Dr. Denny's goal is to identify the root cause of your health challenges, offer effective, personalized solutions, and empower you to begin the fulfilling life you deserve.
Gentle, evidence‑informed care for tension, stress, posture strain, and recurring discomfort.
Headaches and migraines can come from many sources — stress, posture strain, neck tension, jaw tightness, or nervous system overload. When these patterns build up, the muscles and joints in the neck and jaw become irritated, leading to tension headaches, migraines, facial pressure, or pain behind the eyes. Our approach focuses on identifying the root cause and restoring healthy movement so your body can function without constant tension.
Why Headaches Happen
Many headaches start in the neck and upper back, especially when the joints become stiff or the surrounding muscles tighten from long hours at a desk, stress, or poor posture. TMJ tension, clenching, and grinding can also overload the jaw and contribute to headaches. When the nervous system becomes overwhelmed, migraines can become more frequent or intense.
How Chiropractic & Acupuncture Can Help
My approach focuses on improving mobility, reducing muscular tension, and supporting healthier movement patterns so your body can function more comfortably.
Care may include:
• Gentle chiropractic adjustments
• Soft‑tissue work for neck, shoulders, and jaw
• Acupuncture to support relaxation and reduce tension
• Posture and movement strategies
• Cranial and cervical work when appropriate
• Nutrition guidance and Designs for Health functional testing

triggers, or stress physiology
