About Our Office

Specific Chiropractic Health Center is a holistic health center that has been helping Stamford-area residents since 1995. In January of 2010, we moved our location from Stamford to Norwalk. Our approach to helping people regain or maintain their health is simple - we develop a comprehensive plan that first assesses the individual's relationship between their nervous system, muscular system and skeletal system. Most times, new patients presenting to our office have some imbalance between these three systems. While a specific injury or accident can sometimes account for this imbalance, more times than not, the chronic positions and habits that people assume throughout the day and night are causing more problems than people realize. How we position ourselves at work, at home, in the car, and in bed sleeping can significantly contribute to the chronic conditions people have. Education is key in understanding how these positions are affecting someone's health and wellness, and how developing good lifetime habits will enable you to experience life in the fullest.

About the Doctors

"Dr. Laura"

Dr. Laura Pardue, a 1993 graduate from Life Chiropractic College in Marietta, GA (now Life University), has largely established a family practice with an emphasis on common childhood conditions and illnesses. Her approach in dealing with these types of conditions is to first educate the parents about the correlation between these conditions and the nervous system, which regulates every function of the body. Dr. Laura places great emphasis on educating the parents about theses various conditions so that the parents can make decisions based on information and knowledge instead of fear and ignorance. She has helped many children restore their health without the use of drugs or antibiotics. Additionally, Dr. Laura cares for adults as well, using a variety of specific, gentle adjustments that are greatly embraced by those patients that have an apprehension towards traditional chiropractic adjustments.

"Dr. Tom"

Dr. Tom Woodman is a 2005 graduate from Life Chiropractic College West in Hayward, CA. Being a competitive athlete, Dr. Tom understands the benefit that chiropractic can offer those people with a similar mindset. Athletes tend to push themselves hard - years of pushing the body this hard can take its toll. While most people associate these aches and pains as part of getting old, Dr. Tom, using a form of Active Release Technique (deep tissue muscle work to adhesions that form within the muscles themselves), finds it very rewarding in helping these people feel younger and push themselves even harder. His approach is first determine if these aches and pains are the actual problem, or merely the end of the body's ability to compensate for problem elsewhere. Once this is determined, a comprehensive approach to restoring balance is used to solve each patient's individual problem.

Dr. Laura and Dr. Tom also help the general population as well. Many of the common muscular and spinal conditions that people experience can be helped through chiropractic adjustments and soft tissue stretching and deep tissue massage. Be it neck pain, back pain, headaches, pain down the arms or legs, or any other physical condition, most of patients are amazed at how much better they can feel and are grateful to have found our office.
