A personal story about headaches from Dr Kestner:
"As
a teen, I had frequent severe headaches. My parents took me to multiple medical doctors, ran tests, and tried several
medications. Nothing worked. The headaches were so severe that I would miss sports, school and work.
Eventually
I went to see a chiropractor for a back injury. To my amazement, the chiropractic treatment eliminated the headaches!
I was overjoyed.
It was primarily due to this experience that I decided to become a chiropractor.
To this day, I love helping patients with
frequent or severe headaches.
This is also one of the primary reasons I began to study acupuncture more
than two decades ago. I realized that acupuncture could be such a tremendous benefit for so many patients that were
not being helped by traditional medical treatment.
I sought out the best acupuncture teachers I could find. I have since
continued my study of the scientific aspects of acupuncture.
Chiropractic and acupuncture are highly
complementary treatments. I have better results as a chiropractor due to my understanding of acupuncture.
Likewise, I see better results from acupuncture as a result of being trained as a chiropractic physician.
With the
wide array of treatment options that are available at our clinic, it is unusual for a patient with headaches not to respond
beautifully to the treatments.
I continue to enjoy working with patients with headaches to find the best treatment options."
