TMJ Pain Relief

I am writing to share my experience and highly recommend Dr. Erienne Blanchard for anyone suffering from TMJ, neck, or head pain. After struggling with severe TMJ pain for ten months, I initially sought help from top dental experts. Despite spending significant time and over $ 2,300 on a specialized night guard, I saw zero improvement. My concerns that the pain might be related to my neck were dismissed, and I felt the treatment I received was limited by a narrow focus on dental issues. At a friend's recommendation, I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Blanchard, an expert in TMJ and neck-related issues. Despite a five -hour drive each way, the 90- minute consultation was transformative. After a thorough review of my MRI and physical assessment, she confirmed that my pain was rooted in my neck and head rather then my teeth. She performed targeted adjustments and dry needling, and provided specific exercises for me to follow. Following my second appointment and diligent adherence to her program, my pain level has dropped from a 10 to a 2. Doctor Blanchard is exceptionally knowledgeable, responsive to follow-up questions, and truly dedicated to her patients' recovery. I place her in the top one percent of doctors and strongly recommend her services to anyone facing similar issues. Ed E

Erin is amazing!!! Super intelligent! She has helped me so much with my TMD/ Upper Cervical Pain. I Recommened everyone having any upper cerival/ body pain to see her for treatment ASAP. She will guide you through the whole process. I have had constant head pain, neck pain and ear symptoms/pain for years and have been put through the ringer with doctors and dentists. Tons of trauma mentally and physically with my process and Erin has helped me with all of that. She also has a whole team of like minded doctors and dentists to refer you to for other issues :) Please see her if you are in pain and have given up and need help :)

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!!

I recently had my first appointment with Dr. Blanchard and she is amazing! As others have said, she is truly caring and knowledgeable. She provided super clear explanations for everything and covers so many bases regarding diagnosis and treatment for head, neck, and jaw pain. I would definitely recommend her to others struggling with pain in these areas and look forward to continuing treatment with her knowledge and guidance!
Headache Relief

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. New update: it’s now been a whole year since I have had neck pain or a headache. I used to have to be constantly aware about how I moved my head and how I slept. A wrong move or sleeping wrong could cause me 12 hours of misery. Now I don’t even think about my neck as a problem. I just go about my life, free from head and neck pain anymore. From the very beginning, I made a commitment that I was going to do the exercises that Dr. Blanchard gave me. I have disciplined myself to do my exercises at least five days a week. They are quite simple and it only takes 10 to 15 minutes to do them. In the past, I often exercised until I felt better and then quit. This time is different. There’s no way that I am going to go back to the misery that I experienced at least once a week before I went to see Dr. Blanchard. If you have cervicogenic headaches and have tried everything else, try Dr. Blanchard!

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.

Neck Injury Care

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.

Complex Case Help
Go Gators

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!

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.

Several years ago, I was referred to Dr. Blanchard from my family dentist. I was in a world of pain, off the charts most days. I was not able to sleep and there was nothing that could soothe the pain in my jaw and neck. I had all but given up and thought that I would deal with my pain for the rest of my life. Oh was I wrong. My first visit with Dr. Blanchard blew me away and drove me to tears, this time of happiness. She diagnosed me within 10 minutes and made a treatment plan with me, provided me exercises, walked me through what my body was going through, answered my many questions, scheduled follow-up appointments, and ultimately gave me hope. Through it all, she made me feel like I was the most important patient to her. Fast forward to now, I’m in a maintenance phase of my treatment and see her every few months. Dr. Blanchard is the perfect blend of professional and personal and is so so worth going through treatment. It will be different for everyone but her care for her patients and the love of what she does is vibrant and seen every time i see her. Her diligence and patience with my issues changed my life and led me to a life of little pain, with management tools a plenty, and her expertise and medical opinions not far away when I need them.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Blanchard for a few years now, and she’s hands down one of the best providers I’ve worked with. She’s smart, passionate, and genuinely cares. Before finding her, I saw multiple specialists and therapists but never got any real relief. I honestly wasn’t sure I’d ever feel functional again. Thanks to her, I’ve gotten my mobility and strength back. She takes the time to explain everything and tailors treatment to what I actually need. I highly recommend her! She’s truly a lifesaver!!
