About Us
Do you or a loved one suffer from chronic aches and pains? Have you been dealing with pain that just won’t seem to go away no matter how much Tylenol or Ibuprofen you take?
Active Health & Pain Relief Center is Connecticut’s premier clinic for fast, safe and natural pain relief. At Active Health & Pain Relief Center we use multiple treatment methods or “Functional Integrated therapy” (F.I.T.) to help you feel better fast, and stay that way. Whether you are an elite athlete in training or suffer from chronic aches and pains we will help you feel better.
“I never did anything it just started hurting?”
Does this sound like you? Do you suffer from a nagging injury that keeps you from doing the activities you love?
Active Health and Pain Relief Center can help free you of your pain and restore normal function.
We specialize in the treatment of musculoskeletal (muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints) pain and dysfunction. We treat the source of the dysfunction that is causing your pain to provide a quick and more permanent resolution of your discomfort or pain. Our ability to combine different therapies sets us apart from other offices and clinics. We treat injuries head to toe, not just neck or back pain. We use several integrated therapies that have a powerful effect on relieving pain safely and naturally. Home exercise and stretches are typically given for you to do at home to make the treatment process faster and longer lasting.
What is Functional Integrated Therapy?
Active Health & Pain Relief Center utilizes a method of treating sports related injuries called Functional Integrated Therapy. Functional Integrated Therapy or “F.I.T.” has often been called the “best kept secret in sports injuries” due to its ability to diagnose and achieve results in difficult cases.
Athletes from the national Hockey League, National Football League, National Basketball Association and Major League Baseball, as well as track and field’s elite athletes, turn to F.I.T. for relief.
The therapy works under the philosophy that the proper function of the body’s joints, soft tissue and nervous system are essential to speed up recovery from sports related injuries. Restoring this proper function improves performance.
What to Expect From Our Treatment
When a new patient or athlete comes to Active Health & Pain Relief Center, electro-acupuncture may be used to treat the nervous system; soft tissue techniques including Active Release Techniques (ART) may be used to treat the soft tissue dysfunction and joint manipulation (Chiropractic Care) is employed to normalize joint mechanics. We customize our approach based on the specific needs of each individual and treat accordingly.
The evaluation addresses everything in a functional manner. The muscles that are being used and the activity the person is performing are both taken into account.


Thank you Dr. Mike for all your help! I am sorry I am not able to keep up with your treatment plan at the moment. I was seeing another chiropractor, and signed a contract with him and I can't get out of it. I just wanted to let you know that you helped me more in 2 visits than he did in 4 months. Take care, see you at the gym!
