Transform Your Health with Expert Care

I came to see Dr. Giaquinto in June 2006. I was experiencing everything from minor discomfort to pretty extreme pain in my stomach area. I suffered with these symptoms for 8 weeks before I went to my medical doctor, who sent me for a CT scan, diagnosed me with diverticulitis and prescribed antibiotics, which didn’t work. My quality of life took a serious downturn. I had constant stomach pain to some degree every day. Some days it got so bad that I had to lie down due to the pain. I was referred to Dr. Giaquinto by a co-worker who was a patient of his. Dr. Giaquinto prescribed enzymes, a better diet, and simple exercise for me to do at home. I had a 50% improvement in my digestion and stomach pain after the first month. After the second month all the discomfort is gone and I feel great.

I came to see Dr. Giaquinto on March 17, 2008. I am not sure of the cause, but my health had been deteriorating for about two years. I had been dealing with acid reflux for about eight months. I was also experiencing constant sinus infections, taking tons of antibiotics, gaining weight and losing my energy and zest for life. I felt like I was growing old before my time. The condition I was in affected every aspect of my life. All I wanted to do was lay in bed and watch TV. I could not sleep at night and I was afraid to eat. I was depressed and lost my interest and joy for life. I had tried to address my issues with several different types of medical doctors. I was treated by a gastroenterologist who put me on two acid reflux medications. I was treated by my internist with antibiotics and I began to get allergy shots for my allergies. I also used two nasal sprays for my allergies. The only difference I experienced was that my acid reflux continued only slightly improving in the daytime. I continued to get sinus infections every other month and I still had no energy and felt bad all of the time. I explored the internet and found Dr. Howard Loomis. I did a search on his website for a chiropractor in my area who did digestive work and I decided to try that route because all the others had been so ineffective. Since being treated by Dr. Giaquinto with Enzyme Nutrition, I have had amazing results! In just four months, my life is completely different. I feel like I used to in my 20’s. I have tons of energy, sleep at night and feel refreshed in the morning. The best of all is that my reflux is GONE! I have my life back again. I have not been sick for two months now and I have no sinus infections and no illness of any kind. This is fantastic for me. As an added benefit, I have lost 15 pounds without even trying. The weight just melted away in three months. I have my life back and I feel so lucky. I am sending my friends and family who are not well to Dr. Giaquinto. He is amazing!!!!!!

I was a health conscious 39 year old, ate relatively healthy, exercised regularly and yet I was struggling with lower back pain, shin splints, aching knees and occasional wrist pain. Another huge struggle I was dealing with was pretty severe cystic acne. I had dealt with the acne and low back pain since my twenties. I had tried countless prescriptions for my acne and if I did see results, I found myself dealing with harsh side effects due to the medications.

I believe the acne is triggered by my hormones, and the back pain is mostly due to my scoliosis. I would have bouts of very sharp pain in my back, bad enough to cause me to not be able to complete a full work out (stop running etc). My acne affected my daily life, my skin was inflamed, painful and it affected my mood daily. I was extremely self-conscious and very frustrated that everything I had tried had ultimately failed to work.

I called Dr. Keith on my 39th Birthday after two different close friends referred him to me. I was in denial that I ate poorly because I was already avoiding fast food and I didn’t drink pop. I ate organic food and watched my calories. What I was surprised to find out after an exam from Dr. Keith was that my body struggles to digest carbohydrates. Once I started taking digestive enzymes with my meals, I noticed that I was a lot less bloated (I hadn’t even realized that I was bloated and constipated). The enzymes helped me feel so much better. It took time, but I also started to see a change in my complexion. I did start taking a prescription again from my dermatologist, but in the past I had to take such a high dose that I had terrible side effects (primarily dizziness, and foggy thinking) this time when coupled with the enzymes and diet plan suggested by Dr. Keith- I am able to take 1/3 of the dosage of my prescription. I have clear skin and none of the side effects.

The enzymes also combined with regular chiropractic adjustments have significantly reduced inflammation in my body. I have felt 90% better during my workouts and day to day life. I have not had any of the back pain that I was initially struggling with. Plus the achy knees and wrist pain greatly improved and the shin splints are gone.

If you are having any kind of physical ailment or digestive issues. I would absolutely recommend a consultation with Dr. Keith. He is extremely knowledgeable of our bodies complete working systems and how they affect us as a whole. I found it fascinating how much diet affects all other aspects of our well being- and the enzyme nutrition helps to heal our bodies from the years and years of damage we have done to it by not eating properly. It’s nearly impossible to avoid foods that may trigger inflammation or be a challenge to digest, but the enzymes help keep our gut in balance. I feel like I am more in control of how well I am going to feel now that I see Dr. Keith.

Thank you Dr. Keith.

I first came to see Dr. Giaquinto four months ago for numbness in both my arms and hands. I also have allergies and sinus problems intermittently my whole life. While getting treatment for the numbness in my arms, I spoke with Dr. Giaquinto about my allergies. I told him I had allergy shots when I was younger and my allergies subsided until about two years ago when they came back in full force. For the past two years, I would wake up sneezing and congested almost everyday. I would get allergy flare ups about twice a month that would leave me bedridden. Some days I even had to take allergy medicine which I didn’t like doing because I wasn’t able to function properly due to the side effect of being drowsy. Dr. Giaquinto suggested that he could help my allergy condition with Enzyme Nutrition. I decided to give it a try. Since being treated by Dr. Giaquinto with Enzyme Nutrition for my allergies, I have had excellent results!! The first few weeks I went through some cleansing and Dr. G. explained that my cells and tissue were being replaced with better quality nutrition. It has been about two months since I started the Enzyme Therapy and now I no longer have any congestion and haven’t had an allergy attack since!

