About Me
Hi. I’m Dr. Suzy Harris of Cedar Wood Chiropractic in Burlington, Vermont. I am a chiropractic physician specializing in Chiropractic, Applied Kinesiology and Nutrition Response Testing.
I pursued this career to provide a powerful health-care alternative to people with difficult-to-treat conditions and to people who are still suffering from common ailments because traditional medicine is not working. It is my philosophy that the body has the powerful ability to heal itself with proper support. This is why I encourage my patients to take an active role in their health-care.
Since I opened my business I have been promoting a healthy lifestyle by offering community workshops to both my patients and the general public. If you’re interested in my next workshop, visit my Workshops page on this blog. If you’d like to just chat about how I can help you live a healthier lifestyle, feel free to contact me at 802.863.5828 or visit us on-line at Cedar Wood Chiropractic.
I hope you enjoy my blog!
Be Well!
Dr. Suzy

Reasons two and three together lead to an increase in the curve of your thoracic and lumbar spine, stress your sacroiliac joints, and fatigue your spinal and pelvic muscles more quickly. This imbalance and especially sacral subluxation according to Dr. Larry Webster the founder of the ICPA (International Chiropractic Pediatric Association) can be a cause of dystocia, or difficult labor.
What can the Webster Technique do for you? The Webster Technique is designed to address these sacral and SI joint dysfunctions and restoring neurobiomechanical function of the pelvis and spine. By addressing the stresses caused by pregnancy, we can…

Well Hello Again Cedar Wood Friends!
Just a quick post this time to introduce you to Judith Decava, C.N.C., L.N.C.

Here are a couple of links that can expose you to some of Judith’s writings and other health related topics to keep you and your family in the know for staying well (smart and sane too!).
