Proven Practice Doctor of Chiropractic Michael Kleker, of Aspen Wellness Center, in Fort Collins, Colorado, is also a state-licensed acupuncturist. “I can tailor treatments to whatever the individual needs,” he says. For patients experiencing pain after spinal fusion surgery, with no possibility of any movement in their spine, Kleker fi nds that acupuncture helps manage the pain. “We can commonly get the person out of the chronic pain loop,” he says. He also fi nds the combination helpful in treating chronic migraines, tennis elbow and other chronic pain conditions. “When I started my practice in 1981, few chiropractors knew anything about acupuncture, let alone used it.

Notebook computers and iPads have

their own credentials, an increasing number of chiropractors have added acupuncturists to their practices. Therapy combining chiropractic and acupuncture has yet to be widely researched, but one study published in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine in 2012 reports the results of two acupuncture treatments followed by three chiropractic/acupuncture treatments for a women suffering from long-term migraine headaches. The migraines disappeared and had not returned a year later. Other studies show the combination therapy offers signifi cant improvements in neck pain and tennis elbow.
Campbell relates a story of the
power of chiropractic combined with acupuncture, when his young son that was able to walk only with great diffi culty received a two-minute treatment from Dr. Yennie. Afterward, “My son got up and ran down the hall,” he recalls.