I have had allergy induced asthma since the age of twelve years old. Even with being an athlete and a fitness professional today I still had recurrent bouts of asthma which not only made it hard to breathe but also took my energy level down quite a bit as well. I also could not be around dogs for very long because they would flare up my sinus congestion and asthma. I always have had an inhaler nearby just in case an attack would begin. I’ve had to keep my cardiovascular conditioning top notch at all times and have taken Claritin daily since it came out on the market. I was treated by a respiratory therapist when I was first diagnosed with allergy induced asthma as a kid but hadn’t been treated any differently by other doctors over the years. Basically, they would prescribe new inhalers for me and that’s about it. The inhalers have been consistently effective for attacks but were mainly an emergency cure more than one that could cure my condition. Colleagues of mine referred me to see Dr. Keith. As trainers, we often times overuse our bodies and Dr. Keith has “put us back together” again. Dr. Keith introduced me to Enzyme Nutrition to greatly lessen my asthma in addition to chiropractic adjustments. I could see results very quickly once I began using the enzymes in my daily dietary regimen and the chiropractic adjustments helped open a healthier flow throughout my body as well. My body has grown healthier and my lungs are better than they’ve been since I was first diagnosed so many years ago. I also can be around dogs now without any flare ups of my symptoms and no longer need the claritin.

I first came to Dr. Giaquinto on December 29, 2005. I felt out of sorts, but I didn’t know what was wrong. I was planning to run the LA Marathon on March 19, 2006, which was at that time less than three months away. I wanted to be in the best physical condition that I could possibly be. Mostly, I had neck pains that bothered me throughout the day. While training, I would also feel minor back pains while I ran. I had been treated by a chiropractor before and had good results, but never considered getting consistent treatment before. I first found out about Dr. Giaquinto when I was out for a walk. The office seemed very inviting and it felt like I was meant to be there. Since being treated by Dr. Giaquinto, I am in the best physical shape of my life. Besides getting adjusted on a regular basis, I also began taking Juice Plus and enzymes that Dr. Giaquinto prescribed to me to help with my muscle soreness from training. I not only ran the LA Marathon strong, but I beat my personal record thereby allowing me to qualify for next years’ Boston Marathon. I am writing this testimony on March 20, 2006, the day after the marathon. Today I feel the best I’ve ever felt! (Of course, minus a few sore muscles.) I owe it all to Dr. Giaquinto.

At about two weeks after birth my perfectly healthy, beautiful son developed cradle cap. Doctors told me this was normal and there was no need to be concerned, so they didn’t do much about it. It continued to grow (doctors said he would grow out of it) from his scalp, to his face down his neck to his shoulders onto his arms, body then his legs, covering 70% of his body. This condition continued to grow. We were visiting the ER regularly, at least once a month. Through several months of horrifying events our beautiful healthy child was now covered with a condition the doctors called chronic eczema, a respiratory and digestive condition that one doctor stated that, “we were just going to need to learn how to live with it because there is no cure.” Furious, I started on a quest to heal my son and nothing or no one would stop me. At about 2 ½ years, my son started regressing, stopped talking, running, stopped being able to swallow his food or eat normally, stopped interacting with us, catapulting him into fully regressed autism. Before the autism, my son was cuddly and sweet tempered, loved to laugh and be around people. I coined him my social butterfly. Even though the pain he was going through with chronic eczema, life threatening allergies, digestive and respiratory conditions, he had such a good disposition. By this time my son had an army of professional specialists for his various conditions and an array of therapists helping my son do what “NORMAL” kids do without thinking. These specialists consisted of a pediatrician, dermatologist, autism specialist, neurologist, allergist, nutritionist, audiologist, psychologist, speech therapist, occupational therapist, physical therapist and adaptive therapist. By the time I met Dr. Giaquinto, my son, who was 3 ½ years old, had been taking multiple prescribed medications for years. The so called “specialists” were telling me that my son was too young to know what would become of him. The eczema was under control due to constantly medicating him but he didn’t take any naps and never slept through the night. He had an extreme diaper rash that would not go away. Every night he would repeatedly bang his head against the wall. He also did not make eye contact with anyone. He did not engage or have interaction with anyone including me. He had a very poor appetite and was a very picky eater. Every morning he had a chronic productive cough. He was losing muscle mass due to his nutritional deficiencies. He didn’t have the ability to run and play like kids his own age. His weight was unstable and at one time he lost a total of 5 pounds going back down to 14 pounds at age 2. This was a very scary time my family and I. Simply stated, my son was a zombie by the time we got to Dr. Giaquinto. Under Dr. Giaquinto’s care, my son started coming back to us. Dr. Giaquinto taught me how to give my son enzymes, we started him on Juice Plus+, and some home exercises I could do for my son. I noticed quick results. After his first visit, my son had more energy, went home and took a nap! He started to become more engaging with me. That night he didn’t bang his head against the wall once and he slept completely through the night for the first time in a long time. After the second visit, he started sleeping well and still hasn’t banged his head against the wall once. His teacher at school says he is using more words and is more engaging. His appetite is coming back and is now starting to eat food that is healthier for him. After visits three through five, his interaction was continuing to improve, he is now using more words, and continuing to progress in engaging with others and making eye contact. After the sixth visit, he went home and slept for 14 hours, woke up the next morning, crawled into our bed and cuddled up next to me and said the words “Mommy, I love you.” I had never heard those words before from him. My heart just melted with joy. After seven weeks of treatment, the diaper rash and cough were completely gone. He began engaging with my family members, playing with his toys, running, eating and started talking again. He is gaining back his muscle mass and is gaining weight regularly. After everything my husband and I have been through, Dr Giaquinto was a breath of fresh air to us. I have done everything Dr. Giaquinto has told me to do for my son to the T. I have not waivered and only after six months of treatment my family and son have enjoyed bountiful success after success. My son takes his enzymes and Juice Plus+ daily. He is no longer taking any prescribed medications from the other doctors to my approval! He is making great strides for a healthier lifestyle and bright future. My husband and I will always consult with Dr. Giaquinto and use his services. Dr. Giaquinto is a wonderful person and we are truly blessed to be his patients. What is unknown to you Dr. G, is that you helped rebuild my family and helped save my marriage that was in deep crisis. I will forever be grateful to Dr. Giaquinto for his help and all his education.

