Meet Dr. April J. Modesti
Chiropractic Doctor in Los Altos, CA
Dr. April Modesti arrived at her chiropractic career quite by accident, literally.
After a car accident led to five years of chronic neck pain, a chiropractor was the first person able to relieve her suffering. When her treatment was complete, she had a new lease on life plus the impetus to begin a new career.
From the beginning of her studies, Dr. Modesti knew she was going to be different from chiropractors who used force in doing adjustments. As a highly-sensitive person, she appreciated a softer approach; and thought others might like it, too. She was right. Today, her gentle approach and deep listening to the body are the hallmarks of Dr. Modesti's practice. Her caring manner and deep dedication have earned her the reputation for being someone who may be able to help when no one else can.
Dr. Modesti collaborates and cooperates with health professionals across the spectrum: Medical doctors, acupuncturists, naturopaths, Pilates practitioners and massage therapists are just a few of the people to whom she refers.
Her patients range the spectrum, too: All ages and sizes with many different conditions.
"Discovering ever more subtle ways to lead the body to health is a joy to me," she says. "I'm absolutely committed to achieving the best possible outcome for everyone I see."
Her 40-year career and hundreds of grateful patients attest to her success in reaching her goal.
Dr. Modesti is an honors graduate of Pennsylvania State University and the Los Angeles College of Chiropractic.

Who We Help
Dr. Modesti is someone who listens... Understands... and can help.
Serenity Chiropractic is dedicated to the health and well-being of patients through personal attention, expanded perspective, and practical steps to relieve pain and stress.
After being in practice for 40 years, we've found that the majority of our patients start out telling similar stories. If any of the following describes your experience, then there's a good chance we can help you feel much better.
Highly sensitive
A lot of our patients are highly sensitive. They react strongly to stimuli others may not even notice: Their environment. Common household products. Noises. And, very often, common foods. The highly sensitive person may feel chronically unwell, agitated or uncomfortable, even when there is no identifiable "disease."
Allergic
We also see many people who are clearly allergic. The allergic person has reactions to what they touch, smell, and eat. They may experience difficulty breathing, have gastric distress, and /or headaches, as well as a myriad of other symptoms. However, they may have difficulty identifying what causes them to have those reactions.
Ignoring prolonged pain
Being in the heart of Silicon Valley, many of our patients are focused, hard-driving, overscheduled, and suffering from chronic pain. Deciding that they're too busy to deal with it, they ignore the messages their body is doing its best to convey. This works for a while. We see them when the pain has become impossible to ignore.
Unable to find help
This describes almost all of our patients. They may have gone to many medical professionals seeking help, or just a few; but they haven't found the relief they've been looking for.
Interested in well-being
Our patients know, or quickly come to realize, that well-being is an on-going process. Interventions can help alleviate symptoms, but achieving a state of health takes time and focus. The good news is we are here to help support them, and you, in feeling your very best.
What We Do
Simple changes. Profound results.
At Serenity Chiropractic, we take the time to learn about you. We want to know what's bothering you, of course. We also want to know how you spend your day. What stressors you have in your life. What kind of exercise you get. And what you eat.
Our approach is based on three basic principles:
- Think globally. Each part reflects the whole.
- Listen carefully. The body knows what it needs.
- Respond gently. Small shifts can lead to dramatic results.
If you have been to other chiropractors, you will find my approach may be different than what you have experienced before. I use several different techniques, all of which are gentle and effective.
How are you doing?
Every patient is different; however, there are several principal questions/areas of concern that we consider as the basis for our treatment.
Where is the imbalance? Are you "hung up"?
Spinal, cranial and joint misalignment can lead to a variety of symptoms. Dr. Modesti will track your issues to identify the parts of your body that need help.
What do you need to regain balance?
We will make the adjustments necessary to help you regain freedom of movement, and optimal nerve functioning.
Is your lifestyle supporting your health?
Being healthy doesn't mean being "perfect". Most everyone can identify habits and behaviors they know aren't in their best interest.
Dr. Modesti will identify the specific things you can do to start feeling better right away, along with suggestions to ease to into changes that may be more challenging.
