Diane "Dee" KittleDiane “Dee” Kittle was 19 years old when she woke up unable to move her neck and was starting a new job the next day.  She contacted a chiropractor, had X-rays and her first adjustment that day, reporting to her new job fully functional. That was nearly 49 years ago and Dee has been in chiropractic care ever since!

“Chiropractic has been an ongoing part of my health care and critical to my overall well being. I suffered a significant injury to my lower back as a teenager and was told in my twenties that I would likely need surgery on my L4 and L5 vertebrae before I turned forty.”

Dee’s mother had extensive back surgery at forty that left her in a body brace for nearly a year, followed by years of recovery. After years of pain medication and unresolved issues, she agreed to see a chiropractor in her late fifties, which changed her life.

I was determined to care for my vertebrae, avoiding surgery at all costs.

Over the years, Dee has experienced acute issues, primarily with her neck and lower back.  The first 20 years of her career required lots of travel and hours sitting at a desk and on the phone. The past 17 years, Dee has owned a bakery, baking and decorating cakes, which results in a lot of repetitive motion, heavy lifting and standing for an average of 11-12 hours a day.

Each time she’s experienced subluxations, Dee has been treated and relieved of pain through chiropractic. Maintaining her spine through regular adjustments limits and prevents acute occurrences, until a recent car accident, which currently brings her to Dr. D three times weekly.

Dr. D became the first doctor I made as part of my wellness plan when I moved to Connecticut in 1999. His staff has always been caring, attentive and a pleasure to see, as is Dr. D himself. I know I’m in the best care with Dr. D and his team!

"Great experience! Our whole family goes and we have referred other family members. Dr. Wade is awesome, he listens and wants what is best for his clients."

"Being a fitness instructor and lifetime athlete, it is important that I keep my body healthy and moving. Pat DeFrancesco has been a huge help in this process. He is extremely knowledgeable, but more importantly he truly cares about my wellness & well being. He goes above and beyond & I feel lucky to have him on my wellness team. He leads by example in all areas of health & to me that is so important. Pat and team are top notch!"

The staff and doctors have been outstanding. They took some x-rays and ruled out certain things and put me on a plan of care that helped get me straight and pain free. I can't thank them enough."

"I strained my lower back a month prior to an Ironman race. I was unable to sleep, walk or sit, never mind continue training as planned. The entire office staff is beyond kind, caring, professional and runs extremely smooth. I was explained every step and procedure, along with a patient education class that really helped me understand what was wrong with my back and steps to fix it. Dr Wade was able to get me sleeping, walking and able to compete in my triathlon. 5 stars for many reasons and would highly recommend."

"I started my chiropractic journey a few weeks before having my 3rd baby. They were amazing, patient and gentle during the pregnancy. They weren't pushy when I took my time, post pregnancy, to come back. They were amazing with my schedule and did everything to work with me. I felt so comfortable with them that I brought my new born baby and my 3 year old in to get adjusted!"