With admiration and gratitude,

I initially came to see Dr. Giaquinto for my back pain, with which he has helped tremendously. But Dr. Giaquinto also helped me in a way I never expected. I have had bloating and stomach pain routinely show up after eating for as long as I can remember. Even eating something as small as a sandwich. I’d always walk around holding my stomach in because I felt like I’d swallowed a giant watermelon. It was just so big and it was too hard and painful to always suck it in and hold it in. Unfortunately my self-esteem suffered because of my bloating and pain and I just didn’t understand why it was so ugly. It got to a point were I wouldn’t go swimming or go to the beach if I had eaten that day. I even went to medical doctors and they said there was nothing wrong! The Internist I saw thought I had severe stress directed into my stomach. I also went to an acupuncturist and it didn’t help either. I felt like having no results or answers after seeing these professionals was a big waste of money. After I heard about the digestive work Dr. Giaquinto does, I thought I’d try one more time to find relief. Dr. Giaquinto did a digestive workup on me and prescribed specific exercises and enzyme supplements that my body needed to heal. It has been two months and the bloating and stomach pain is 90% improved. Now these are results! And I am unexpectedly also losing weight, which I am thrilled about and I don’t have to hold my stomach in any more. I know with Enzyme Nutrition one day soon I’ll be 100%!

Sincerely,

Two years ago I exacerbated a 10-year-old injury in my neck and I had also been suffering from right carpal tunnel syndrome for the last 2 months. Unfortunately, I hadn’t achieved any relief from other chiropractors I had gone to in the past. I also tried acupuncture, which didn’t help my symptoms. I could no longer teach and train efficiently in my profession, martial arts. I constantly moved from chiropractor to chiropractor because I didn’t get much relief. Sadly, I started to realize that I had to adjust and live with the discomfort and pain. I came to Dr. Giaquinto two years ago for help because it was affecting my sleep and other activities. I was also not aware of the tension building in my neck, shoulders, arms and right hip because I had become used to the pain. Since I started treatment with Dr. Giaquinto, I feel almost completely relieved from my carpal tunnel symptoms. I feel empowered to continue healing and strengthening. My body functions more efficiently now and continues to heal with each visit. This allows me to enjoy teaching and training martial arts again. Dr. Giaquinto has expanded my own awareness of my body and educated me on how and why I experienced the pain. He also showed me tools and exercises that I can use by myself at home to help maintain my health. Now I can better educate and train my students against injury and over-training. If and when they do get injured, I have no problem sending them here to Giaquinto Center. I feel confident that Dr. Giaquinto will take great care of them as he did me.

Sincerely,

I first came to see Dr. Giaquinto in January 2012. I had a hard time breathing every day, some days worse than others. I went to a pulmonary doctor six months earlier and they said I had COPD. And I have never smoked or been around many people who have smoked. My blood pressure was starting to rise and I was overweight. The quality of my sleep was getting worse and worse even being on a CPAP machine for the last 4 years. Every night I would wake up every 2 hours. My breathing condition was affecting everything I did. I had very little energy and desire. My ability to do things became less and less. I even wondered how long I would be able to live. I felt like I was getting weaker and weaker as time went on. The sleep machine the pulmonary specialist prescribed for me did not do what they said they would do, which was not to have the problem anymore but only to treat the symptoms.

I was desperate. I wanted someone who would work with me to get well by alternative means and not have to live on medications for the rest of my life. I prayed and took a half a day to research in yellow pages and online to find an answer. I came across Dr. Giaquinto and liked his approach to health. Dr. Giaquinto said he would be more than pleased to work with me. I told him that I would work with him. So we teamed up to get me well. I was serious and wanted to get well.

Since January 18th, I started on an exercise program of walking plus doing the exercises Dr. Giaquinto gave me. As of today, just under six months of treatment, I am breathing so much better, sleeping through the night uninterrupted, my blood pressure is normal and I have lost 25-30 pounds without taking drugs or dieting. Thanks to the adjustments, enzyme nutrition, eating healthy and walking, I am now living again.

Thank you Dr. Giaquinto.

I first came to Dr. Giaquinto in May 2008. I had chronic upper back pain, pain all over my body, digestive pain, and insomnia. I don’t remember when it began, but it has been with me for years. I suffered from insomnia partially due to the pain in my body so throughout most of the day I was fatigued, making every task extremely difficult to do and accomplish. Things that brought me joy weren’t bringing me joy anymore. I saw my primary care physician, a physical therapist, and another chiropractor for my conditions. My back and body pain lessened while in their care but never completely went away. My primary physician prescribed medicine for my stomach but it didn’t help me at all. I met Dr. Giaquinto at the Palisades farmer’s market and decided to seek treatment from him. Since being under his care, I no longer have insomnia, my energy level is much better, no more digestive problems, and the pain in my back and body are completely gone. The exercises that Dr. Giaquinto gave me to do will consistently help to strengthen my back.

Thank you Dr. Giaquinto.
Sincerely,

I first came to see Dr. Giaquinto in July 2007 because I had severe digestive difficulties. For thirteen years all the muscles on the right side of my body were always very tight creating migraine headaches, neck, lower back, and sciatic pain. This condition brought on constant pain. I assumed gymnastics, playing sports, and having a really active lifestyle may have caused my condition. Unfortunately, this condition interfered with my life to a great extent. I couldn’t run any more, lift weights, watch movies in a theater, drive for long periods of time, or even take long walks for shopping. I couldn’t do anything too physical or else I would pay for it. Every time I would eat, I would get indigestion, nausea and diarrhea. I have seen many acupuncturists, chiropractors, physical therapists, naturopaths and medical doctors for my condition. The naturopath had helped with the food allergies, but for the most part I only experienced short term relief seeing these professionals. I was referred to Dr. Giaquinto by a friend of mine that swears by him. Dr. Giaquinto put me on an enzyme program to help with my digestion. The enzymes have helped tremendously and they re-enforce what I should be eating and are a great reminder for me to eat properly. With my digestion system working extremely well now, the rest of my body is feeling much better due to the decreased nutritional stress. Thanks to Dr. Giaquinto, I am now resuming the active lifestyle I use to have thirteen years ago.

I had been suffering from eczema for the last five years. Living on the East Coast, the extreme temperature of winter would flare up the outbreaks on my fingers, wrist, and neck. Each year the outbreaks seemed to get worse and worse. When the breakouts would occur, it would hurt to put my hands in water and I had to be very cautious of any lotions I would use. It was also very uncomfortable going from hot (heated homes) to cold (the outdoors). My hands looked and felt awful. So, I went to a dermatologist. The dermatologist prescribed symptomatic relief, a cream that would dry up the eczema, but only until the next breakout. Even with using the cream, my skin felt very tight and very dry and the condition never improved.

