Hal Blatman MD

President, American Holistic Medical Association
Founder, Blatman Pain Clinic

Hal Blatman is the founder and medical director of the Blatman Pain Clinic, and a globally recognized specialist in myofascial pain. He is board certified in 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, M.D., 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 treatment solutions.

He currently serves as the President of the American Holistic Medical Association, is on the Board of Advisors of the American Academy of Pain Management, and is also Chairman of the Committee on Technology and Integrative Medicine.
