About Me

Dr. Kenny Mittelstadt is a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine and Doctor of Chiropractic. His driving philosophy is to emulate the maxim, “doctor as teacher,” to empower patients to take an active, purposeful role in their health and wellness narratives. Optimal health is contingent on optimal health behaviors, and Dr. Mittelstadt’s passion is to educate and empower patients with wholesome tools he’s learned through years of dedicated education that can align with their goals. His vision is to elevate healthcare interactions, to deliver personalized healing experiences, and provide results in physical, mental, and emotional wellness under the tenants of complementary and alternative medicine.

Dr. Mittelstadt’s interests include mental health and stress management in corporate and occupational settings, Chinese herbal medicine, lifestyle medicine, digestive health, and chronic overuse injuries in visual and performing artists. Dr. Mittelstadt’s current roles and appointments include Co-Founder of the concierge-style Alkemy Acupuncture & Integrative Medicine, Inc., part-time faculty in Principles & Practice and Basic Science departments at his alma mater, Southern California University of Health Sciences, and Vice-President of Finance and Fundraising for the SCU Alumni Association.

Dr. Mittelstadt believes that optimal health and wellness are a direct manifestation of balance, a foundational concept in both Chinese medicine and chiropractic. Whether pursuing optimal wellness through prevention or navigating through life’s serious diagnoses, he believes any and all can benefit from the return to balance that both of these interventions can provide. Fewer algorithms, more humanity in healthcare - this is the underlying vision that resonates in Dr. Mittelstadt’s ideal patient experience.

Dr. Mittelstadt is the second oldest of six children - part of his inspiration for pursuing his fields was the fact that his mother always “knew enough to be dangerous” when it came to home remedies. He would accompany his siblings visits to the family osteopath, naturopath, or chiropractor whenever possible. He was always inspired and his curious mind fulfilled by the way that these practitioners would take the time, educate, and entertain his questions. He is a classically trained percussionist having received his Bachelor’s of Arts in Music Performance from Texas Lutheran University.
