New medical clinic in Blackfoot wants to help you find pain relief

BLACKFOOT – After a serious injury years ago, Steven Hulse was concerned about his performance as an athlete. That led him to pursue a career as a chiropractor.

Today, the 34-year-old Mud Lake native owns Restoration Chiropractic and Massage Therapy at 1395 Northwest Main Street in Blackfoot. Since opening about 18 months ago, he’s added several new services.

One of them is red light therapy, an alternative treatment to chiropractic care that he says provides pain relief. He also has a foot scanner that tells patients if their feet are misaligned so they can improve posture. See how it works in the video above.

Since the clinic opened, the most frequently asked question from patients is if he provides the Y Strap treatment, a decompression tool that involves manual manipulation of the spine, and sometimes other areas of the body, to relieve a variety of symptoms. The treatment method has been the focus of many TikTok and Youtube videos as of late, which is why it’s so well known.

Hulse has an answer for those seeking this kind of treatment.

“We do that service. It just takes a little bit of time because we have to (provide) a thorough exam with X-rays to make sure the person is a candidate for it. We don’t want to start yanking on people’s heads and cause serious problems,” Hulse says.

Dee Stevens opened Advanced Integrated Medical Center at this location in 2017. Hulse bought the practice from Stevens several months after becoming a chiropractic doctor in 2021.

Hulse’s initial interest in helping people recover from sports injuries inspired him to focus on anyone with aches and pains to get back to doing what they love.

“When I was going to chiropractic school, I had my (now) 3-year-old during that time. I was really interested in chiropractic (care) for little children. That’s when I got involved with the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association,” says Hulse. “I’ve treated kids from 2 days old all the way up to people who are 98.”

And in a world where most people sit for long periods, lower back and neck issues are a common problem as well.

Although he’s happy to help anyone who’s in pain, he’s also an advocate for preventative care. He says our bodies are meant to move, and he encourages those with a desk job to incorporate regular movement into their daily routine.

“Instead of just being a sick day here and there, low back pain is now costing people (billions of dollars) every year,” says Hulse. “It would really help the economy boost back up if people were more mobile.”

Hulse loves being in Blackfoot, where he says there’s such a need for services like this. Hulse hopes to one day open a second location in Idaho Falls to improve quality of life for patients and get them back to doing what they want.

Restoration Chiropractic and Massage is open Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. It’s also open the same hours on the second and fourth Friday of every month.
