About Me
Dr. Kit Langstroth, D.C. received his undergraduate degree (Associate of Science) from Modesto College and in 1986 attained his doctorate at Palmer College of Chiropractic in the San Jose, California area. He worked as an associate doctor for 2 years in Sacramento and has been in private practice since 1988.
“Dr. Kit” became a Chiropractor because of some very serious neck injuries he sustained that nearly left him paralyzed. By the age of 16, he went to a Chiropractor who helped him so much, he decided to become a Chiropractor himself. “Chiropractic has saved my life. I am a patient as well as a doctor. Chiropractic has allowed me to do what I love, which is to help people in a life changing way in the same way I was helped. A distinct advantage that I have is knowing what it is like to receive care from over 50 different Chiropractors and what works.”
Dr. Kit has extensive training in injury and rehabilitation because of his own injuries. He has trained and is certified in “Whiplash” under internationally recognized lecturer, doctor and author, Arthur Croft who has written the book, Whiplash Injuries: The Cervical Acceleration/Deceleration Syndrome. He has also received post-graduate training with the Texas A&M extension program on accident reconstruction for the medical practitioner. This has given him special training on injuries sustained during a whiplash. He believes that rehabilitation should be a part of the injury healing process to reach maximum benefit and utilizes the Pilates method of Physical Therapy rehabilitation. Dr. Langstroth has treated close to 5,000 patients and has delivered close to 1,000,000 spinal manipulative procedures to date.
Through the many years of practice, Dr. Langstroth has several Chiropractic techniques. He is certified through the International Conference on Carpal Tunnel Syndrome for the non-surgical treatment and management of CTS. This technique (called the “Mally” technique), also used for all extremity conditions, has been used by other D.C.’s on professional sports teams such as the San Francisco 49ers and Giants, Miami Dolphins, Cincinnati Bengals and Reds to name a few. He also has training in Applied Kinesiology, which is very popular and widely used on professional sports and Olympic athletes. Dr. Langstroth has also developed his own system of determining nerve compressions by testing muscle strength while putting the body and joints in different positions. This allows him to utilize Specific Manipulation Procedures which achieves a more accurate adjustment/manipulation and an over-all better result.
More recently, and with great excitement, Dr. Kit has studied under two of the top U.S. Chiropractic Neurologists. Thousands of research papers on the brain and Chiropractic, have allowed breakthrough techniques to develop. The Carrick Institute headed by Dr. Frederick Carrick Ph.D., D.C. has developed cutting edge technologies to treat and stimulate malfunctioning areas of the brain responsible for many conditions untreatable by modern medicine. Brain Based Therapy is getting amazing results, yet it is so new that it isn’t in the medical research.
In 2004, Dr. Kit was part of a wellness team working with an anti-aging M.D., esthetician, massage therapists and others. “This was a great experience and I will continue in that direction.” Currently, Dr. Kit believes in treating the whole person. “I love Chiropractic and how it continues to amaze me with its results. I utilize clinical nutrition, detoxification, exercise programs, massage, wellness and the anti-aging movement to help everyone feel younger, healthier and full of energy. I desire everyone to find happier and more fulfilled lives”. Prevention and being proactive can solve many future problems.
Dr. Kit believes that clinical nutrition is a vital process that promotes healing from within. It is founded on the basic principle that precise, personalized nutritional therapy is not being accomplished in the United States. Therefore, it is our mission to provide a method for people to find out what nutritional supplement products are best for their particular purpose or for a certain condition/disease that they may suffer from.
We explore nutritional deficiencies based upon laboratory testing (blood, urine, saliva) to help people regain their health or to aid in the treatment of many conditions. We can also offer cash discounts at our laboratory facilities if there is no insurance. We use only the best clinical laboratories in the country for our testing procedures and protocols.
Based upon data obtained from the confidential history form and your laboratory testing results, Dr. Kit Langstroth can customize and personalize a nutritional supplementation program suited to your specific needs.
Dr. Kit has also been a public speaker for the past 16 years. He was one of the local “United Way” speakers for local businesses speaking on stress reduction and Chiropractic. He has developed his own seminars for the public, small and large businesses and State Agencies. He has lectured on topics such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Headaches, Neck Injuries, Posture Correction, and Whiplash Injuries. He has given lectures and seminars to the United States Post Office, Hewlett-Packard, UPS, Blue Diamond Growers, State Compensation Insurance Fund, Pacific Bell, Health and Human Services Data Center-State of California, California Dept. of Health Services, California Dept. of Conservation, California Dept. of Transportation and the Commission on Teaching Credentialing.
