Services

S.O.T./Craniopathy

Sacro-Occipital Technique (S.O.T.) addresses spinal, pelvic, and cranial imbalances through precise adjustments. This method improves cerebrospinal fluid flow, alleviating migraines, TMJ dysfunction, and neurological issues. Patients benefit from restored structural alignment and nervous system function.

Neuro Emotional Technique

NET resolves emotional blocks stored in the body through muscle response testing and meridian therapy. This approach addresses stress-related conditions by releasing trapped emotional patterns, improving physical and mental well-being through mind-body integration.

Cranial Dental Integration

Specialized treatment combines cranial adjustments with dental occlusion correction. Effective for temporomandibular joint disorders, headaches, and vision issues, this technique restores proper cranial mechanics and reduces nerve-related pain through coordinated dental-chiropractic care.

Clinical Nutrition

Personalized nutritional programs counteract environmental toxins and dietary deficiencies. Using high-quality supplements and homeopathic remedies, we address systemic inflammation, digestive disorders, and metabolic imbalances to support overall healing and wellness.

Functional Neurology

Targeted neurological rehabilitation improves brain function through sensory-motor integration. This approach benefits patients with balance disorders, post-concussion syndrome, and chronic neurological conditions by enhancing neural plasticity and cognitive performance.

As a patient of over 20 years, Dr. Tomas E Bloink, I speak from years of experience. He is a truly gifted healer, kind and spiritual. Again, I had an amazing healing session, INSTANT relief I still find hard to believe, but certainly true. I highly recommend him, not for just trauma, but to keep well as we navigate through a sometimes stressful life. P.S.- he's helped my children and friends as well.all amazing results.

I can't even put into words how much Dr. Bloink has changed my life. I first saw him in 2016 for lower back pain and TMJ and my lower back pain has gone away and not returned since and my TMJ pain (headaches, neck pain, shoulder pain and teeth grinding) were all alleviated. His passion for what he does and genuine care for his patients is priceless. I returned again in 2021 to help with immense TMJ pain and I went from having tension headaches and neck pain everyday to none at all after a few months.

My dad and mom also have seen him to help with pain and injuries. We all love him! I always feel seen and heard and validated after every visit. The amount of care, passion and energy he puts into his work is phenomenal. The best professional I've ever seen and worked with. If I could put 10 stars I would! Living pain free is priceless and Dr. Bloink is the absolute best in his field.

I went through a year of doctors until someone referred me to Dr Bloink. He is the best when it comes to structural issues. Not only that, he genuinely cares and has broad knowledge of what can help. Not only has my TMJ been so much better, but he also put me on supplements, had me do some home exercises and laser treatments that actually helped with my brain inflammation (from a TBI). He also referred me to excellent doctors where needed. If you have a chance, I'd definitely recommend working with him, you won't regret it

Best person in the world! This man is restoring my health inside and out. He sees and feels what the issues are and can offer real time solutions, not just promises. His hands are therapeutic. He explained what was wrong thoroughly, showed me books, referenced diagrams and simply listened to my concerns where others would not. I am very thankful to have found Dr. Bloink! Trust the process, trust Dr Bloink. Had severe pressure at the back of my head, and severe tension at the neck. All this causing a cascading effect from the jaw to the skull to the neck and all the way down. Felt relief first day. I improve with every visit. Very grateful.
