What is chiropractic and how does it benefit you?
The nervous system which includes the brain, spinal cord and a network of nerves controls all communication within your body. Disruption of this communication system limits your natural healing ability and can lead to a variety of symptoms and to poor health. Chiropractic adjustments restore communication within your body improving your body’s overall function. With regular chiropractic care you will notice reduced stress and tension, and increased flexibility and energy allowing you to reach your fullest potential in life. Start your chiropractic care now!

At Stratford Chiropractic & Wellness Centre our three doctors, Dr. Mike , Dr. Tanya and Dr. Pip use chiropractic adjustments to correct spinal imbalances. A chiropractic adjustment is a hands-on procedure that stimulates the spine and nervous system to encourage healing in the area. Adjustments release tension from the system, reduce stress and improve communication between the nervous system and the rest of the body. We use mainly hands-on techniques, as well as the use of drop-table assisted adjustments and instrument-assisted adjustments depending on patient need. We are trained in, and practice a variety of adjustment techniques (FAQs). These different techniques allow us to effectively address a broad range of health concerns. Adjustments are comfortable and safe. In fact, they are safer than other medical procedures such as surgery and medications. Dr. Mike, Dr. Tanya and Dr. Pip strive to ensure that their patients are comfortable and at ease during their adjustments. After an adjustment, most people notice an immediate sense of well-being, reduced stress and tension and increased energy and flexibility. Experience the benefits of chiropractic care now!

Newborn adjustments require only gentle fingertip pressure, and most newborns and infants will sleep through their adjustment. Chiropractic care can help prevent or reduce the effects of common infant ailments such as ear infections, colic, constipation and problems with breastfeeding to name a few. Most importantly, proper nerve function and communication improves your baby’s ability to grow and develop in an optimal way. 
With young children, we call their adjustments their “wiggles” and they enjoy the sensation of their spine moving in a positive way. Children love our fun adjustment tables that are just their size and you will love the positive changes in health your child will experience. Chiropractic care can help your child with health concerns such as headaches, chronic colds and infections, hyperactivity, ADHD, bedwetting, constipation and irritability. Children who are involved in sports benefit greatly with chiropractic care, with improved strength, flexibility, performance, and injury recovery. Chiropractic care helps to ensure balance within your child’s continuously changing body.
Throughout pregnancy, a women’s spine is constantly changing and accommodating to the change in the shape of her growing belly. These changes can lead to various discomforts. Chiropractic is a wonderful and safe way to create balance and ease tension in the spinal joints during this stage, while allowing optimal communication between the mother’s nervous system and the developing fetus. Research has shown that chiropractic care helps to reduce labour pain and reduce labour time due to a properly balanced pelvis and spine. Adjustments are performed using a specialized pregnancy pillow which safely supports the growing belly.