I was referred to Dr. Giaquinto from a relative that was receiving treatment from him. Dr. Giaquinto did a digestive workup on me and told me exactly why I had the eczema. He prescribed a treatment plan that included chiropractic care and specific enzyme supplements that my body desperately needed. After taking the supplements for about two months my fingers, wrist, and neck are now completely normal!!! There are almost no patches of dry skin for the first time in years! I am extremely happy with my results and would recommend anyone who has a skin condition to see Dr. Giaquinto.

Sincerely,
Pat N.

I’d like to tell you a little bit about how I was feeling and the symptoms I put up with for three years prior to being treated by Dr. Giaquinto. I was tired a lot, especially in the afternoon. I work from home so taking a midday nap is very tempting and often happens! My body felt clenched, in a constant state of tension. My sleep pattern was terrible. I’d wake up after four hours of sleeping and could not get back to sleep. I had realized that the stress I’m continually under was hurting my body, even though I thought I was doing the right things for it. I ate right, exercised almost daily, gave myself “me time” to unwind, but it just wasn’t enough.

Since seeing Dr. Giaquinto for a digestive work-up and enzyme nutrition, I feel 200% better, maybe more. I have tons of energy. When I wake up at night, I generally can fall right back to sleep. I can eat foods like cheese again, which I had a difficult time properly digesting before. I’m not as hungry because my body gets the nutrition it needs from the foods I’m eating. I also snack less and it’s easier to control my weight. I would highly recommend seeing Dr. Giaquinto for enzyme nutrition, especially those people under a lot of stress, who have low energy or want to gain better control of their weight. Anyone can benefit from great nutrition and enzymes!

Sincerely,

I have arthritis pain in my hands, feet, and back. The hand and feet pain started about 6 years ago. The pain is work related and the doctors also think it has to do with my psoriasis. The pain was getting worse and worse up to about an 8 out of 10. The pain and swelling made it harder to work, but I never let it stop me from doing things. I was treated by my family doctor for a few years and then I went to a specialist and got treated with pills. I was also getting regular chiropractic adjustments. The pills helped my hands but did nothing for my feet. Four plus years of pain and the only relief was in my hands.

I was already getting chiropractic adjustments from Dr. Giaquinto, when he introduced enzyme nutrition to me. I have to admit that I was very skeptical about getting the enzyme treatments. How could fixing my digestion fix my pain? I decided to give it a try and followed everything that I was told to do. After about 3 months, the pain was going away. I also found that I was losing weight. My foot pain is now down to about a 1 or 2 and I have lost 21 pounds. One other benefit I didn’t realize was after giving up all the junk I was eating, my dentist commented on how good my teeth are. This is a win-win in my book. If you are thinking about trying this treatment, stop thinking and just do it. The only thing you have to lose is pain and maybe a little weight.

Sincerely,
Ed

I first came to Dr. Giaquinto on March 21, 2008. My wife had jaw surgery twenty-five years ago and had her jaw wired shut. I would wake up anytime she cleared her throat, fearing she was choking. Poor sleep ensued and it worsened over the years by job stress. I would routinely fall asleep easily, then wake up about two to three hours later and be restlessly awake for the rest of the night. This usually happened four to five times a week for the last twenty-five years. I would rarely, if ever feel totally rested, which I believe contributed to low energy in general and fatigue.

On top of that, I also would wake up four to five times a night to go to the bathroom to urinate. My medical doctor prescribed drugs to help me sleep. Another chiropractor also gave me natural sleeping aids. The only thing that worked was one of the drugs prescribed, but I was reluctant to take it regularly for fear of becoming dependent. I was referred to Dr. Giaquinto by my daughter. Since being treated by Dr. Giaquinto in a short amount of time with adjustments and enzyme nutrition, I would estimate that my sleep pattern has improved at least 50% and I might get up one time a night to urinate but that is rare now. I still have some nights where I have trouble sleeping, but I feel that is related to major stress in my life and stress management is something I am working on to help me sleep. Overall, I feel my conditions have greatly improved with Dr. Giaquinto’s treatment over the last six weeks.

For 4 years, I was dealing with shocks of pain at the base of where my head and neck meet. At that time, I was dealing with a lot of emotional and physical stress. I was in a math class that I couldn’t understand and every day after school I’d get so frustrated with the material. Also during this time I was in cross country where I was running anywhere from 5-8 miles per day and wasn’t getting the right amount of nutrients.

The pain got so bad that I couldn’t talk or function in those few seconds that the shocks of pain would happen. The intensity started out mild and would occur only once a week. Then, it progressed into happening multiple times a week which turned into multiple times a day and each time it would happen the pain increased. Then it was happening in the middle of the night and wouldn’t stop. It was like a contraction but in your head, meaning it would continue to be less and less time in between the headaches and they would become more severe. During that night it was so excruciating that I had to go to the hospital and they injected 6 doses of morphine into my body so that the pain would stop.

My mom suggested that I go see Dr. Keith. Since being adjusted by Dr. Keith, the shocks of pain in my head were significantly less intense and less frequent my first week of care. The second week of care, my headaches have completely stopped. I know now if I feel myself becoming tense or anxious to take a step back and pay close attention to my body. I can relax myself and continue on with the rest of my day. Also, when I get adjusted I feel so much lighter and happier than I did before. My body now is more capable of doing what I want like exercising without pain or being afraid that I’ll get another headache.

I think the most important thing I’ve learned from Dr. Keith, is to pay closer attention to my body. One thing that Dr. Keith always says is that the body doesn’t lie and by paying closer attention, I’m able to stop when I feel discomfort and fix the issue right away. I’ve also started meditating again which has helped my mental stress tremendously. I’m not so worried all the time now, which makes me feel less tense.

Getting regular chiropractic adjustments has improved my quality of life by a lot. I look forward to getting adjusted now where at first I was a bit nervous to go see a chiropractor but all that changed when I started seeing the differences in my body. I would 100% recommend everyone to see Dr. Keith. He has helped me when I thought I could never be fixed. He did it with 0 pills and taught me ways that I can actually deal with the issue if it ever comes up. He is not only a great doctor but also a great overall person. I highly recommend anyone see him, even if you think that a certain problem can’t be fixed by a chiropractor, it most likely can be, so give him a try!

