Even one migraine is one too many. Unfortunately, over-the-counter painkillers often aren’t strong enough to dull the pain. Prescription pain medication may be more helpful, but these drugs can cause unpleasant side effects. If you’re struggling to manage your migraines, chiropractic treatment could ease your pain and reduce the number of days you experience migraine pain.
Treating Migraines with Chiropractic
Migraines cause 113 million lost work days every year, according to the American Headache Association. If you have migraines, that statistic probably doesn’t seem surprising. After all, it’s hard to do your job when your head throbs and you feel dizzy and nauseated.

Rocky Neck Art Colony (RNAC) proudly presents GENERATIONS at Cove Gallery (37 Rocky Neck Avenue), showcasing the work of Chris Barensfeld, Jeffrey Marshall, Vanessa Michalak, Ruth Mordecai, all Cape Ann artists from different generations who continue the legacy of painting on Cape Ann.





Art making is often a solitary process. Having a community such as exists on Cape Ann is especially important for the growth of creativity. The strength of that community is exemplified in the relationships between artists who exist across generations, where dialogues cross boundaries, and artists focus on commonalities of process regardless of age. These artists have found these commonalities, recognizing in each other a similar spark.
This exhibition will explore how Cape Ann functions like an ecosystem: continually bringing in new life and experience that revitalizes the creative community. Each of these artists represents a different stage of this cycle.
The public is invited to celebrate the creativity of the artists at the Opening Reception on Thursday, June 22, from 4-7 PM. The artists will discuss their work on Thursday, July 13 from 6-7 PM.
Exhibiting Artists:
Chris Barensfeld, Jeffrey Marshall, Vanessa Michalak, Ruth Mordecai
