High Amplitude Health San Mateo Chiropractor

DR. JOHN BLENIO with his experience and expertise helped me recover from two different injuries I had.one was a lower back injury which he explain it was a torn muscle, The second time he helped me recover was from numbness in both my arms which he identified as a pinch nerve that tense muscles were causing.

I was treated by Dr. Blenio last year for shoulder pain and arm weakness. It was my first time ever seeing a chiropractor and I was quite nervous about the adjustments. He explained to me what he was doing throughout the whole process and was able to resolve my issues in 5 visits with adjustments and soft tissue manual therapy. Dr. Blenio showed me how to foam roll and taught me exercises that I can do at home to strengthen my shoulder and arm muscles.

Recently, I decided to go back to see Dr. Blenio to see if he can help with my chronic hip flexor tightness/pain and glute pain. On my third visit, seeing that I haven’t made much progress, he asked more questions, performed some assessments and suggested that I go find a physical therapist or personal trainer for functional movement screening (FNS). Basically, my muscles are too weak because I’ve never worked out! He’d rather have me spend my money on something that would help me get better instead of him if he cannot help. He didn’t even charge me for the time he spent with me on that visit!

Dr. Blenio truly cares about his patients and has their best interests at heart. I appreciate his expertise, generosity with his time, and integrity as a healthcare provider.

I suddenly experienced a backache from last week and the symptom got worse. I could not bend forward and felt a serious pain on my low back.
I fortunately found High Amplitude Health San Mateo and met Dr. John Blenio. He is so amazing! He examined carefully and found what's causing the pain.
I received 2 times of treatments and I am so satisfied. I feel so light and my body (back) is back almost 100% to normal.
If you live near San Mateo and look for a right chiropractor, I strongly recommend Dr. John Blenio at High Amplitude Health San Mateo.

First visit and am so happy. After my car accident I've been tense and lower back pain and after this visit i have so much relief having all of my questions and worries answered and taken care of as well as so much of the stiffness subsided already. I've booked my next adjustment and even made an appointment to see their massage therapist here as well. Highly recommended.

Great professionals work at this practice. Their service could be a lot more expensive. Don't miss out.

Dr. Blenio is very friendly and knowledgeable.
I'd had on and off lower back pain for years. He was very quick to identify the cause, and use a combination of massages and corrections to help me feel better. He also gave me lifestyle advice and taught me some simple exercises so that I can keep myself healthy and pain-free.
After a few sessions in less than 3 weeks, not only the pain is gone, but also I feel confident to keep myself healthy in the future.

I woke up a couple weeks ago with my back bent like an old man. I was having problems straightening up my back and standing up straight. I over-exercised the last few weeks from running, swimming, fencing and kayaking with no warm-up, stretching before sports nor after. I scheduled to see Chiropractor Dr. John Blenio. This was my first time ever to use a chiropractor. Well, amazing! Dr. Blenio was like a magician! He fixed my back after the first visit. After one returning visit within one week, I could stand up tall and feel lighter again. Fighting like a champ in fencing and back to all my sport activities! Yippee! Dr. Blenio also showed me exercises to release muscle tigthtness. Thank you Doc! 5 STARS!

Great experience with my injury treatment by Dr. John. Scheduling, the facilities and Dr. John were great!

I have been running for close to 20 years and unfortunately injuries are inevitable, lucky for me, Dr. John Blenio is in the peninsula and I get the relief I need in order to keep running healthy. I have seen Dr. John Blenio off and on for various running injuries since 2017. Every single time I walk into his office, I walk out feeling better - his experience in ART (active release therapy) is above and beyond. I felt immediate relief from a hamstring injury right after my first session and by the second session I was back in action. Dr. Blenio is definitely my go to person when it comes to any injuries.

Highly recommended! Due to multiple back injuries I have spent quite a bit of time in various chiropractor offices over the past few years. This practice and its doctors are unlike any other chiropractors I've ever visited. The doctor took an incredible amount of time to listen, explain, and demonstrate.
What Dr Blenio, taught me might very well eliminate the need for repeated visits to a chiropractor in the future.
Since my visit with Dr Blenio, and by practicing the techniques he showed me, my overall spine and body health has improved immensely.
I did not understand the importance of foam rolling and its potential as well as the connection between our muscles and our body structure. Dr Blenio treated my entire body and not just the initial complaint that I presented with.
My chiropractor at home seems to have the goal of always bringing me back for the next visit. That was not the case at high amplitude.
The goal was clearly to help me heal and learn how to heal myself so that future treatments may not be necessary.
I highly recommend this office and it's doctors.

I've been seeing John as my chiropractor for 5+ years. He solved a major lower back issue I'd had for a long time (turns out it was caused by tight hamstrings and a weak core). I've gone to him a few times a year since then for acute issues (shoulder/neck tightness, lower back adjustments, etc) - he's always able to solve them in 1 or 2 sessions. He also taught me how to role out my muscles more effectively which has headed off many issues before they need treatment

My husband has been going to Dr. Blenio for sometime for a shoulder injury and he has helped him tremendously. So it was obvious when I injured my knee, Dr. Blenio was the person to see.
I wasn't sure how I injured my right knee, but the pain was intense enough to limite my mobility. During my first appointment, Dr. Belnio was very thorough in trying to understand my injury, he was very transparent in the type of treatment and what to expect after each session. I went in for 4 sessions in total and by the fourth session, I was 90% recovered with no pain and I am now able to move around and exercise normally. I highly recommend Dr. Belnio.

I highly recommend Dr. Hohn Blenio for treatment on any sports related injury! After attending just a few appointments at High Amplitude for Achilles rehab on my left leg I have seen more improvement in may ability to run than I have seen in the last 5 years. Backstory: I have been suffering with achilles problems for the last 5 years that has kept me from running and doing any high intensity sport related activity (playing soccer, basketball, going on long hikes, free diving, biking at more than a moderate pace, etc.). I tried several different methods for treatment over the course of being injured five years which included seeing four different Podiatrists at Kaiser, seeing three other chiropractors, and completing at home physical therapy- none of these worked. Every time I tried to get back into running I would get tendonitis and severe pain in my achilles after just a few short runs. I was considering surgery at Kaiser as a last resort before I was referred to Dr. Blenio. Dr. Blenio was kind and honest from the get go, and let me know that within a few treatments we should be able to see some improvement from his work, if not then he would recommend other options. We were able to break up most, if not all, the scar tissue that built up in my leg and this has greatly increased the elasticity of my left achilles and calf. I am happy to say that I did see those improvements over just a few treatments, and am running pain free for the first time in year. Overall I have to say that I am increasingly satisfied with how my treatment has gone.

I received chiropractic care for the first time in my life after a car accident. I immediately felt better after the first session and would recommend this place to anyone who has back and neck pain like I did.

Dr. Blenio has done more for me than any other chiropractor in my past. At each visit he addresses any tension or pains thoroughly. He has taught me how to stretch and roll out my muscles at home, which I was skeptical about at first, but has proven highly beneficial! He runs a clean and punctual office, which is also important to me.