Sincerely,
Sam

I was referred to Dr. Giaquinto by another enthusiastic patient of his. I came in because for the previous month I developed mild to constant headaches and experienced neck pain from the stress of recently moving 3000 miles across the country. I also have upper back pain from a 13-year-old weight training injury. Professionally, I am a personal fitness trainer, and I am an extremely active person. When the headaches and neck pain became more constant naturally it started to interfere with my day-to-day activities. My upper back pain often made me feel “out of sorts,” and all I wanted to do was rest. I did go to a chiropractor when I was first injured 13 years ago, but at the time I didn’t really understand that chiropractic could help in long-term wellness.

I felt immediate relief after the first adjustment by Dr. Giaquinto. He put me on a three times a week treatment plan and within the last couple of weeks I have noticed I am “forgetting” about the pain, and have returned to my busy normal activities. I feel more alert, grounded, focused, energetic, and surprisingly less prone to depression and lethargy. Chiropractic is a wellness health care or healing art with obvious direct connection of the body to mind wellness, which is the overall complete holistic package.

Since high school I suffered from frequent debilitating sinus congestion and headaches. Medication was futile. I would have to lay down in the dark and either sleep it off or vomit until I could sleep it off. I would be virtually incapacitated for hours at a time. I went to an allergist and after a barrage of tests, I was diagnosed with environmental allergies, prescribed Celdane, and received allergy shots for three years. My headaches became less frequent, but I was still constantly congested.

When I moved back from college and started working, the frequency of which I got headaches increased. I didn’t have the time, ability, or desire to be out of commission for hours at a time. I have never been really big on traditional medicine and decided to go to a homeopath and nutritionist about my condition. She put me on a rotation and elimination diet and gave me a list of supplements to take. I immediately noticed a change. I felt better and my headaches lessened in frequency and severity. However, I still had difficulty breathing out of my nose. At this point, I was thinking that this is the best it would ever be: partial congestion and infrequent headaches.

Then a friend of mine told me about enzymes and introduced me to Dr. Giaquinto. He did a digestive workup on me and explained why I have been plagued with sinus problems for the majority of my life. Then, he introduced me to enzymes and how they work. He prescribed specific supplements for me that my body needed. After taking the supplements for six weeks, I woke up one morning and could actually breathe out of my nose. I was ecstatic.

Since then, my body’s need for enzymes has changed and lessened and my headaches and sinus congestion are rare. Even though his goal is to help you to get your body to work properly on its own, I continue to be a loyal patient of Dr. Giaquinto. He not only gave me hope, he gave me a solution.

Sincerely,
Amy J.

I first came to the office at the end of August and have currently been under Dr. Keith’s care for almost three months.

I had struggled with indigestion, constipation, and upset stomach from the beginning of my childhood. It didn’t matter what I ate, I was constantly bloated and uncomfortable. Going into my twenties I began cutting out nearly all food groups trying to diagnose my condition. By the end of the summer 2015 though, I was so sick I began seeking help from a gastro doctor. I was getting slicing pains in my right side, I couldn’t sleep because of the pain, and at times it was even hard to breathe. I thought I had gallstones, because I had most classic symptoms for them. This pain lasted two weeks with no help from the medical doctor. I was frustrated, tired, throwing up, constantly bloated yet couldn’t eat, and all around an unhappy person until I found Dr. Keith.

When my condition became severe I couldn’t even leave the house to go to work. I was on bed rest because any slight movements seemed to upset my entire body. Before this though, I was often sluggish and always hungry even after I ate. I was sleeping 10-12 hours a day, and still not feeling rested. I didn’t even realize how much of my life was taken over by my health, because to me I was “healthy” and had in my mind created an idea of what was “normal” was.

I have always been under chiropractic care, but often times felt like I had no support outside of seeing them. The adjustment was great, but within time I would feel lousy again. The medical doctor who tried to treat me only recommended blood work and an invasive procedure where they take a piece of your stomach out and see if there is any harmful bacteria in it. His only real recommendation for me was medication to dilute the pain. I received absolutely no results from these visits except lasting frustration when I think about them.

My mom began to see Dr. Keith for similar digestion problems. She decided to give him a try after reading an article in the local health magazine. Within a week and a half my body began to function at a rate I didn’t know to be possible. I went through mild detox with some headaches, but this was all expected to get my body back on track. I am energized after 6 hours of sleep and my energy lasts throughout the day. I’m able to eat again which was the biggest relief. I overall feel more aware, focused, and present within my body and life. I work stressful jobs (waitressing and film sets), as well as being in my senior year of college. Because of the enzymes Dr. Keith has prescribed I am able to tackle all these challenges with a positive attitude. I do not get overwhelmed as quickly or easily anymore, in fact I don’t get overwhelmed at all.

Being on the enzymes while also under chiropractic care has really changed the course of my life for the better. I understand what healthy is for me, and will never settle for anything less than what I feel now, and what I feel now is amazing. Also as an added bonus I lost a little over ten pounds. I haven’t done much to assist with this weight loss other than taking ownership of my health and taking the steps to get back on track with Dr. Keith’s plan.

Sincerely,
Nicolette

For 3 years, I was suffering from IBSD, spastic colon, burning and discomfort after eating, felt very heavy and lethargic after meals. I do not know for certain what caused this, but I know it had something to do with my personal stress and inability to properly digest my food. My symptoms were so severe, pervasive and compromised my everyday activities. I had to question if I could be in a car for 2 hours without having to find a restroom. I was always considering how long I was going to be comfortable before having to take a pain pill. It gave me extreme anxiety about being uncomfortable during long situations whether it was work, an event or an outing.

After seeing Dr. Keith, I felt the best I have in 10 years. I no longer have dietary restrictions and I feel equipped to deal with whatever life presents. Since getting consistent chiropractic adjustments and taking enzymes from Dr. Keith, the difference is very significant. My enzymes are the things that make sense and they are my allies. I now am understanding what my body is telling me and with Dr. Keith’s help, give my body the right support it needs.

Hell yes I would recommend Dr. Keith because he delivers amazing results!

