Dr Mitchell Bloom

Dr. Mitchell J. Bloom is passionate about helping people with pain.  His focus is to use state of the art innovative treatments to alleviate these conditions.  He has success where others, including some of the top Universities, have failed.  He treats a wide range of professional and amateur athletes as well as people suffering from a wide range of work or accident related injuries, age related conditions and arthritis.

After completing his medical school training in New York, he finished his four year residency specialty training at The University of Rochester in 1989 in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.

He began his medical career working as the Associate Medical Director of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at two hospitals in the U.S. and in 1989 he became the founder and Medical Director of The Centre for Mind - Body Medicine.

Dr Bloom is Board Certified in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, a Diplomat of The American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and a registered specialist medical doctor with The Medical Council of New Zealand.  He is a member of the Australasian Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine, New Zealand Association of Musculoskeletal Medicine, Australasian Integrative Medical Association and the American Academy of Pain Medicine.

His goal of treatment is to repair, regenerate, and eliminate injury or pain, and its causes.  He believes his best diagnostic tool is his ability to listen to the patient's complaints and ‘feel’ where the pain is coming from.  He also uses the latest diagnostic testing where necessary to make a pin-point diagnosis of the problem.  He calls this the ‘Sherlock Holmes’ approach.

Dr Bloom’s treatment uses growth factor technology to heal injuries, chronic pain and arthritis.  This treatment has an 80-90% success rate as shown in double blind placebo controlled studies.  To view these studies or for more information about Prolotherapy treatment, please visit www.ChronicPainRelief.co.nz or emai:  mindbodymedicine@xtra.co.nz
