Hal S. Blatman, MD is the founder and medical director of the Blatman Pain Clinic, and a nationally
recognized specialist in treating myofascial (muscle) pain. He is board certified in both Pain Management
and Occupational and Environmental Medicine. After receiving his medical degree from the Medical College
of Pennsylvania in 1980, Dr. Blatman completed two years of training in orthopedic surgery. He later
studied ergonomics during his residency in Occupational and Environmental Medicine at the University of
Cincinnati Hospital. For several years, Dr. Blatman practiced family medicine while managing a chain of
urgent care facilities. During Dr. Blatman’s tenure in general medicine, he recognized western medicine’s
difficulty treating and managing chronic and myofascial pain. Consequently, he studied with the late
Janet Travell, MD, then recognized as the world’s leading expert in treating myofascial pain disorders.
In 1988, Dr. Blatman established Cincinnati’s first clinic specifically dedicated to providing traditional
and holistic pain and rehabilitation treatment solutions. |
