THANK YOU FOR THE BRISTOL PRESS “BEST OF BRISTOL” There were many firsts over the past 30 years of practice; from being welcomed into the Bristol Hospital, to our affiliation with the pain management team, and joining the Bristol Medical Society, all as the first chiropractor in the state to do so. Those firsts would not have been possible without the support of Doctors Benoit, Padget, D’Addario and Kost. These doctors were true visionaries in integrative holistic healthcare and we would like to thank them for their continued confidence over the years. We are proud to announce the addition of Dr. Justin Corbelle, our new chiropractic physician, who joined our team at Bristol Chiropractic & Acupuncture, Inc. during this past year. Dr. Corbelle obtained his undergraduate degree in Exercise Science from UCONN and his doctorate from the University of Bridgeport-College of Chiropractic. Dr. Corbelle’s life purpose is to help patients and their families enjoy life by enriching their health and well-being. We, the doctors and staff of Bristol Chiropractic & Acupuncture, Inc. would like to thank the patients and physicians who continue to refer their friends, family and patients to our office for chiropractic, acupuncture and physical rehabilitation treatment. Your confidence is very much appreciated. In health, Dr. Glen Palmisano, DC, CCRD, FIAMA
