Erienne M. Blanchard, PT

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Erienne Blanchard is the best of the best!! Her deep intellect and understanding have me walking out of each appointment with less pain and newly acquired information to help with the journey forward. I cannot recommend Dr. Erienne Blanchard enough (especially if you struggle with hypermobility / connective tissue difficulties) !

Experiencia fantástica: Fantastic results thought i had an abcessed tooth dentist didnt find anything referred to dr blanchard knew whst it was (strained neck muscle) fixed me right up explained all procedures and sent me exercises to keep from re injury Highly recomend

Experiencia fantástica: Should done this long ago, I’ve been with Dr Blanchard for 2-3 years. When I first came to her I was a mess and no one, including fancy big name M.Ds, I mean likes of Mayo Clinic trained physicians and big name Universities like the one in Atlanta knew what to do. They don’t think outside the box, it’s sad- they just want you quickly out the door and like listen to their own echo, let alone listen and solve your individual problem. It cost me so much money and valuable time. I did some research initially and seems dry needling may help. When I saw her, thought what it could be she was the only one who had knew exactly what I referring to. Crazy muscle contraction and pain, causing me: I couldn’t breathe/walk far, eye floaters tinnitus blurred vision sinus type congestion, thoracic outlet syndrome. Only dry needling helped, no medication/massage alone worked. I am now working, walking as far as I want, floaters/tinnitus out the door. I still have ways to go but this lady and a doctor who specialized in thoracic outlet syndrome in Chicago literally saved my life. Traditional medicine gave up on me when debilitated and literally dying. But she didn’t, I am so thankful for her, can’t recommend her enough.

Experiencia fantástica: I wanted to update my review from several weeks ago. It’s now been five months since I have had neck pain or a headache. This is a big improvement over the one or two a week that I was having before Dr. Blanchard worked on me. I thank God and Dr. Blanchard that I have my life back again! Every day I do about 15 minutes of exercise that she prescribed. It’s well worth the time it takes.

Experiencia fantástica: Around 6 months since finishing my program, I have not had any recurring issues. Highly recommend. In addition to feeling better, I now have a better understanding about pain in general and have implemented processes for relief in other parts of the body not addressed at this location.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Blanchard is AMAZING!! My physician referred me to her for vestibular problems. Dr. Blanchard put me at ease from the first time we spoke. I have seen her for vestibular and balance issues, physical therapy, and dry needling. My life has improved dramatically since I have been seeing her. Dr. Blanchard is incredibly knowledgeable and she explains things thoroughly. She is efficient, accommodating, considerate, very encouraging, genuinely caring and kind. I HIGHLY recommend her. It is obvious she loves what she does, helping improve other people’s lives, and is truly a joy to work with.

Experiencia fantástica: Ten years ago I contracted an illness that caused swelling in my brain and spinal cord. This lead to a host of neurological issues, atrophy, weakness, peripheral neuropathies, abnormal heart rate fluctuations (high HR with no underlying cause), dizziness and instability, auditory hypersensitivity, photosensitivity, muscle tension dysphonia, and debilitating head and neck pain (among so many other symptoms). I have visited numerous specialty Neurologists in Gainesville, Tampa, and Jacksonville. I spent 17 days in the Nation’s top neuro inpatient treatment program in Ann Arbor, Michigan; and two weeks at a neuro outpatient program in Tampa. I underwent “long-term” PT treatment with “the best” specialist in vestibular therapy at the University of Florida. None of them were able to help me! Some of the treatments even caused worsening symptoms. Praise the Lord that the Chief Doctor of PT from the inpatient treatment program (Michigan) referred me to Dr. Blanchard! She is AMAZING! For the first time someone has been able to explain what is going on in my body, how it’s all connected, and how we can ease my symptoms! As soon as she started treating me, we were able to track objective progress in a positive direction! Literally, for YEARS I was stuck with the same trending vitals. But the first month working with Dr. Blanchard broke the streak! Immediately my symptoms had improvements in areas that I didn’t even know could be corrected! I am so impressed with her! I will be honest, at first I was a bit worried about her practice being “out of network” for my insurance company. Having such significant health issues I end up having to spend a lot of money on my healthcare. Meaning, I don’t have a lot of expendable income to throw around. But I decided to give her a shot; and boy am I thankful I did!! Before, I spent so much money on my deductibles just to get 20 minutes out of my hour-long PT visits with the actual doctor, I worked on treatments that didn’t help my functionality, and often caused worsening of my symptoms. Now with Dr. Blanchard, I spend a little more money up-front but I get the full hour with the doctor, EVERYTHING is included in the cost- even specialty treatments like dry-needling, I’m actually getting treatments that improve my life, I learn about *why* and *how* these specific treatments help improve my condition, and at the end of the day I’m still able to submit my invoices to my insurance company for reimbursement! Also, I found out that her patients statistically achieve their wellness goals quicker than the average PT treatment plan (usually 5 to 6 treatments!). Taking all of that into consideration, it’s a *major* upgrade in the PT “experience” compared to what I was accustomed to in the past! Physicians may have saved my life in the hospital; but Dr. Blanchard has saved (and improved!) my quality of life! I am genuinely forever grateful. What a blessing Dr. Blanchard has been to me! Thanks for challenging me, Doc! You’re a godsend to your patients!

Experiencia fantástica: I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Blanchard. She is truly passionate and cares about what she does and her patients. She is thorough and listens to the patient. I felt results from her treatment plan within 2 visits. I look forward to my visits with Dr. Blanchard and am thankful for what she does. Her expertise in head/neck/jaw is like none other.

Experiencia fantástica: My husband and I have both been to see Dr. Blanchard and she was great! She is very caring, kind, professional and definitely fixes the problem. We both highly recommend her!!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Blanchard provides the most comprehensive treatment for the head and neck. She combines a wide range of techniques for increased mobility and decreased pain. She has used manual manipulation and dry needle along with various exercises to treat my cervical spine. I highly recommend her.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Erienne Blanchard is a phenomenal physical therapist! She has been the only person who has actually made progress on my postural issues/ TMJ clenching as a dentist. I have sent multiple patients to her for their clenching/grinding habits and they have all reported back with awesome results and thanked me!! If you have any head and neck issues you want resolved and hate having to spend thousands of dollars on night guards and Botox that don't work for you, then Erienne Blanchard is your answer!!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Blanchard was quickly able to assess the underlying cause of my symptoms and gave me all the information necessary to connect with my primary care provider. She's exceptionally knowledgeable, deeply focused on patient outcomes, and an all-around wonderful person to work with.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Blanchard is one of the foremost experts in treating cervical spine injuries. After being crushed under an industrial piece of equipment, multiple disks in my cervical spine were severely damaged. It took years and multiple physicians to finally have my injury accurately diagnosed and corrected surgically. Many of those physicians did not want to be bothered and passed me along to the next. Dr. Blanchard NEVER gave up on my injuries and had it diagnosed correctly from day one. Her knowledge and experience are unparalleled with her integrity and passion to give her patients the absolute BEST care.
