Functional Muscle Testing
A Deeper Look Into Your Health
Functional Muscle Testing is a non-invasive assessment technique that identifies imbalances, dysfunction, and stress within the body by evaluating muscle response. Since the body functions as an interconnected whole, disruptions in nervous system signaling can weaken muscle reflexes, indicating areas of concern. By applying gentle pressure to specific acupuncture points, this method detects energy blockages, biochemical imbalances, and organ dysfunction, allowing for a targeted, personalized approach to restoring optimal health.
Key Benefits
This safe, painless technique helps uncover hidden health concerns before they become chronic issues. It supports digestive health, hormone balance, immune function, and overall wellness by providing valuable insights that guide customized treatment plans. Functional Muscle Testing empowers patients with early intervention and a proactive approach to long-term health.
Battlefield Acupuncture
Rapid Pain Relief Through Precision Treatment
Battlefield Acupuncture is a non-invasive, highly effective technique designed to provide rapid pain relief by stimulating specific points in the ear. Using tiny, hair-thin needles, this treatment encourages the release of endorphins, helping to reduce pain intensity, support recovery, and enhance overall well-being. The semi-permanent needles remain in place for a few days, allowing for ongoing pain relief without the need for continuous treatment.
Key Benefits
Battlefield Acupuncture is particularly beneficial for acute and chronic pain conditions, including musculoskeletal injuries, post-operative pain, and headaches. Patients often experience a significant reduction in discomfort, improved mobility, and a faster recovery process. After a thorough assessment of your condition, the tiny, strategically placed needles are gently inserted, ensuring a comfortable and effective experience. While many patients find immediate relief, multiple sessions may be recommended for long-lasting, optimal results.
Fertility Services
Comprehensive Support for Conception, Pregnancy & Birth
Fertility is a complex process that depends on the balance of hormones, circulation, and overall reproductive health. At Stratford Acupuncture & Wellness Center, we take an integrative approach to fertility, using acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine to support natural conception, enhance reproductive function, and relieve stress for both partners. Whether you're trying to conceive naturally, undergoing IUI or embryo transfer, or seeking labor induction or breech presentation support, acupuncture can play a valuable role in your journey.
Key Benefits
Acupuncture for fertility helps regulate ovulation, improve uterine lining, and support implantation, increasing the likelihood of conception. It also promotes healthy blood flow to the reproductive organs, supports hormonal balance, and enhances male fertility by improving sperm quality and motility. Beyond physical benefits, it provides emotional support, helping to reduce stress, improve sleep, and promote overall well-being during the fertility journey.
Neuropathy
Restoring Nerve Health and Function
Neuropathy occurs when nerve damage disrupts communication between the brain and body, causing numbness, tingling, pain, and circulation issues. It can result from injury, metabolic disorders, infections, or toxin exposure, making treatment complex. We take a holistic approach using acupuncture and red light therapy to stimulate nerve function, improve circulation, and reduce pain naturally. Acupuncture triggers endorphin release for pain relief and nerve regeneration, while Bedrock Bioscience Red Light Therapy penetrates deep into tissues to enhance circulation and support cellular repair—all without pharmaceuticals.
Key Benefits
Acupuncture and red light therapy work together to stimulate nerve repair, improve circulation, and reduce inflammation, addressing neuropathy at its root. These treatments have been especially effective for diabetic neuropathy, chemo-induced neuropathy, foot and hand neuropathy, and nerve damage caused by toxin exposure, such as Agent Orange. By restoring proper nerve communication and function, our therapies provide long-term relief and improved mobility for those suffering from this condition.
Cold Laser Therapy
Non-Invasive Relief for Pain and Healing
Cold laser therapy is a pain-free, non-invasive treatment designed to reduce pain, accelerate healing, and improve overall function. This advanced therapy uses low-level light energy to penetrate deep into tissues, stimulating cellular repair, reducing inflammation, and enhancing circulation.
Key Benefits
Cold laser therapy provides effective relief for stubborn pain, injuries, and autoimmune conditions by promoting tissue regeneration and reducing inflammation without the use of heat or discomfort. This gentle yet powerful treatment supports faster recovery, improved mobility, and long-term healing, making it an excellent option for those seeking a safe, non-invasive solution to pain management.
