In this inaugural episode of This Headache Journey, host Adam Flaherty kicks things off by sharing his own long, complex journey with chronic daily headaches—and then dives into a candid conversation with Dr. Brett Racine, chiropractor and owner of Bonfire Chiropractic and Wellness in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

If you’ve wondered whether chiropractic care could help with your headaches (or if you’re just curious about what really happens in the chiropractor’s office), you'll find great value in this episode and conversation.

Topics include:

• Dr. Brett Racine explains his philosophy on chiropractic: it’s not just for back or neck pain. Instead, he views it as a holistic “lifestyle success strategy” that can help our bodies and brains better cope with the stress of modern life

• Discussion around common misconceptions about chiropractic care, including what it can (and can’t) do for patients

• Dr. Brett breaks down what makes his practice unique, focusing on a “brain-based” approach and a heavy emphasis on patient education in four domains: nutrition, movement, mindset, and sleep

• Insights into cervicogenic headaches—headaches that originate in the neck—and why upper spine alignment is important for some headache sufferers

• Dr. Brett performs an adjustment on Adam, and Adam describes what it actually feels like, both with a handheld instrument and by hand, demystifying the process for newcomers

• Expectations and realities of a chiropractic care plan: how long you might need to commit, how much it might cost, and the importance of giving healing enough time

• Tips for finding a reputable chiropractor, navigating red flags, and the value of listening to your “gut feeling” when choosing a practitioner