I came to see Dr. Giaquinto in September 2006. I was referred to Dr. Giaquinto by a co-worker. I was experiencing acid reflux, indigestion, bloating and insomnia. I contributed my symptoms primarily to stress and poor eating habits. Although I’ve had these symptoms for years, at times they were so severe that I thought my chest pains were a signal I was having a heart attack. My symptoms also keep me up at night so I’m tired and dragging during the day. My medical doctor prescribed the little purple pill and the symptoms went away, but unfortunately it caused me to gain weight. It masked the symptoms but didn’t get to the root of my digestion problems.

Since I’ve been taking enzymes and doing my stretching exercises, I have noticed a huge difference in the way I feel. No more heartburn or bloating and I have energy after I eat instead of feeling tired. I sleep through the night and wake up rested and it’s all thanks to Dr. Giaquinto.

I first came to see Dr. Giaquinto in November 2009. My six month old daughter, Colette, was experiencing severe digestion difficulties, stomach cramps, bloating, gas, constipation, and insomnia since she was born. Every day she would scream for two to three hours because she was in so much pain. Colette was only sleeping for 30-90 minutes at a time due to the amount of pain and discomfort she was experiencing. Needless to say after six months, my husband and I were exhausted physically and emotionally. We felt helpless and hopeless that our little girl was suffering so much.

We have seen seven different doctors and specialists and they all said the same thing, “she is on the wrong formula.” That was their treatment, to switch formula. We had switched formulas countless times and Colette’s symptoms didn’t change at all. We were referred to Dr. Giaquinto by our Pediatrician. After our first appointment with Dr Giaquinto we noticed a dramatic difference. Colette no longer screamed in pain for two to three hours per day, she slept soundly, and she has regular bowel movements! Continuing with treatment, Colette’s bloating and gas has disappeared and is now sleeping five to six hours at a time, like baby’s should. My husband and I were absolutely thrilled with the results Dr. Giaquinto was able to get for Colette and us. Thank you Dr. Giaquinto from the bottom of our hearts for helping us experience life without daily pain. I had forgotten how it felt to have a “normal” day. We look forward to working with you to achieve a long life of health!

I have been seeing Dr. Giaquinto for two years for my own health and just started bringing my children to see him this year. Recently, my husband and I took in a newborn, drug-exposed foster baby boy who was nine days old. Needless to say, this was a difficult transition, but also, this was one unhappy baby! After a few weeks it was apparent there were some chronic issues with this boy, including thrush, constipation, and difficulty sleeping/napping. He would only nap for about twenty minutes at a time and sleeping at night was, at best, in three-hour intervals.

When we picked up baby Jayden, he had already been seen by a pediatrician a few times and was on a second round of medication for the thrush, which seemed to be about 90% effective. I decided to let Dr. Giaquinto examine and treat him. During our first visit, Dr. Giaquinto adjusted the baby and put him on an enzyme program to start. Within the first few days, the constipation definitely started to resolve itself. Within about three weeks I saw a major transformation in him. His sleeping improved dramatically; he is now taking one and a half-hour-long naps and sleeping eight to ten hours a night! The thrush had also completely cleared up, constipation resolved, and the general demeanor of this baby drastically improved – he became a happy baby! I am confident that the combination of chiropractic care and enzyme nutrition was the healing treatment this child needed and I am SO glad I chose to have him seen by Dr. Giaquinto. Unbelievable!

Sincerely,

I first came to see Dr. Giaquinto in May 2008. I have been suffering from IBS on a daily basis for approximately seventeen years. I would have five to six loose bowel movements a day along with a lot of gas. My condition had gotten to a point where it was hard for me to go out and socialize with friends and family. I had been treated by my medical doctor for this condition. He prescribed medication for me and I have had mediocre results. I was referred to Dr. Giaquinto by my daughter. Since being treated by Dr. Giaquinto, I have about two to three firm bowel movements per day and 50% less gas. I take my enzymes faithfully and notice a difference when I don’t. The enzymes really help me. Thank you Dr. Giaquinto.

I was recommended to Dr. Keith in October 2006 by a work colleague because of an injury I sustained. She had received amazing results after her own knee injury. I had torn my meniscus on September 28, 2006 during a kick boxing class. It was extremely uncomfortable and I could barely climb down all of the steps in my townhouse. Unfortunately, my knee was also very swollen and I really had limited mobility. This was extremely difficult for me because I am an active person and love to cross train 5-6 days a week doing tennis, swimming, hiking, biking and running. I was unable to do any of it because of my knee injury. It has been 3 ½ months since being treated by Dr. Giaquinto. I too have had excellent results. I can finally bend my knee almost all of the way, the swelling is gone and my knee feels like it’s not sore all of the time. I can walk again for more than five minutes without feeling any pain. Finally, I can do limited exercise. For the most part, I feel back to normal!

I caught covid for the second time this year. For the past 6 months, I have been experiencing severe long covid symptoms of loss of smell, taste, sinus congestion and I felt constantly lightheaded. They just wouldn’t go away. It was hard for me to concentrate at school and coffee/food just tasted bad to me. After 2 adjustments by Dr. Keith, I could taste food again, the sinus congestion and lightheadedness just went away. Dr. Keith made me realize that I didn’t have to feel bad forever and that I had the power to change it. Dr. Keith genuinely cares about the health and well-being of his patients and works to make their lives better.

I first came to see Dr. Giaquinto one year ago. I was recovering from a sciatic nerve condition that had been with me for about 3-4 months. It was quite debilitating and I had great difficulty sleeping. When I had an intense bout, I had difficulty sleeping and driving. I have seen and worked with several physical therapists and chiropractors over the years. My results from seeing these professionals were mostly short-term relief. Dr. Giaquinto is an unusually gifted chiropractor. He has wonderful natural talent combined with a strong knowledge of the inner workings of the body and its nutritional needs. Out of all the professionals I have seen over the years, Dr. Giaquinto is the best at keeping my body finely tuned.

