Dr. Sarah MacArthur

Little Black Dress party got me feeling like my feminine and strong self 💃🏻💪🏼

So excited to see these team photos 😊

We are excited to see the results after our entire awesome team was captured today! Thanks Nataal!

Kids need Chiropractic care too! Things are constantly shifting and changing in their bodies so getting their spine and nervous system assessed is always a good idea 😊

Whoa March Break is flying by so fast!

This is a great time to get your kiddos in for a spinal check-up if it’s been more than a few months/years!

All of the Chiropractors in our office can see school-aged children for a general check-up and adjustment!

Their little bodies go through a lot of different stressors too - like spinal changes with growth, sports, falls, desk work, tech time, poor posture, emotional stress and more!

Contact us to schedule your child’s next visit for optimal spinal health!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone! Just a reminder that the office is closed from Dec 24th to Jan 2nd. Looking forward to seeing everyone again in 2022 😊✨

Merry Christmas from Dr Sarah!

Just try to keep in mind that moderation is key 😊This means balancing an increase in carbs WITH an increase in vegetables

Are you feeling the carb overload yet? 🍪

The holidays are often synonymous with extra sweets, treats, and SUGAR. From fancy indulgent coffee drinks, to Christmas baking, cookies, gatherings, and cocktails- the extra sugar intake is certainly quite real for most. We all know this can be a battle to resist! 😜

There is one big thing you can do to help counter the increase in sugar over the holidays - increase your veggie intake! 🥦🥗🍆🌶🍅

Try and get a variety of colourful vegetables, especially the dark green ones, on a daily basis. Veggies boost your vitamin levels and they contain antioxidants, which help to regulate the inflammatory effect of sugar. Veggies also help to reduce blood pressure, heart disease, and regulate blood sugar levels.

Quick tip! Keep a clear glass or plastic container filled with various chopped veggies in your fridge - easy to see and grab as a snack!

These are some of our faves!
🥕carrots
🥦 broccoli
🥕 celery
🥦 cauliflower
🥕snap peas
🥦 cherry tomatoes
🥕radishes

Add a side of yummy dip - like hummus or baba ganouch and you’re good to go!

If you are able to do so please consider donating to our annual PJ Drive this holiday season 😊

It’s that time of year again!

We are proud to help support Stratford House of Blessing with our annual PJ drive ❤️

Option A - Bring in a new PJ set for ages 0-16 and set it under our tree 🎄

Option B - Purchase a PJ that we have in-office for $15 and set it under the tree!🎄

Thank you for your support!
Please share and spread the word! ❄️

Leg Length Check 🦵✔️ 🌟

Why do our Chiropractors do this when we assess your spine?

To explain it simply, think about tone and tension. If a guitar string is tightened at the top, the tension is transmitted all down the string, and you can pluck that string at the base and hear the tone.

Similarly, when we check the tension and tone in your feet, and your leg length, we can asses how well balanced your pelvis is. Any rotation, twisting, muscle tension etc in your pelvis and up your spine can be initially be assessed in your legs. In fact, even the tone of your upper spine and neck can be initially assessed with a leg check.

Mind you, some people have one leg that is anatomically shorter than the other. This is commonly due to previous ankle, knee, hip injuries or surgeries, or even from birth.

We take this into account when checking leg length!

For us Chiros, it’s often the first check of the tone of your nervous system and the tone of your spine!

If you have any questions, ask them below! ⬇️

Really happy our office is doing this! Together we can make a better Canada

As a team, we’ve decided to to support indigenous communities.

The phrase was coined by Gord Downie (of our all time favourite band The Tragically Hip) when he asked our nation to look north and “do something”.

Gord’s legacy lives on with the Downie Wenjack Fund. The fund embodies his commitment, and that of both the Downie and Wenjack families, to call Canadians to learning and action in solidarity with Indigenous peoples. The goals of the fund are to continue the conversation that began with Chanie Wenjack’s residential school story and to support the reconciliation process through awareness, education, and action.

Will you join us? We are accepting donations starting TODAY for the month of July.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms, soon to be moms, and motherly figures! We appreciate you 😃

Wishing all of the moms in our SCWC community a wonderful Mother’s Day this weekend!

We see all of the sacrifices you make for your children, all the love you pour into them, and all you do to keep them going every single day!!

You. Are. Amazing. WOW!!

