About
We have experience treating many patients with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome through a multi-modal, gentle, and tailored approach. Therapies may include: Acupuncture : For pain reduction and stress management. Low‑force, precision adjustments : Dr Stagg avoids aggressive manipulations in favor of gentle techniques customized to the patient’s hypermobile joints. Soft tissue & myofascial work: Targeted to reduce muscular tension, improve stability, and relieve pain. Exercise & strengthening guidance: Emphasis on safe, controlled muscle activation—especially core stability—to support joints and posture.
EDS Healthcare in Connecticut
The Spine and Pain Institute at Midstate in Meriden and High Quality Home Therapy in Stamford are both EDS Society Centers of Excellence. The Connecticut Center for CranioSacral Therapy in New Milford is an EDS Society Network of Excellence. This density of recognized programs is remarkable for a state of Connecticut's size.
Connecticut's compact geography means most patients are within an hour's drive of an EDS Society recognized program. The main challenges are wait times for initial appointments and finding providers within specific insurance networks. Proximity to New York City programs provides additional options for patients in southwestern Connecticut.
Finding Chiropractic for EDS
Confirm the chiropractor uses gentle, low-force techniques like Activator or flexion-distraction rather than high-velocity adjustments, which can injure hypermobile joints.
