Meet
Dr. Erienne Blanchard, Your Compassionate Physical Therapist in Gainesville

At Integrative Head & Neck Specialists (IHNSS), my passion is helping people return to what they love. 

As a trauma-informed physical therapist specializing in craniofacial physical therapy, TMJ treatment, and cervical care for chronic neck pain, I blend evidence-based treatment with deep compassion. Every patient matters. Every ripple of healing matters; whether that’s a nurse back at the bedside, a teacher confidently back in the classroom, or a mom able to laugh without wincing.

 

I meet you as a whole human. 

 

With advanced clinical expertise in complex head and neck dysfunction, and a heart grounded in empathy, I’m here to offer the kind of care I believe everyone deserves.


That’s why I built this practice around trust, safety, and individualized care. Because healing doesn’t begin with a diagnosis; it begins with being seen.

Taking her time to be efficient, and provide care that is exceptional, Dr. Blanchard really sets herself apart. If you need a consistent , reliable , PT , look no further." Luis Hernandez

Why IHNSS? It's Physical Therapy Like You've Never Experienced Before

A Quiet, Private Room for Nervous Systems on Edge

At IHNSS, every session takes place in a calm, private room with no audience, no distractions, and no judgment.

 

  • Reduces sensory overload → helps prevent pain amplification

  • No fear of judgment → you're safe to groan, cry, shift awkwardly and be fully yourself

  • Undivided attention → you’re not just another appointment

  • A space to be seen and believed → heal the trauma of being dismissed

60–90-Minute Sessions with a Doctor Who Listens

Chronic pain is complex. You deserve more than 10 rushed minutes.

 

  • We go deeper → plenty of time to explore symptoms, even the ones you thought were unrelated

  • Whole-body approach → understand your body as a connected system, not isolated parts

  • No need to repeat your story across appointments → get thorough care from the start

  • Personalized support → time to explain complex concepts in plain language, so you feel empowered

You See Me, Dr. Erienne Blanchard. Every. Single. Time.

No rotating providers. No need to start over. Just one doctor who truly knows your body.

 

  • Builds trust and therapeutic momentum

  • A doctor who notices subtle shifts → even ones you miss

  • Intuitive understanding → of your pain expressions and cues

  • Psychological safety → you’re never “too complicated” here

  • You become a person — not a case number

Cash-Based, Integrated Care - That Works For You

Because insurance shouldn’t dictate your healing.

 

  • No “one body part per visit” rules →  Treat multiple areas in one session (jaw, neck pain, gut, hormones, etc).

  • Adaptive treatments based on your unique needs

  • No surprise costs → dry needling and speciality work included

  • You can still submit for out-of-network reimbursement

Whole-Person Care - Not Just An Isolated Symptom

You’re not a collection of disconnected issues. You’re a system, and I see that.

 

  • Treats the root cause, not just surface symptoms

  • Connects the dots across your whole body

  • Breaks the medical ping-pong cycle → no more being dismissed

  • Validates your experience → you're not imagining the connections
