 All About Diamando!

Diamando Stratakos


Hello everybody, my name is Diamando Stratakos, and I'm the new face at the Spinal Wellness Center. I'm very excited to meet all of you and wanted to tell you a little bit about myself.  I was born and raised in Ithaca NY and have lived here my entire life.  I love the area and the diversity of people, and it's always felt like a great place to be.  My mother and father moved to the United States from Greece after they were married. I have grown up in America with the classic Greek traditions passed down from generations before me.
 
A lot of Greek culture is rooted in health and medicine and so I have grown up with a deep understanding and passion for it.  I have always believed in maintaining a healthy lifestyle by means of physical fitness, nutrition, medicine and by living a happy lifestyle.  These beliefs have followed me through my life and into college. I recently graduated from Ithaca college with a bachelors in Health Science concentrating in nutrition.  I have participated in sports my entire life, particularly soccer and track&field.  Although I will be missing competing on the track and field team at Ithaca College this year, I look forward to running on my own and playing on club soccer teams.  I have maintained happy and strong relationships with my family and friends that I love spending time with. Other hobbies of mine include cooking and eating lots of different foods, spending time with my large dog Bella, and playing with my new kitten!
 
I'm very excited to get to learn about a whole new way of health care that I have not yet experienced.  I'm very much interested in learning and working with the great staff and practice members that I have already met here at the Spinal Wellness Center.

Michael Pollack

1. When I first came to the Spinal Wellness Center, I had the following health concerns:

I had severe staggering. I couldn't stand still. I was starting to get loose bowels and had severe spinal restriction.

2. Since receiving care at this office, I have noticed the following changes in my health:

I am staggering less. At times I can walk pretty straight for quite a distance. The calves of my legs used to have an odd/cold feeling. I no longer have it. My bowels are becoming more normal. I can stand and balance better - almost - there is much less movement.

3. While under care at this office, I have also noticed the following changes in my quality of life and/or my ability to function and perform:

As above - all has improved, even my mental attitude. I now have hope, which I did not have before coming here. I have come farther than I ever thought possible!

Dr. Pierre teaches in Nashville

The weekend of October 11-12, my son Marcel and I, went to Nashville TN to assist in teaching an ABC™ seminar. There were doctors attending from Missouri, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Virginia, North Carolina, and of course, Tennessee. Most of them had had previous exposure to ABC™, and were there to receive hands-on instruction, some were "old hands", there to receive a tune-up to their clinical skills, but for a few doctors, this was their initial exposure to a technique and a
phenomenon that they had only heard about.
 
It was great group of men (and two women) who exhibited that famed Southern warmth and easiness, (even after receiving their inaugural meningeal release!!) Perhaps the highlight of the trip for me was meeting a couple of ABC™ docs who regularly treat some of Nashville's famous musicians and pro athletes.  Wonderful human beings, and if any of you need an ABC™ practitioner near Nashville, I certainly know whom to send you to.

October Core-Strengthening Class

Thursday October 22nd ;  11 AM to 12:15 PM.


Learn an amazing ab/core strengthening program in a small group setting.  Previous attendees have raved about it.

"These seven exercises are absolutely wonderful: energizing, gentle and individual. I've been using them every morning and my chiropractic care has hugely benefited as well as my daily routine." Kate, age 26.

"The exercises I learned at Dr. Pierre's core strengthening class have been increasing my progress in chiropractic care. I feel more energized and stronger each day. My breathing is easier and deeper. After the 7 moves my head is clear and ready for the day." MJ, age 50. 

If you spend 5 to 15 minutes a day doing these fun exercises, you can completely transform how you feel and function for the rest of your life.

In 30 years of looking, this is the best and most fun way to improve your core strength. This class is for anyone who wants to:
  • eliminate most forms of residual back pain.
  • speed up and enhance the transformation of their spine via the ABC unwinding process.
  • Greatly enhance their body's FUNCTIONAL strength for any type of activity.
  • Look and feel like a million bucks!
To sign up for this 70-minute class, please CALL the office at 277-2570. The cost for these small classes, where I make sure you "get it" is $20.
