Dr. Tim Kesemann
At age 14 I was trying to keep up with the big boys at a local motocross track on a beat up old Yamaha. I went over a jump crooked and shot into the trees. I thought I was going to hit one. I didn’t but the bike did and I flew off at 30 mph. I went to the Emergency Room, they said nothing was broken or dislocated but I had no strength in my right shoulder. I went to an Orthopedist and he said do nothing for 3 months and I did. Then I started football and my shoulder went weak, again. In desperation my mother took me to a Chiropractor. He figured out what was wrong and went to work fixing it. It took about a year but the next football season I could play without pain and the sinus problems I had since a child also went away. I tried other jobs for a while but a career in chiropractic kept nagging at me. At age 24 I began the path to becoming a Chiropractor. I never thought of being a medical doctor because only chiropractic gave me my life back.
Chiropractic Education
I received a bachelor’s degree from Columbia College in Columbia, Mo. I then went to Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, IA , the birthplace of chiropractic, graduating with a doctorate of chiropractic degree in 1989. During the last year of school at Palmer I was getting the flu and told a colleague I was going home. He asked if I had gotten adjusted for it (I always thought of chiropractic only for “pain” problems) I said “no”, he insisted so I let him adjust me, then I went home, to my dismay the next day I woke up feeling “normal” and off to school I went. This experience surprised me, yet intrigued me. Here I was in the last year of my chiropractic education and I still didn’t fully understand what chiropractic had to offer to health improvement. When I graduated I didn’t stop learning, I have over 2000 additional hours of continuing education. Being able to determine your problem and fix it is very important to me.
Odessa Chiropractic Center
I grew up in a small town (pop. 1800) and liked it but wanted to be closer to a bigger city so I picked Odessa in 1990. When I decided to become a doctor I chose to be a small town doctor you know; friendly, country wisdom, caring, concerned, intelligent, real. I’ve even made house calls. I thought I just needed to apply the golden rule and people would line up at the door. Then reality set in. People did not understand chiropractic; people were confused about health care vs. disease care.
In 2015 I discovered Upper Cervical Chiropractic even though it has been around for over 90 years. It is my conclusion that Upper Cervical Chiropractic is what put Chiropractic on the map. I became a Certified Orthospinologist. Using Orthospinology my wife had resolution of problems that had plagued her for years, I saw people with vertigo predictably get better, brain fog reduce, Trigeminal neuralgia drastically improve and many other neurologic symptoms reduce. PEOPLE’S LIVES GOT BETTER.. I say upper cervical training helped me to go from GOOD to GOODER. I now have people who come from over 150 miles away and we help them at a level better than before.

I had been a Chiropractor for over 25 years when I noticed a glaring contradiction in my profession. It was PRINCIPLE vs PRACTICE.
PRINCIPLE means a constant, unchanging, and undeniable fact. Think about gravity.
PRACTICE means ever changing, always searching for the newest, latest, greatest thing. The next best thing is just around the corner.
Chiropractic is a PRINCIPLE. Nerve interference causes the body to go from “ease” to “dis-ease” to “disease” to “death”. Chiropractic removes nerve interference to allow the body to return to a normal state. This has been understood by Chiropractors since the 1920’s.
In 2014, I discovered Orthospinology Upper Cervical Chiropractic. This technique is as closely aligned to the founding PRINCIPLE of Chiropractic that I know of. The results significantly improved so I began using this technique with all my patients.
What Is Orthospinology?
Orthospinology is a subspecialty of the chiropractic profession, focusing on aligning the upper cervical spine. It is one of several upper cervical procedures utilizing radiographs (xray films) of the top two bones of the neck and the base of the skull (the upper cervical spine) to determine a misalignment or subluxation that may create irritation of and thereby, interference to, the functioning your nervous system.
About the Orthospinology Sub-Specialty
Based on the original work of John F. Grostic D.C. that began in 1939. Ongoing research clearly demonstrates the profound effects of the Upper Cervical misalignment and its correction on optimum health and wellness.
Imaging and Analysis
The Orthospinologist uses the latest advancements in imaging and computer software to visualize the upper cervical spine. Diagnostic images are carefully analyzed to mathematically calculate the vector necessary to gently produce the spinal correction.
Orthospinology spinal correction is gentle yet effective for an infant with colic, a grandmother with arthritis or a bad low back. Orthospinology is effective care for spines and problems of all ages. The correction is made by chiropractic adjusting instruments or by the doctor’s hand.
I know if I can find the misalignment, if I can get it unlocked and you follow thru, your health will be significantly better.
I am looking forward to helping you on your journey to better health.
I like to say “We went from Good to Gooder” because it works better in all conditions.
Sincerely
Timothy Kesemann D.C.
