WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

  • "There are 3 professions in this world that require the highest degree of decency: teacher, doctor, politician. I probably should have left out the third one, but that's a discussion for another day. Simply put, Dr. Blenio is the best sports injury doctor I have ever known. As an avid runner, I used to think that nothing would slow me down or stop me from running. Well, the injuries did. I first saw Dr. Blenio 6 years ago due to nagging PF pain. Dr. Blenio really took the time to listen to me and evaluate my situation. He was always patient and dedicated to the treatment, never rushing through the procedure. During every session, Dr. Blenio also spent time educating me on recovery exercise and injury prevention. I remember on more than one occasion, a light bulb went on in my head, either because Dr. Blenio suggested something that I would have never thought of, or would have brushed off when I was able to run pain-free. It was from Dr. Blenio that I learned to take time off from running and exploring other forms of activities, including resting! I was able to run better and faster thanks to Dr. Blenio's help. Fast forward to 2019, 15 months after starting a new job, I started to experience severe lower back pain, as a result of long working hours and lack of regular exercise. I went to see the chiropractor in the wellness center at work. There was little improvement after 3 weeks and the pain only aggravated. Out of frustration, I walked into Dr. Blenio's clinic again. Alas, if only I had gone to Dr. Blenio when the back pain flared up the first time! Dr. Blenio is just as attentive and dedicated as when I first saw him 6 years ago. Every time after his treatment, I was able to sleep pain-free throughout the night. With the evolution of technology, the internet is never lack of information we are searching for. But sometimes, we just need to hear it, learn it from a real, good human being face to face to be convinced. Dr. Blenio is a good doctor and enabler. He treats not only the physical pain but also shares his knowledge of pain management. Being athletic himself, Dr. Blenio practices what he preaches and always encourages his patients to take charge of their own well being, instead of relying solely on health practitioners. I'm truly grateful to Dr. Blenio and would highly recommend him to all my friends."

  • "I have been to many Chiropractors over the years and John is definitely the best I've seen. I have been to John several times over the years and he usually fixes what is ailing me in 1 or 2 treatments. Because of his background in athletics and fitness he has a better understanding of how to solve pain than other chiros. Often at first he will do some soft tissue work to prepare the spine and other joints to be adjusted. John is very professional and never gives you the vibe that he just wants you to keep coming in all the time (that's a bad rap a lot of chiros get). I am a personal trainer and I often send my clients his way when they are experiencing pain. And he fixes them. There is no one in the Bay Area that I would give a stronger recommendation too."

  • "I went to Dr. Blenio after living with rotator cuff pain for several years. I previously saw two orthopedic surgeons who were "shoulder specialists" but couldn't cure my condition. One even offered to do surgery if the pain persisted. During my first visit, Dr. Blenio diagnosed my pain as a muscle condition and began treating my shoulder with his proprietary treatment protocol. When he said my pain would be gone in about five treatments, I couldn't believe it. Five treatments later, it was gone. Dr. Blenio also taught me a self treatment regimen to prevent my shoulder pain from redeveloping, thereby lowering the overall cost of curing my condition. I would give Dr. Blenio 100 Stars if Yelp allowed. He is a highly competent and caring healer."

  • "A review for everyone but especially for those who are very physically active: Surfing, Muay Thai, Yoga, Dance John saved me! Mentally and physically. I am a very active person. I travel the world surfing, train in Muay Thai, teach Yoga and am a performing artist. So when my doctor told me my MRI showed that I had deterioration of my cervical spine, a herniated disc and that my pain would be chronic I admit... I freaked out. After 3 months of complete mental and physical agony, I contacted John. I am SO GRATEFUL I did. I had never been to a Chiropractor and to be honest I was terrified of adjustments. But John is so professional, friendly, knowledgeable and understanding that I was looking forward to every session... even the neck adjustment which at first I was terrified of and now is quickly becoming my favorite. After just the first 2 sessions my pain diminished by 60%. Im now at 4 sessions and I do not feel pain at all. I am all done with my treatment and I can go back to my life! ps - surfers you need to see John. I regret not seeing him sooner. My surfing would have been so much stronger with less post-surf neck and shoulder pain!"

  • "I became Dr. John's patient because of an accident. He was great in treating my back pain. Along with my back, I also started getting headaches. And apparently, Dr. John has his own methods of treating headache. One of the visits, I had a horrible pain in the back of my head and after the treatment, I walked out completely headache free. That was amazing!"

  • "I highly recommend Dr. Blenio - not only will he treat your pain, he'll educate you along the way. I visited his office for tightness/soreness in my neck, shoulder, and lower back. He predicted that it would take 5 - 10 sessions to loosen up those areas, and he was right on: we did 7 sessions over the course of five weeks. I noticed improvement right away, though, and things got progressively better with each session. One thing I really liked was that Dr. Blenio taught me exercises that I can do at home to help release tight/sore areas. It's great to have things I can do proactively to help prevent future problems. And, if things get really sore again, I know who to call."