Happy Mother’s Day 💚

I am so grateful I had the opportunity to locum at Stratford Chiropractic & Wellness Centre and that it turned into a full time job for me!! The universe always brings us exactly what we need when we need it. So much love for this team and excited to grow in all aspects of my life as a Chiropractor and personally 💚💚💚

Today’s team spotlight is on Dr Sarah MacArthur! 🌟

Dr Sarah is the newest member of our team of four Chiropractors. She grew up in Owen Sound, and then moved on to Guelph University to complete her Honours Bachelor of Science degree. She was inspired by her Chiropractor at home to pursue the career, and she studied in California at Life West Chiropractic College, one the most prestigious schools in the country! 💙

She practiced for a year in Boulder, Colorado before returning to Ontario. Since then, she has worked as a locum in various Chiropractic offices, and has gained a ton of experience! 👐

We met Dr Sarah in June 2020 when she worked in our office to help cover for Dr Mike after his shoulder surgery. As fate would have it, an opening for a permanent position in our office came up in November and she’s been with us ever since! The universe works in amazing ways and we are so grateful to have Dr Sarah on our team! 🌟🌟🌟

Dr Sarah is now available Mon / Wed / Fri afternoons and Tues / Thurs mornings ⏰

Dr Sarah is kind, gentle, and super passionate about helping others with her hands and her heart ❤️. She loves hiking, reading, and is an avid rugby player and fan! 🏉

Welcome Dr Sarah and we are happy you chose us!

Movement is life! What are you doing on this unseasonably warm day?

Did you know...

Our BRAIN 🧠 function is actually driven by the MOVEMENT of our spines?! ⚡️

What kind of movement are you doing to improve your brain function?

🌟walk , jog , run
🌟yoga
🌟workout your full body
🌟squats
🌟burpees
🌟dance
🌟play with your kids
🌟sports
🌟🌟🌟chiropractic!

Often we look for the “quick fix” but the truth is that simply does not exist for your health and well being. More realistically health is a journey and not a destination. It is a process that requires time.

Chiropractic care is all about optimizing FUNCTION. Function of your spine. Function of your brain-body communication. Function of your posture and mobility. Function of your nervous system.
With optimal function comes improved healing. ❤️

Life is just better with a healthy spine! 🌟

All are great ways of de-stressing and can be part of a great self care routine

In these challenging times of the pandemic, remember to take care of YOU. Yes our dogs need walks outdoors, but so do humans 😊💚🌍

Hi 🤚🏼 If you’re new here welcome! If you’ve been here for a while let me update you on a few things 😊

My name is Dr. Sarah MacArthur and I am a family chiropractor new to the Stratford area. I meet people where they are at in their health journey and take them to a higher level of function and wellness through their nervous system 🧠

I stand for equality in healthcare and a world where people thrive in all aspects of life and not merely survive. We all have the capacity to heal.

Some quick facts about me:

I value inclusivity and creating a safe space for ALL (especially the LGBTQ2SIA+ community)

I’m super passionate about chiropractic and truly believe it is my calling and what I was put on this earth to do

I love rugby! More into watching it right now but I haven’t given up on the possibility of playing again one day

I enjoy running, hiking, coffee, and craft brews

I’ve lived in California and Colorado and both were incredible experiences. I’m also really happy to be back in beautiful Ontario

Welcome to my community!

Love this team 😊

Oh hello there! 😊
It’s a rare moment to capture our ENTIRE team in one spot at the same! But certainly not a rarity to see us having fun! 🌟

At SCWC, providing great service, with a side of smiles, laughter, and good vibes is what we’re all about. Now who could use more good vibes these days?? 🙋‍♀️🙋🙋🏼‍♂️

I’ve been having a lot of conversations lately about this mind body connection.

More specifically how stress affects your physical body.

Chronic high stress affects your central nervous system and can lead to conditions such as headaches, anxiety, hypertension, and depression to name a few.

People who are under regular chiropractic care often report less physical pain as well as improved sleep, decreased anxiety, fewer headaches, and lower blood pressure.

If you would like to have your nervous system assessed to see how chiropractic care can help you manage your stress better send me a message!

One of my favourite quotes! I believe that every person has the ability to THRIVE in life and health, not merely survive. Chiropractic care helps you achieve your health goals and ultimately live a better quality life. If you are interested in finding out how chiropractic care can help you send me a DM.