I first came to see Dr. Giaquinto in September 2004. I had been experiencing constant chronic neck and low back pain for 17 years. Lifting heavy objects at my job and poor posture habits were the cause of my injuries. For so long, my pain level was a 7 out of 10, with periods of even more intense pain. Sometimes this chronic pain could immobilize me for several days at a time. Throughout this time, I sought treatment with a Medical Doctor and also a Chiropractor in Sacramento. I did experience some temporary pain relief, but I didn’t receive any education on how to strengthen my neck and back in order to avoid pain in the future from either doctor. I was enthusiastically referred to Dr. Keith by a neighbor who is being treated by him. My results have been amazing! I thought I was just going to have to live my life in pain. This is the most pain-free I’ve been in 17 years, thanks not only to the adjustments, but for Dr. Giaquinto’s passion to educate me on how to care for my whole being. He didn’t just “crack me” and send me on my way (like my previous chiropractor). I now have exercises, as well as stretches that I do throughout the workday that Dr. G. taught me to relieve the pressure and help improve my posture. I’ve never worked with a health professional so keenly focused on the overall good of his patients. When I tell friends and family about how my life is so much more enjoyable now that I’m not a prisoner to chronic pain, I often refer to Dr. G as a “miracle worker”, which is high praise from a hard to please person such as myself. I highly recommend Dr. Giaquinto to anyone trying to live a pain-free life, as well as those who are looking for some preventative therapy and education on how to maintain good health.

I started chiropractic treatment with Dr. Giaquinto at the beginning of January of 2005 because whenever I had received Chiropractic treatment in the past it had relieved my pain. I was experiencing right mid back pain which began two years prior from constant heavy lifting. On a scale of 1-10, my midback pain intensity was an 8 and it interfered with about 50% of my daily activity. Since I started seeing Dr. Giaquinto, I have more relief from my back pain than from previous chiropractors. I’ve never felt this great or pain free!

Sincerely,

I suffered from chronic headaches and migraines in addition to massive jaw pain. I’ve had headaches since I was a little girl and have gotten used to having them. As I aged, though, the intensity of the headaches increased so much that they were debilitating. My headaches were keeping me home from work and draining all my energy, leaving me too exhausted to play with my daughter or even function. I’d be in bed for 2-3 days! The jaw pain I’ve had for 25 years but in recent years the pain worsened to the point that I could hardly chew my food. The jaw pain increased with stress as I store most stress in my neck and jaw. The headaches were caused by a variety of things…stress, too much sugar and my menstrual cycle. The jaw pain coincided with the headaches just exasperating the debilitating headache.

I survived the pain for many years with Ibuprofen but, as I developed digestive issues during some major life changes and stress, I needed to stop taking it. I also visited a chiropractor who did basic adjustments which has helped with the intensity of my pain. As stress persisted, so did my pain. I had to do something to get my life back. I was heading towards 40 years old and needed to get my body to work at full capacity. I needed energy, strength, wellness, and less pain!

I’ve known Dr. Keith for years, he was a high school friend. Since high school, we have lived in different parts of the country. One time when he came home, he asked if he could examine me. Afterwards he asked if I wanted to feel better and get rid of the headaches. He talked me through what was going on in my body and how all my issues were related to one another. He also stressed that my digestive system was compromised and with proper nutrition the body can mostly heal itself.

Through some diet changes, enzyme therapy, and fantastic chiropractic adjustments, my body responded positively. It was like my body was saying thank you for giving it what it needs and helping it along with the enzymes, which got me out of crisis mode quickly!

Over the course of a year, my enzyme treatment was altered to maintain health. My headaches are rare now with an occasional slight headache during a menstrual cycle. However, the pain is minimal and only lasts a 2-3 hours instead of 2-3 days. He also did some work on my jaw. He was able to completely relieve the pain on one side for the first time in 20 years. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Amy

I have been suffering from migraines for the past thirty years. At times I would get them as frequent as four days a week. My migraines interfered with my daily life because I had a hard time focusing on anything. I had to be in a dark room and sleep it off. While at work I took breaks often to close my eyes. I had to wear sunglasses until it was dark just for me to fall asleep. I didn’t know what was causing them. I had been treated by every doctor that I could think of to help with my migraines. They’ve run cat scans and x-rays. I’ve gotten acupuncture, and even had medicine prescribed to me to help, but nothing worked.

A co-worker of mine recommended I go and see Dr. Keith Giaquinto. When I came to Dr. Giaquinto, his treatments stopped my headaches and I was starting to feel like a brand new person. This was the first time something had worked and was consistent at working. I’m extremely happy with Dr. Giaquinto. My result from being treated by Dr. Giaquinto’s is that I feel amazing. My migraines are not completely gone but are significantly less frequent and less intense. Dr. Giaquinto has given me the tools I need to manage my headaches and keep my head and body healthy and pain free.

Sincerely,
Suzanne D.

I first came to Dr. Giaquinto about one month ago. I had been experiencing periodic neck pain and left hip discomfort for about three years, ever since the birth of my daughter. The severity of the pain was about a 5 out of 10. My health condition limited how I held my daughter and some of the work I did around the house. I had seen three other chiropractors for my condition over the last two years. I received mediocre care from two out of the three, and overall the third was pretty good. I decided to try someone else, so I contacted my insurance company and they referred me to Dr. Giaquinto.

Since being treated by Dr. Giaquinto, I have had excellent results. Any expectations I had about getting well regarding my neck and hip pain were exceeded by Dr. Giaquinto. I am extremely happy with my results because I am no longer limited in my activities and am pain free.

Sincerely,
Angela A.

I came for treatment to Dr. Giaquinto in early December 2005. At that time I was experiencing numbness and tingling in my arms and also in some of my fingers. My symptoms had begun about two months prior to my first visit with Dr. Giaquinto. As I am a student, I believe the cause of the problem was due to sitting in awkward positions reading, or sitting awkwardly for long periods of time at my computer. When I came to see Dr. Giaquinto, the numbness was so bad that I didn’t have feeling at all in my arms or fingers. It was more uncomfortable than painful and very obvious that something was wrong.

I had been treated two years ago by another chiropractor for a related condition but that time it wasn’t as extreme as this time around. For me, chiropractic care has always been helpful for this condition. Since Dr. Giaquinto has been treating me, I feel much better! The numbness only reoccurs if I am sleeping in a bad position. Once I adjust my posture it goes away.

Sincerely,
Amanda C.

