Our Story

Stratford Acupuncture & Wellness Center was founded in December of 2010. We recognize that your path to well being is as individual and as unique as you are and we are here to help. Chinese medicine has been practiced for well over 3000 years throughout the world, and more people are treated with it then western medicine.

Stratford Acupuncture and Wellness Center’s customized treatment plans are tailored to you and your specific healthcare needs and goals. The true beauty of Nutrition Response Testing, Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine is that they recognize that you are as profound and unique as the natural wonders of both the physical world and the universe that surrounds you.

Acupuncture Is Effectively Used in the Treatment of:

All types of pain, including nerve, muscular, and arthritic pain

Women’s health issues including nausea, fertility, menstrual issues, decreased libido, headaches (hormonal), and migraines

Pregnancy related nausea, pain and Postpartum Depression

Headaches, Migraines, and Cluster Headaches

Men’s health issues including prostrate issues, ED, and libido

Children’s health issues including anxiety, ADD/ADHD, bed wetting, and allergies

Neuropathy including Diabetic Foot Neuropathy & Pain, numbness, and tingling

Nausea associated with Chemotherapy

Mild Depression

Allergies

Weight loss

We also offer Nutrition Response Testing™. Traditional Western medicine typically treats the body’s parts, not the whole. That’s why there are so many medical specialties. By only treating the areas of the body that have an obvious symptom, Western medicine often misses the root cause and does a poor job treating many maladies. Nutrition Response Testing™ and the nutritional approach to treatment as practiced by Joe Downer (MSAC, L.Ac.) at Stratford Acupuncture and Wellness Center addresses the wholeness of the human body. This approach identifies and helps the body to correct the internal imbalances that are the cause of many medical conditions.

WHAT DOES NRT DO?

NRT examines the body’s system of organs, glands, and tissues. It is a deceptively simple procedure that detects energy flow blockages and biochemical imbalances caused by stresses on the system — immune system challenges, scars, heavy metal and chemical toxicities, environmental stress, food sensitivities, allergens, and more — the root causes of most of what we call illnesses.

If you want to treat causes instead of symptoms call us at 203-257-7550 to set up an appointment today!
