Kevin McNamee, DC, LAc

Dr. McNamee was among other recommendations to me in a neighborhood post when I asked for a referral to a chiropractor or acupuncturist for a sciatic nerve injury. I decided to try Dr. McNamee because he was the only one recommended who practices both himself. It turned out to be the best decision I could have made.
Dr. McNamee is the most knowledgeable, well-​experienced, caring professional I have ever been to in the line of chiropractic medicine or accupuncture. I could hardly move without extreme pain when I started treatment, and in just a few visits I am good as new! I highly recommend him to anyone in need of his services. You will not be disappointed.

Dr. McNamee was a big disappointment. He is talented in many ways and actually helped me, it’s the way he runs his practice that’s the problem. Rather than having individual exam rooms you are put in a room with 2 other treatment tables. There you are half naked with people coming in and out. Not for me.
He also after just a few visits suggested that I need surgery. I’m currently in treatment elsewhere and I’m coming along just fine. Who tells a patient that doesn’t respond quickly to your treatment that you need surgery? If I was not confident in my own health treatment something like that would be very harmful.

My husband and I have been to Kevin off and on for over 20 years (yes we are the aging population) and he has been a true healer! We have sent many patients his way and they continue to see him. He is a generous, kind, knowledgable Doctor should never disappoints.

I have suffered from back pain due to herniated and degenerative disc disease for many years, and conventional medical treatment, including multiple epidural injections, have afforded me little other than very temporary relief. I have also tried other chiropractors and acupuncturists with what I can only describe as «underwhelming» results.
A few years ago I met Dr. McNamee and discussed my problems with him and then decided to give him a try – clearly one of the best choices I have ever made. From my first visit, I realized that Dr. McNamee’s approach was unique, blending both acupuncture and chiropractic to use the best of both modalities in a highly effective way. After only three sessions, the pain and stiffness largely vanished and stayed that way for several years. I would have been glad to continue on, but Dr. McNamee advised me to hold off and let my body heal itself with the start his treatment had given me.
About a month ago, I developed debilitating pain in my shoulder and despite two visits to the orthopedic surgeon got no relief other than a prescription for pain medication which I do not tolerate well and try to avoid taking. In desperation from the unrelenting pain and aching, which persisted even when I tried to go to sleep, I suddenly remembered Dr. McNamee and when I saw him for evaluation he concluded that the problem was muscular and not spinal, and again with a high degree of confidence suggested that he could clear it up in three sessions. True to his word, each session, using the combination of acupuncture and chiropractic, gave me significant relief, and true to his word, after the third session the pain was 90% gone, and over the next week the other 10% also resolved itself as he had predicted it would.
I can only say from my experiences that Dr. McNamee is truly blessed with «golden hands», and even though I am generally skeptical of most aspects of «alternative medicine», I would not hesitate to wholeheartedly and sincerely recommend him to members of my own family and to good friends seeking relief from pain and other orthopedic problems.

As good as it gets! I’m a ‘Western” medicine physician that decades ago was skeptical of chiropractic. I learned it was because of some of the bad apples and then started hearing great things about Dr. Kevin McNamee. Started referring patients to him. Patients returned cured AND happy! Then I had back problems. What? Acupuncture? What? Back manipulation? Um, okay! FIXED! «When do I come back» I asked? «When you need me again» he said! Novel idea, LOL!
Wish Kevin’s name was «Abe» so I could call him «Honest Abe» so instead we’ll call him «Honest Kevin!»

I had acute headache, ear, neck and shoulder pain 2 days ago. went to dr. McNamee (recommended by my friend). he did a thorough exam and quickly found out the root of my problem. after the acupuncture, icing, cracking of my neck and an incredible massage, I walked out the clinic very happy. highly recommended to anyone with pain.

Dr. Kevin McNamee is an amazingly gifted Chiropractor as well as Acupuncturist. His ability to mesh the two disciplines together to get the strongest and most accurate results is simply short of incredible.
I have been using him for over 10years and as a runner, cyclist, climber, athletically inclined he has helped me more then words can say.
Even after a major hernia surgery with complications that the surgeon couldn’t figure out. Had numbness, chronic throbbing pain and chronic itching under the skin that wouldn’t go away. It was so bad I would cry myself to sleep. When Dr. McNamee treated me after only 3appointments it was and still permanently GONE.
So, with all of that said he is certainly the best choice when looking for a doctor that can actually get results for your healing.

After a severe car accident I suffered from whiplash, back, neck and shoulder pain to the degree I could not raise my arms up to brush my hair. Many months of therapy and still no progress to my recovery or pain reduction. My MD finally referred me to California Heath Institute for chiro and acupuncture. I saw Kevin McNamee and he fully assessed my problems, suggested treatment plan and said that after the first treatment I would be able to raise my arms and touch the top of my head. I was completely skeptical. I was overwhelmed after I got up from the cracking and needles… I could raise my arms all the way up, just like he said. I even remember crying in relief. Three weeks later and I was fully on the road to recovery.
If I was skeptical before about chiropractors, I am a believer now, so much that I have over the past few years referred many family and friends. They also have had similar experiences.
