Bradley Kennedy

Chiropractor | NUCCA | Basic Certified Chiropractic Biophysics Practitioner

Dr. Bradley's approach to care with patients and families is highly individualized since every person has unique strengths, beliefs, and preferences. He collaborates with a network of integrative health providers.

Taking an integrated, holistic approach to health care, believing that you need to be treated as a whole person. Not just a symptom or part. Using a variety of hands-on techniques, stretches, and exercises to help you improve your function and feel better.

I just wish I had known then what I know now. I experienced a decade of unnecessary chronic pain, from an injury that happened slowly over time, doing my favorite activity: competitive swimming.

This ultimately guided my first career as a Registered Massage Therapist. While working in a NUCCA chiropractic clinic, one of the doctors offered to assess my chronic shoulder injury. At first, I was skeptical, but when he explained the mechanics of this technique, it made perfect sense. I had regular NUCCA adjustments, and within 6 weeks, I was pain-free. Moreover, I was so inspired and convinced from this personal experience, that I decided to pursue NUCCA chiropractic as my career. Being a curious and stubborn individual I haven't stopped learning and continue to add new techniques and experiences to my practice
