Acupuncture near Branford

“Been seeing Dr Russo for lower back, upper back, neck injuries and vertigo - all due to a fall down a steep flight of stairs that had a railing that was not secured to the wall at the top. Back to Health in Branford has an amazing staff including Tina who is always flexible fitting me in when I can drive and Dr Russo who is personable, professional, and someone who genuinely cares for his patients. It’s been my home away from home. I highly recommend for back, neck injuries, ear and head trauma, and the Epley maneuver for vertigo!“

“I booked a 2 hour massage with Shannon P. She was so attentive to my concerns and adjusted how she massaged for my needs. The whole experience felt so comfortable that I fell asleep. There’s music and dim warm lighting that really soothes you. I highly recommend this spa to anyone who suffers from chronic pain and from stress tension. I will be booking again and again because it was so amazing!“

“she took us in last minute as a walk in , my kids are sick as a dog with a cold. Quick adjustment on all of us and you could already see the color come back into our faces and blood starting to flow normally, my kids are acting a tad better, my toddler even started to eat more food after not eating much for past 3 days. Lots of congestion coming out. Highly recommend her when your kids are sick or even when they are just off ! It felt like such a relief we have been with her for past 2 years and shes just literally been god send and like a family at this point. I cannot say enough good things shes done for my familys health“

“Dr. Aviles has improved my quality of life tenfold. She is an attentive, kind and curious ND who tracked down symptoms I’ve been suffering through for nearly two decades. To finally have a diagnosis that makes sense of how I’ve been feeling has validated my experience in healing ways, and replaced my fear with hope. Thank you for giving me my life back!“

“APM has been nothing short if an amazing experience! Very proffessional and clean setting. I have always felt comfortable and apart of the family since I began my treatment.“

“I had sessions w several massage therapist at Elm City Wellness & though some were good, they did not work for me. I made one last attempt in my quest to find a therapist who sees their services as a support to my medical care. Some massages bring temporary pain relief but, no significant change. Based on outstanding reviews, I booked a massage with Samantha M, from Elm City Wellness & was pleasantly surprised to experience pain relief for days, after only one session. She listened to the medical information I shared & adjusted massage to target the problem areas. Through the years, massage therapist are either heavy handed wout focus or intimidated by my medical situation, they barely massage. Samantha is communicative, knowledgeable of medical/ oncology world, which helped me relax. She created a peaceful space which is why we go to spas. More than that she truly strives to make a difference for her clients. W periods of required isolation, I’m not able to book sessions as often as I’d like. Yet, Samantha remembers the information I’ve shared & every session w her is great. She is gifted in healing hurting bodies for sure. I highly recommend Samantha for an exceptional massage. Anyone undergoing oncology treatments or those w loved ones who are. Elm City Wellness offers a few oncology therapist familiar with the process of chemotherapy/ radiation/ side effects. Samantha is a part of my medical support now & many other clients.
This is a updated review from a couple of years ago.“

“Dr. Steve DRAMATICALLY sped-up the recovery time of my injured back by working his ‘magic’. My wife and I both visit Dr. Steve when we need ‘straightening-out’.“

“I see Dr.Hackett and I have seen his wife as well. Amazing staff kind and helpful. Seeing Dr. Pat has changed my life. I have learned to live a life without pain and discomfort , not only from his chiropractic procedures but from techniques he taught me on how to manage my pain during everyday activities.“

“There’s an art and science to everything Dr. Barry does. He knows the human body from head to toe. I have brought him an array of sports injuries and stress related ailments and he has always gotten me back into action at the gym and at work. He is simply the best.“

“I started seeing Dr Jacob about a month ago on a weekly basis. After my first appointment with him, I knew I was on the right track. He assessed me within minutes after standing up from the chair in the reception area. He targeted my area of concern without my even saying anything about it. Over the past year I have seen orthopedic doctors, a physical therapist and a message therapist with zero results. My orthopedic didn’t listen to what I felt was the root cause of my problem and treated only the symptom. Dr. Jacob’s approach and understanding of whole body treatment was so refreshing and I know that I am truly on the right path!“

“Dr. Michael Pace adjusted me today & I feel WONDERFUL!!! I’m able to work out of pain for the first time since November of 2025. He worked on me until a particular spot opened up on my thoracic. I am a faithful patron for as long as he is in practice.“
