About Dr. Kuehnemann

Dr. Herbert Kuehnemann began moonlighting in hospitals back in 1967. It was a part-time job during his freshman year in college. This was before there were Intensive Care Units, pagers, central air conditioning, piped in oxygen, carpeted floors, and many other amenities that we take for granted in our newer hospitals. Then it became time to continue college or be drafted into the military. Dr. Kuehnemann chose to enlist as a Navy Hospital Corpsman to serve with the US Marine Corps. After his release from active duty, he continued his undergraduate studies at UW-Madison and UW-Stevens Point. After graduation in 1974, he attended the University of Chicago Hospitals and Clinics Advanced Respiratory Therapy Program. Dr. Kuehnemann has worked in many areas of medicine as a Registered Respiratory Therapist. He has been employed as a staff therapist, supervisor, department head, college instructor, and finally a home care therapist for a Fortune 500 Company. He has worked in civilian and military hospitals in Wisconsin, California, and Louisiana. His experience includes Combat Field Medical Training, Emergency Care, Recovery Room, Neonatal ICU, Peds ICU, Coronary ICU, Surgical ICU, Neuro Units, etc. Then hospitals began to change their emphasis in the early 1980’s and Dr. Kuehnemann could see transitions in traditional medical care that made him very uncomfortable. 

A rib pain between his shoulder blades could not be resolved with normal medical treatment. In a measure of desperation, Dr. Kuehnemann sought out Chiropractic care as a pure skeptic. He was soon cured of his backache and other subtle problems that he had learned to live with. The process of recovery triggered his desire to become a Doctor of Chiropractic. Chiropractic care filled the need to fix patients before they were critically or chronically ill. This made more sense than always trying to rescue very seriously ill and dying patients. This was often too much too late and too expensive. "Fix them before they are broken" became part of his future philosophy.

He married Peggy Glueckstein in 1985 and they moved to Davenport, Iowa until the completion of his studies in 1988. Once graduated and two children later, they returned to the Milwaukee area to setup a practice and to be near family.

Dr Kuehnemann is now in private practice in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. His practice is centrally located in the Milwaukee area. His office has ample off street parking and is conveniently located adjacent to the Healthways Health Food store.
