At Advanced Physical Medicine, our Chiropractic Physicians specialize in helping active individuals—from athletes to weekend warriors—recover from sports injuries, relieve pain, and move better every day. We focus not just on treatment, but on education, showing you how to move properly to prevent future injuries.
Our Sports Chiropractors have completed advanced training in sports-related injuries, helping your joints move freely, muscles fire correctly, and your body perform at its best. Chiropractic care isn’t just for pain—it can also improve performance, recovery, and overall function.
We also treat chronic pain, post-accident injuries, headaches, and other musculoskeletal issues. Each patient receives a full history and physical exam, followed by personalized treatment options. We review each technique with you and collaborate with other healthcare providers when needed.
Most insurances cover chiropractic care, and a referral is usually not required. Our goal is to help you feel better, educate you on your health, and provide a supportive environment for your care and recovery.
We're changing the game.
Dr. Mitchell’s passion for sports and movement started early, and it ultimately shaped his path into chiropractic care. While playing basketball at Sacred Heart High School in Waterbury, he learned that one of his coaches was a chiropractor—sparking his interest in the profession.
As he continued competing and dealing with the demands of sports, he became increasingly drawn to chiropractic’s role in injury prevention, performance, and recovery. While completing his bachelor’s degree at Quinnipiac University, he decided to pursue a career as a chiropractor, focusing on active individuals and athletes.
Today, Dr. Mitchell maintains an active lifestyle through local CrossFit training, basketball, golf, and other fitness activities—giving him firsthand insight into the needs of active patients and those recovering from sports-related injuries.

In addition to having a major sports background of her own, Ashlie is also a mom of children in sports and understands how important chiropractic care is to the health of her children within their activities.
