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.
How does chiropractic care fit into your holistic wellness approach?
Chiropractic care focuses on the relationship between the spine and the nervous system, addressing misalignments that can cause pain and dysfunction throughout the body. Our chiropractors use gentle, controlled adjustments to realign the spine, improving nerve function and promoting overall health. Chiropractic care can be an effective treatment for various conditions, including back pain, neck pain, headaches, and more.
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.

Our holistic approach to wellness is suitable for individuals of all ages and levels of physical activity.

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.
