OUR TEAM
Do you want to support your body’s healing using gentle, natural chiropractic care and be the best you can be? At Stratford Chiropractic in Cairns, Dr Karen and Dr Kim provide personalised treatment plans, tools and guidance to help you heal your body and achieve optimum health.
Chiropractic recognises the body’s natural healing ability. By restoring appropriate nerve function to the body, we enable and restore function. Many patients present with an acute or chronic ache or pain. Our whole of body treatments assists with the recovery of these, while also addressing underlying issues that may not have become evident. The results speak for themselves. Many of our patients at Stratford Chiropractic report improved overall health after treatments.
Beyond pain, our Cairns Chiropractors can help you maintain or optimise your function and assist with preventing future injuries. An initial course of care will see most people out of their acute pain. Some of our patients choose to restore function over the longer term, with a longer corrective care plan of less frequent chiropractor Cairns visits. While others choose to make chiropractic part of their overall health and lifestyle, to maintain the functional gain they have achieved and to further optimise their function.
When you first come into the practice, our primary aim will be to get you out of pain as soon as possible. How long you choose to have chiropractic care is always up to you. Our chiropractors and their families are regularly adjusted as a lifestyle choice, at a variable frequency depending on what is happening in their lives.
At Stratford Chiropractic in Cairns, our chiropractors can help restore effective communication between the brain and nervous system, enabling your body to heal itself.
