab and exercise therapy.

Welcome to High Amplitude Health!

I am Dr. John Blenio, and I am a Doctor of Chiropractic offering comprehensive physical rehabilitation and exercise therapy services to patients who are recovering from injuries or suffering from pain. My approach combines traditional chiropractic techniques with physical therapeutic methods and soft tissue methods to provide a more holistic and effective treatment plan. In addition to the services commonly offered by physical therapists, such as exercise therapy and rehabilitation, I also incorporate specialized therapeutic methods, including myofascial therapy, sports massage, trigger point therapy, and vibration therapy (massage gun). This unique combination of treatments sets my services apart and ensures that my patients receive the most comprehensive care possible.

HOW I CAN HELP YOU:

PHYSICAL REHABILITATION AND EXERCISE THERAPY

As a chiropractor specializing in physical rehabilitation and exercise therapy, I work closely with my patients to develop personalized treatment plans that address their specific needs and goals. Through a combination of targeted exercises, stretches, and manual therapies, I help patients regain strength, flexibility, and range of motion following an injury or surgery. Whether you're recovering from a sports-related injury, a car accident, or a work-related incident, I can help you regain your mobility and get back to your daily activities.

MYOFASCIAL THERAPY

Myofascial therapy is a specialized treatment that targets the fascia, a thin layer of connective tissue that surrounds and supports the muscles and organs. By applying gentle pressure and stretching techniques to the affected areas, I can release tension and improve mobility, helping to alleviate pain and discomfort. Myofascial therapy is particularly effective for conditions such as fibromyalgia, chronic back pain, and repetitive strain injuries.

SPORTS MASSAGE

Sports massage is a therapeutic technique designed to enhance athletic performance, prevent injuries, and promote faster recovery. Using a combination of deep tissue massage, stretching, and joint mobilization, I can help athletes of all levels optimize their physical performance and reduce the risk of injuries. Sports massage is not limited to professional athletes—it can benefit anyone who engages in physical activities, from weekend warriors to gym enthusiasts.

TRIGGER POINT THERAPY

Trigger points are tight knots or bands of muscle fibers that can cause localized pain and referred pain in other areas of the body. Trigger point therapy involves applying direct pressure to these points to release tension and alleviate pain. By targeting these trigger points, I can help relieve chronic pain conditions such as tension headaches, fibromyalgia, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.

VIBRATION THERAPY USING A MASSAGE GUN

Vibration therapy using a massage gun is a non-invasive technique that utilizes high-frequency vibrations to promote muscle relaxation and enhance circulation. This therapy can help reduce muscle soreness, improve range of motion, and accelerate the healing process. Whether you're an athlete looking to optimize your recovery or an individual seeking relief from muscle tension, vibration therapy can be a valuable addition to your treatment plan.

CHIROPRACTIC SPINAL MANIPULATION

Chiropractic spinal manipulation is a central component of my services and offers numerous benefits to patients recovering from injuries or experiencing pain. By applying controlled and precise manual adjustments to the spine, chiropractic spinal manipulation can correct misalignments, improve joint function, and alleviate pressure on nerves. This therapy promotes the body's natural healing process, reduces inflammation, and enhances overall musculoskeletal health. Chiropractic spinal manipulation has been shown to effectively treat conditions such as back pain, neck pain, headaches, and sciatica. It is a safe and non-invasive treatment option that can significantly improve your quality of life and facilitate your recovery journey.

Some individuals may experience immediate relief or improvements in their symptoms after a session, while others may require multiple sessions to achieve significant results. Your chiropractor or therapist will assess your condition and develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs, which may include a recommended number of sessions for optimal results.
