Advanced Non-Surgical Pain Treatment · Shelton, Connecticut
Technology-first care for stubborn back, neck, disc, nerve and joint pain — built around your condition instead of a one-size-fits-all treatment plan.
Pain treatment has changed
Patients today have more conservative options than ever before. The challenge is figuring out which one — if any — actually fits the problem in front of you.
At Connecticut Disc & Laser Therapy Centers, the evaluation comes first. Then we decide whether decompression, laser, electromagnetic therapy, chiropractic care, or a combination makes sense for your condition.
Our technology
We carefully selected technologies for disc-related pain, nerve symptoms, joint problems and soft-tissue conditions. They are not interchangeable — and not every patient needs all of them.
Controlled non-surgical decompression designed for selected patients with disc-related back or neck pain, sciatica and radiating symptoms.
Explore Spinal Decompression ›Non-invasive therapeutic light energy used in selected musculoskeletal treatment plans for painful joints, muscles, nerves, tendons and soft tissues.
Explore MLS Laser Therapy ›High Energy Inductive Therapy uses electromagnetic stimulation without mechanical impact and may be incorporated when muscle function, movement or nerve-related symptoms are part of the picture.
Explore EmField Pro ›Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy may be included in selected musculoskeletal treatment plans and paired with other technologies when appropriate.
Explore Pulse PEMF ›The technology is only part of it
What is actually driving your pain? That question matters more than simply choosing a machine, an injection, an adjustment or a procedure.

We start with your history, symptoms, previous care, limitations and what you want to be able to do again.
