I've worked heavy construction since the 90's and have just dealt with the lower back pain. Just recently it turned into extreme pain and immobilization of my right hip. Dr. Kaitlyn took some X-rays, made a treatment plan and did my first adjustment. It's hard to express just how much better I felt. The pain and tightness were all but gone, the pinching comes and goes between visits still but a tiny fraction of what it was. Four visits in and I'm amazed! Thank you Dr Kaitlyn. The place is very nice looking and the professional, courteous staff are always going above and beyond for the clients. Luna the office pup is just icing on the Healing Hands cake.

I have a long history of back pain and I've seen a lot of chiropractors over the years. Dr…read more Carpenos is as good as it gets. What sets him apart from other doctors is that he TRULY cares about his patients and will do anything to get them healthy. I have crappy insurance that doesn't cover any part of my treatment, and he worked with me to devise a payment plan that I could afford. He didn't have to - but he did. I had a slipped disc in my back that was pinching a nerve. At my lowest point, I was in so much pain that I could not bear my own weight or walk. My only other option besides the spinal decompression treatments was disc replacement surgery (which would mean months of unpaid medical leave from my job and the inability to financially support myself). The therapy did take months, but I am now in little to no pain. (Think about it - if you break your arm, does it heal overnight? No, it takes time.) I've had back pain for more than 15 years and for the first time since my freshman year of high school I now know what it is like to live pain-free. Honestly, I am surprised to see negative reviews here. Dr. Carp's demeanor and personality are direct (but not uncompassionate) and I can see how some people may not respond well to that. But if you actually just spend 10 minutes talking with him, you realize how passionate he is about making HUGE differences in people's lives and well-being. He has saved my life in so many ways - my physical health, my mental health, my financial stability, my independence..... I could go on and on. He's a great guy and a great doctor.

I had a deeply disappointing and costly experience with Dr. Carpenos at New England Spine and Disc…read more I came in with leg pain caused by two degenerating discs pinching a nerve. During my initial visit, Dr. Carpenos recommended spinal decompression therapy -- a treatment not covered by insurance. He then started to talk to me like a snake oil salesman: fast and confusing. I explained that I had a very limited budget and needed clarity before committing. So I asked him to slow down and I asked some very specific questions about how the treatment wold work, what the success rate typically was, and what I could expect if I decided to follow the treatment plan. Instead of answering my questions calmly, he became visibly annoyed and said he felt "pressured" by me. I reminded him that it was MY body and my very limited, hard-earned money -- and I was the one feeling pressured to spend it without him having the patience to explain this therapy that insurance wouldn't even cover a significant portion of. His first response was to say that financial hardship shouldn't be a barrier to treatment. When I said I'd have to decline since I couldn't afford the full amount he wanted (Close to 4,000 as I recall) he suggested fewer visits for about half the price. , When I expressed concern and asked if I'd still get relief he assured me I would, so I agreed to take part in the treatment. But at the end of the treatment, I felt no improvement. When I reminded him of his earlier assurance, he said, "I expected that you'd feel a bit better, see the results, want more improvement, and then commit to the final visits." He'd completely ignored my statement at the beginning that there WAS no more money. I felt completely misled and taken advantage of. The experience was not only financially draining but physically uncomfortable. His chiropractic adjustments were rushed, and during one session, he failed to check the placement of my arms during a bear hug/anterior thoracic adjustment. When "hugged" me sharply my fists were jammed into my voice box which hurt so I reflexively pushed back. He asked what was wrong and I explained what had happened. The following week, he asked if my cold was better. When I looked at him, confused, he said "Well, last week you had a sore throat, didn't you?" [It was surreal, like he just was unable to take any responsibility for his own actions.] He also gave questionable medical advice outside his expertise -- once telling me not to use sunscreen despite a family history of skin cancer -- and another time I heard him telling his staff that he'd advised another patient to ignore their cancer doctor's recommendations and to follow his own. Dr. Carpenos' demeanor throughout my treatment was pushy, rude, and evasive when asked direct questions. His team failed to track the decompression machine's pressure settings, so I had to remember my own numbers to ensure proper progression -- a detail that made me feel my investment wasn't respected. If you read his responses to other negative reviews, you'll see a pattern: sarcasm, deflection, and a refusal to take responsibility. I strongly caution anyone considering treatment here. While some patients may find relief, many don't -- and Dr. Carpenos seems far more focused on securing payment than on assessing whether spinal decompression is truly appropriate for your condition.

Let me be the first to wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Robert Denes and his staff at the Chiropractic…read moreHealth Center of Hamden. I took a fall directly on to my coccyx on a cement floor at work in March that resulted in months of PT, visits to an orthopedic specialist and while things were improving, I was still suffering. As this injury was covered under workman's comp., I was at the mercy of their medical recommendations. I'm a teacher and stayed on a partial work schedule for the balance of the school year. On June 23rd, I was cleared to return to a normal work day in September with follow up as necessary. About 10 days later, I started to get an abnormally painful feeling that started in my buttock and traveled down the back of my leg. I was sure it was sciatica, which I had never suffered from before the fall. I called the workman's comp.insurance adjustor and she authorized a one time return to the orthopedic specialist. I saw him the next evening. He said he could treat me with steroids. I tend to believe that it makes more sense to treat the actual cause of the pain rather than masking it with medication. I went online and researched local chiropractors, acupuncturists and craniosacral practitioners. I had actually worked with another local chiropractor a few years back for another situation. He was a lovely man but I never felt relief so I stopped seeing him. After spending time looking at various web sites, I decided to give Dr. Denes' practice a call. He has a background in sports medicine and physical therapy and appeared to specialize in what was ailing me. The practice is on Whitney Avenue in a converted house. The staff was attentive, warm and professional. Dr. Denes is a nice guy with an easygoing personality. He listened to my situation and had me lie on my stomach for an adjustment. I IMMEDIATELY felt relief. Dr. Denes proceeded to explain to me that my tailbone had been displaced since the fall and he set it back into its proper position. He then told me that it was being out of alignment that had created pressure on my sciatic nerve, causing the inflammation and intense pain I was feeling. I'll spare you the rest of the details other than to say I have seen Dr. Denes every day since last Tuesday. The inflammation from the sciatic nerve has gone down tremendously and my back pain has all but disappeared. I'm walking straighter and stronger and feel better than I have in months. I've seen other chiropractors over the course of my life but NONE have come close to the results that I am having with Dr. Denes. The man is truly a gifted healer. With over 30 years of experience, he knows his stuff and I'm so grateful to have found him. I highly recommend him if you are experiencing any type neck/back issues. I'm looking forward to my appointment tomorrow!! Thank you Dr. Denes and your staff for helping me to feel so much better in such a short time!

We are using Active Release Technology and muscle stimulation. Dr. Connaughty is personable and explains things very well. The stim technician obviously knows her job as this is the first time I could feel the result of treatment. She got the right placement of the leads and the right intensity to start with.
