Bristol, CT Drs and Health Practioners

The team at Wilton Dental Associates believes that there’s no reason a person can’t smile with their natural teeth for their entire lifetime. Dr. Van Strait and his associates back up this optimistic viewpoint with an agreement that, if the patient follows a preventative program—offered alongside modern restorative and cosmetic techniques—the practice will back all of their services with a written guarantee.

Wilton Dental Associates' two offices both resemble comfortable family homes from the outside. Inside, they're full of leather furniture in cheery hues and awash in natural light. Dental technicians have plenty of other tricks up their sleeves to make patients comfortable: the innovative DentalVibe injection-comfort system gently stimulates the nerves at the injection site to close the pain gate so that anesthesia glides in with as little notice as a middle child’s birthday.

Doctor of Chiropractic Jennifer Lynne and her staff help clients to achieve wellness by using alternative methods to reduce the risk of pain and illness. Dr. Lynne prioritizes her chiropractic sessions by first treating any immediate pain, then offering corrective care with spinal adjustments, and finally developing wellness plans that may prevent problems in the future. In private treatment rooms, the staff also soothes muscles with massage therapy, brings bodies into balance with acupuncture, and helps to restore patients' movement with physical therapy.

The clinic is nestled up against a charming gift boutique. Once visitors finish their appointments with Dr. Lynne or a therapist, they can browse through the boutique's selection of quirky decorations, handbags, scented candles, and motivational plaques written by happy backs.

Knowledge and techniques from medical traditions ranging from east to west—including Ayurvedic, traditional Chinese, modern, and naturopathic medicine—come together at Integrated Health Center. Dr. K. Pramila Vishvanath, N.D., active in her communities both stateside and overseas, directs the center. Dr. Pram and her staff target the entire body as opposed to individual symptoms, embracing naturopathic medicine to address conditions such as chronic pain, weight loss, and allergies. Integrated Health Center combines analysis with uniquely tailored solutions for each patient, and the staff conducts healing sessions via Skype if a patient's car catches a case of agoraphobia.

Doctor of chiropractic Mark Pomerantz combines nutritional counseling with traditional chiropractic care. Grounded in more than two decades of experience, Dr. Pomerantz treats muscle pain, headaches, and digestive issues. He specializes in a practice called nutritional-response testing. Through touching acupressure points and administering reflex tests around the body, he studies the body's organ function. He identifies areas of bodily weakness, such as Achilles' heel and Adam's apple, in order to create diet plans with the right proportions of nutrients for each client.:m]]

Though quite experienced in the scientific field of traditional healthcare, Dr. Betty Brainerd, ND, believes the natural healing powers of the body can rival those of the lab. For more than 20 years, she has studied and practiced natural healing solutions in both hospitals and private clinics, listening to her patients' needs in order to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses them. Her treatments can reduce allergic reactions, balance bodily chemistry with nutritional supplements, ease chronic pain, or cleanse bodies of toxins and brains of all but the most useful state capitals.

A back and ankle injury changed Doctor of Chiropractic Lisa Clyne’s life—for the better. When the pills and bed rest prescribed by her doctor didn’t seem to improve her condition, she reluctantly gave in to her parents and agreed to see her mother’s chiropractor. After her first visit, she noticed progress, and within four weeks she felt as good as new. This experience inspired her to change her career path and enroll in New York Chiropractic College. In 2006, she opened her private practice and eventually teamed up with a naturopathic doctor, an endermologist, massage therapists, and acupuncturists. Together they aim to provide alternative health-care services that emphasize long-term wellness rather than short-term treatment of illnesses.

Drawing upon more than 20 years of chiropractic experience and more than a decade of acupuncture know-how, Dr. Clyne searches for the underlying causes of pain by performing x-rays and listening to her patients. She uses traditional chiropractic techniques such as Activator methods, which utilizes a spring-loaded tool to provide gentle, high-speed thrusts, and the Thompson technique, which involves manual adjustments and a specialized table to address misaligned vertebrae. Dr. Clyne also specializes in the Graston soft-tissue technique, which targets spinal issues with six stainless-steel instruments that work with the body’s contours instead of challenging them to a jousting match.