I first came to see Dr. Giaquinto in July of 2010. I was suffering with low back stiffness, my gait felt crooked, and pain in my left foot. My foot condition started in 2009. My biggest issue was my left foot. I started with Morton’s Neuroma, then I got Plantar Fasciitis, and currently I am dealing with Achilles Tendonitis. Because of these foot problems I am in a lot of pain, have no energy to do anything but get home and put my foot up and ice it. It is hard to wear certain shoes because of the Achilles issue. I love to golf and haven’t been able to do that since 2009, and would love to just go for a walk.

I was treated by a podiatrist for the foot problem. I purchased foot inserts, received cortisone shots, and was sent to do physical therapy twice, and both times it did not help. So in July of 2010, I came to see Dr. Giaquinto for help. Everything was hurting, back, foot, hip, my balance and gait was off. In July of 2010, I started with chiropractor care. Now all my back issues have improved. I am not stiff in the morning and my gait no longer feels crooked.

As of August 2011 I still have the Achilles Tendonitis and it is not getting any better. My worst fear was that I was going to have surgery which is an eight week healing process. I would not be able to be off work without pay that long. I saw the flyer about Dr. Giaquinto’s digestive class and decided to attend, thinking my sister would benefit more than myself. I started an enzyme program in August of 2011. Never in a million years did I ever think that taking digestive enzymes would heal my foot problem. In the two months that I have worked with Dr. G my foot pain is gone. On October 21st I walk in a five mile walk for breast cancer. I finished the walk pain free in my foot, back and hip. I have so much more energy, I feel healthy again and Dr. Giaquinto is my miracle worker.

Thanks!!

I first came to Dr. Giaquinto in May 2005. The pain in my right shoulder was fairly severe. It radiated down to my elbow and I also experienced considerable weakness in my right hand. It seemed to have started about two weeks prior to my first appointment as a neck strain, and was exacerbated in a recent mountain bike fall. I consider myself to be a fairly active person and my condition interfered with my life immensely. I could no longer cycle, kick box, or even play with my two young daughters. I had never been to a chiropractor before nor had I ever been treated by another professional for that condition. I was referred to Dr. Giaquinto by one of my doctors.

After the first treatment, I felt 50-60% improvement immediately. The pain and weakness is subsiding with each subsequent visit, and the exercises prescribed to me by Dr. Giaquinto are helping as well.

Sincerely,
David K.

I came to see Dr. Giaquinto in June of 2011 for my lower back pain and a skin rash. I had the skin rash for 1 year and the lower back pain for over 10 years. I had a raised rash and bumps all over my arms. It was difficult to sleep at night due to the rash itching all the time. I was limping when I walk due to my lower back pain. I went to two Dermatologists for my skin rash. The doctors gave me topical creams for my rash, which did nothing. I had no relief of the itching. They even took a biopsy with no results in finding what caused the rash. I drove by Dr. Giaquinto’s office, which was near my home. I was tired of suffering, so I stopped and went in to see if he could help me.

Dr. Giaquinto did a consultation and an intensive physical exam to evaluate my body mechanically and nutritionally. He knew immediately that the skin rash on my arms was coming from inside of me and treated me for “leaky gut”. The most amazing thing is he knew what it was by his observations. Dr. Giaquinto treated me with chiropractic adjustments, exercises, enzyme nutrition and changed my diet. The diet he put me on took out the complex carbohydrates that my body was having difficulty in processing. I noticed results immediately, my lower back pain and limp went away, my skin rash went away within 3 weeks and I slept much better at night. I feel better and can enjoy my life more now. I do my stretches, take the enzymes he prescribed to me and will continue with chiropractic adjustments. Dr. Giaquinto also took the time to explain and answer questions I had, this in fact was my first step to recovery. Understanding my issues was an education that helped me heal so quickly.

Thank you Dr. Giaquinto.

My colitis began in 1993 and I was diagnosed in 1994. I believed it was brought on by stress and anxiety. Also, certain foods like shellfish, milk, fruits and vegetables triggered flare ups. Then the colitis became chronic. I would have bloody diarrhea/loose stool multiple times (up to 20) per day. I was on prednisone (steroids) on and off for many years. My colitis just never went away without having to take prednisone to heal the inflammation. My colitis limited my activities of daily living quite a bit. I couldn’t exercise, go out to eat, go away for weekends with friends. It also interfered with me being able to attend offsite meetings regularly for work. I couldn’t be too far away from a bathroom.

I was treated by 5 other doctors and specialists. They prescribed 2 different medications, but one of them required 16 pills per day. The results were sometimes good – but temporary. I could go into remission for certain periods of time (up to three years in remission at one time) after initial healing period by taking prednisone, but it was never permanent. And I never liked taking all the medications because of the horrible side effects. I also tried other natural remedies but couldn’t sustain the remission with these programs. Major flare ups always would come back, and I would be back on prednisone.

I had been going to a chiropractor for years for neck and back pain. I saw a flyer and went to Dr. Keith’s talk on digestion disorders. I decided to give Enzyme Nutrition a try. Since starting Enzyme Nutrition, my results have been amazing!! I have only one to two formed bowel movements per day without any blood, increased energy and I can eat more fruits and vegetables again. Dr. Giaquinto can help anyone determine the right combination of enzymes to take. It is nice to be healthy all the time now instead of being so sick all the time!! Also, I have stopped taking my preventative medication that I was told I would be on for the rest of my life.

Thank you Dr. Giaquinto!!

Michele V.

I have been suffering from IBS and a weak immune system most of my life. I also suffered from periodic back, neck, and shoulder pain. I am a very active person and love to work out and go biking. Having these conditions would interfere with my life quite a bit. If my one of my daughters was sick, I would usually get what they had. A typical cold would last 4 to 6 weeks! When my back would go out, it would also last 4 to 6 weeks. This was “my” normal for recovery. I was treated by doctors and specialists and I had some improvement with my digestive issues however, there was no improvement with my weakened immune system or back, neck, and shoulder pain. I was referred to Dr. Giaquinto by my wife’s podiatrist.

Ever since starting the enzyme treatment my digestive and immune system are stronger than they have been for decades. I’m more resistant to colds. If I do get a cold, the symptoms are very mild and only last 2-3 days. I also recover from injuries much, much faster than I used to. This is the best I have felt in a long time thanks to the enzymes.

Sincerely,
David Konell
