According to the American Chiropractic Association, 9 out of 10 Americans suffer from headaches. Some are occasional, some frequent, and some that are debilitating and cause nausea. If you are one of those in the 90 percent, chiropractic treatment may be for you. Chiropractic treatment has gained recognition as a non-pharmacological approach to managing headaches and migraines, offering relief for many sufferers through a combination of spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and lifestyle modifications. 

While the exact causes of headaches and migraines can vary, Dr. Kennedy often focuses on addressing underlying musculoskeletal imbalances and tension that may contribute to these conditions. Misalignments or restrictions in the vertebrae of the neck can lead to tension and irritation of the surrounding muscles and nerves, potentially triggering headaches or migraines. Chiropractic adjustments aim to realign the spine, alleviate pressure on nerves, and restore proper function, which can help reduce headache frequency and intensity.

In addition to hands-on therapies, chiropractors may also provide guidance on lifestyle modifications and ergonomic adjustments to help prevent headaches and migraines from recurring. This may include recommendations for improving posture, managing stress, staying hydrated, and avoiding triggers such as certain foods or environmental factors.
