What Is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a natural form of healing and pain relief that uses no drugs or surgery. As a science, it is based on the idea that good health depends, in part, on a normally-functioning nervous system.
Doctors of Chiropractic use their extensive training and knowledge of anatomy and bio mechanics (how the body moves) to treat their patients. Usually, this involves the manipulation (the doctor's hands-on adjustment) of the spine or joints. Problems of the spine and joints can be caused by injury, muscle tension, bad posture or disease.
What Is A Chiropractic Neurologist?
A chiropractic neurologist is a chiropractor who has completed two years of additional training and study. The chiropractic neurologist must then complete testing by the board of chiropractic neurologist. Upon satisfactory completion of this testing the chiropractor becomes a board certified chiropractic neurologist. Dr. Blomerth has been a board certified chiropractic neurologist since 1991 and was recently granted a fellowship by the International Academy of Chiropractic Neurology.

"My mother-in-law had a chronic pain in the back and none of the medical specialists she saw could help her. She mentioned it to me one day, and I suggested she make an appointment with Dr. Paul. He was able to diagnose the problem in a matter of minutes, and was able to implement a course of treatment that led to complete control of the problem. Thanks to Dr. Paul, my mother-in-law is able to enjoy her great grandchildren." - J. S., Chicopee MA
"I am impressed by Dr. Paul's knowledge, willingness to try new modalities and his connections to the general medical community. Just the fact that he has hospital privileges says much about his approach to using his specialty to deliver pain relief to his patients and when chiropractic isn't the answer to refer his patients to someone who can help them. Both my daughter and I have seen Dr. Paul as needed and are extremely pleased with his professionalism and wonderful manner." - L.F., Enfield CT
"I want to thank you for curing my lower back pain. I came to you 2 years ago with a very sharp pain in my lower left back. The pain would come and go but lingering there waiting for me to make the wrong move. In my spare time I like to race motocross and after a day of landing those 60 foot jumps I would be guaranteed to be in pain for 3 weeks. I have been pain free for 2 years now even after a long day of riding the pain will not return." - D.M., Wilbraham MA
"I haven't been to any chiropractors before, but I'm convinced from Dr. Paul its a beautiful thing (because at first I was a little nervous)." - Teenager male/back & shoulder pain from car accident
"I've had asthma since I was 6 years old - I've been to other doctors and had allergy shots. (With Dr. Paul's treatment) I am now off allergy shots and I feel great. Dr. Paul is great - funny too." - Young adult/Asthma