Shockwave Therapy
Accelerate Healing and Relieve Pain
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive, highly effective treatment for chronic musculoskeletal pain and injuries. By delivering high-energy sound waves to the affected area, this advanced therapy stimulates the body’s natural healing response, promoting tissue regeneration, reducing inflammation, and improving circulation for long-term relief.
Key Benefits
Shockwave therapy helps reduce pain, restore mobility, and accelerate recovery by addressing the root cause of discomfort rather than masking symptoms. It enhances circulation and collagen production, supporting faster tissue repair and improved function. Since this treatment is non-invasive and requires no downtime, it offers a convenient and practical solution for those looking to heal quickly and effectively.
Red Light Therapy
Restoring Health at the Cellular Level
Red light therapy is a non-invasive treatment that stimulates cellular function to enhance skin health, reduce pain, and promote healing. Also known as photobiomodulation (PBM) or low-level light therapy (LLLT), it is clinically backed and recognized for reducing inflammation, improving circulation, and accelerating tissue repair.
At Stratford Acupuncture & Wellness Center, we use Celluma Pro Elite Low-Level LED Light Therapy to deliver safe and effective results. This technology, influenced by NASA research, is widely used in both medical and cosmetic fields.
Key Benefits
Red light therapy boosts collagen production, helping to reduce wrinkles, acne, and signs of aging while improving skin tone and texture. It supports muscle recovery, joint health, and circulation, making it ideal for pain relief and inflammation reduction. This gentle, painless treatment is safe for all skin types, requires no downtime, and provides fast, visible results for overall wellness.
Functional Nutrition
Personalized Health from the Inside Out
Functional nutrition is a holistic, science-based approach that focuses on treating the root cause of health concerns rather than just managing symptoms. By addressing nutrition, lifestyle, and individual biology, this method enhances your body’s natural healing ability for improved overall wellness. At Stratford Acupuncture & Wellness Center, we create personalized nutrition plans tailored to your unique environment, genetics, and health goals—whether you're managing chronic conditions, optimizing your diet, or striving for better balance, functional nutrition provides the guidance and support for lasting results.
Key Benefits
Functional nutrition helps improve energy levels, reduce the need for medications, and lower the risk of chronic disease. By supporting hormonal balance, digestive health, and inflammation reduction, it can help manage conditions such as autoimmune disorders, thyroid imbalances, high blood pressure, and metabolic concerns. Beyond symptom relief, this approach empowers you to make sustainable changes for long-term health and vitality.

At Stratford Acupuncture & Wellness Center, we offer advanced lab testing through partnerships with Reveal My DNA, KBMO FIT Tests, THEIA Health, and more to uncover the root causes of health concerns. From genetic health and food sensitivities to gut health, metabolic function, and mineral balance, these tests provide valuable insights into your body’s biochemistry, immune responses, and nutritional needs.
Key Benefits

Heart Sound Recorder
A Window Into Your Heart Health
The Heart Sound Recorder (HSR) is a non-invasive wellness tool that analyzes heart sounds to assess overall cardiovascular function. By capturing subtle changes in heart rate, rhythm, and tone, this advanced technology helps identify hidden imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, and nervous system stressors that may impact heart health and overall well-being. Unlike an electrocardiogram (EKG), which detects electrical impulses, the HSR provides a visual representation of heart function, measuring the strength, efficiency, and response of each heartbeat to nutritional, chemical, and emotional factors. This allows for a proactive approach to cardiovascular wellness, incorporating dietary adjustments, lifestyle changes, and targeted supplementation to support long-term heart health.
Key Benefits
The Heart Sound Recorder helps uncover early signs of imbalance, allowing for a personalized plan to support heart function and overall health. It provides valuable insights into heart rate efficiency, rhythm consistency, and muscle tone strength, while also assessing autonomic nervous system balance and blood circulation. By analyzing these factors, we can recommend individualized nutrition plans, supplements, and lifestyle adjustments to optimize heart health and long-term wellness.
