Expertise and Treatment Styles:

1. Functional Movement Evaluation and Treatment:

Like a car, the human body has a right way and a wrong way that it should work. Dr. Bletsoe is skilled at detecting problems in the body’s movement system (i.e. the Neuro-muscular-skeletal system) and correcting the cause using manual therapy, lifestyle recommendations and specific exercise prescription.

This is important for you if you suffer from problems in these areas:

Lower back and pelvis
Neck and shoulders
Headaches
Facial and jaw dysfunction
Wrists and elbows
Knees, feet and lower limbs

2. Therapeutic Lifestyle Change

Dr. Bletsoe applies the science of natural healing towards the prevention and conservative treatment of the cause of the problem, that is – the lifestyle and stress behaviours, that create the majority of death and disability in our modern society.

This is important for you if you suffer from or are at risk of:

Cardiovascular disease (#1 leading cause of death in North America)
Cancer (#2)
Stroke (#3)
Diabetes (#4)
Depression
Chronic Pain
Headaches
Obesity
Stress
Sleep problems - restless sleep, sleep apnea, insomnia

3. Breathing Pattern Dysfunction / Hyperventilation Syndrome

As a former asthmatic, until his early twenties, Dr. Bletsoe knows what it is like to struggle with breathing problems. Even more disabling can be the long lasting repercussions of improper breathing on the body structure, chemistry and the mind.

It was Dr. Bletsoe's first chiropractor that unlocked the chains asthma had on his life. Later, just before graduating, Dr. Bletsoe's academic mentor introduced him to the science of Breathing Pattern Dysfunction (BPD) and Hyperventilation Syndrome (HVS). It has been his passion ever since.

It's likely that you haven't heard about Breathing Pattern Dysfunction or Hyperventilation Syndrome before. It's a chronic problem of epidemic proportions that effects people with chronic pain, stress induced disorders, asthma and other chronic lifestyle issues. It is important, under diagnosed and could be the missing link to getting you to where you want to be.

BPD/HVS is an important consideration for you if you suffer from:
