Dr. Victoria Tate, MD
Medical Director
Dr. Victoria Tate is the Medical Director at Bloom Physical Medical. She was born and raised in Southern California and completed her undergraduate education at Yale University. After two years conducting biomedical research at the National Institutes of Health in the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, she returned to New Haven for medical school and graduated from Yale School of Medicine.
Dr. Tate came to know and love Greenville after relocating here for residency education in orthopedic surgery. After making the tough decision to leave life as a surgeon, she worked in home hospice and palliative care, traveling around the Upstate.
“During my time in surgery, I experienced several patients who were addicted to pain medication after their injuries or surgery. When I was practicing in end-of-life care, many times, there were few other options for symptom relief other than opiate prescriptions. The integrated model is so great because we can help patients achieve their goals while being drug and surgery free.”
Dr.Tate has been published in several peer-reviewed scientific journals for her research in orthopedics. She is a member of the American Medical Association and she is certified in Advanced Musculoskeletal Injections.

Trica Haraway
Care Coordinator
After working many years in the traditional medicine setting, she found herself both professionally and personally frustrated with a system that seemed to only prescribe pills and suggest surgical procedures. Once she discovered Integrated Medicine and the different options it offers to patients, like getting to the root of the issue, and treating the body as a whole, she had a renewed spark for the medical field again.
Trica looks forward to meeting new faces and helping them on their journey to adding life to their years.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you explain the benefits of IV nutrition?
Intravenous (IV) nutrition is a method of delivering essential vitamins, minerals, and amino acids directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system. This allows for maximum absorption and immediate availability of these vital nutrients. IV nutrition can help boost energy levels, support the immune system, optimize athletic performance, and promote overall wellness.
What can I expect from your exercise rehabilitation services?
Exercise rehabilitation aims to restore strength, flexibility, and function to injured muscles, joints, and other soft tissues. Our skilled therapists assess your specific needs and create a customized exercise program to address any imbalances, weaknesses, or movement limitations. Exercise rehabilitation can help accelerate recovery, reduce the risk of re-injury, and improve overall physical performance.
Who can benefit from the services offered at Bloom Physical Medicine?

Whether you are dealing with chronic pain, recovering from an injury, or looking to optimize your overall health, our services can provide the support and resources you need to achieve your wellness goals.
How does shockwave therapy work, and what conditions can it treat?
Shockwave therapy is a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic sound waves to stimulate the body's natural healing processes. These sound waves penetrate deep into tissues, promoting blood flow, reducing inflammation, and accelerating the repair of damaged cells. Shockwave therapy is effective in treating various conditions, including chronic pain, sports injuries, tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and more.
What is trigger point therapy, and how can it benefit me?
Trigger point therapy is a manual therapy technique that targets specific areas of muscle tightness or "knots" called trigger points. These trigger points can cause discomfort, pain, or even refer pain to other areas of the body. Our skilled therapists apply direct pressure to these points, releasing tension and improving blood flow. Trigger point therapy can help alleviate pain, increase range of motion, and improve overall muscle function.
What should I expect during my first visit?
Your first visit at Bloom Physical Medicine will consist of a comprehensive evaluation, during which our specialist will review your medical history and discuss your symptoms, limitations, and goals for therapy. The specialist will then perform a thorough physical examination to assess your strength, flexibility, range of motion, posture, and functional abilities. Based on the findings, the specialist will develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and goals.
