Living with daily knee pain? Experience relief at East West Chiropractic with our knee decompression therapy.
Overview
Knee decompression is a non-invasive treatment that can provide pain relief, improved mobility, and enhanced function by gently stretching the knee joint. Stretching the knee joint creates more synovial fluid for lubrication, better movement, and faster healing. Knee-On-Trac ® is a gentle traction device specifically designed for the knee. Settings are customizable to suit each patient’s needs and symptoms.
Benefits of knee decompression include:
- Quick and painless treatments
- Improved mobility and function
- Reduced pain and inflammation
- Non-surgical option
- Increased blood flow to the area
- Can delay the progression of degenerative conditions
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Patients with arthritis in the knee have little to no space in the joint which allows the bones to rub against each other. Knee decompression gently separates the joint giving the bones more space.
Knee decompression is extremely gentle and considered a pain-free therapy, with most patients experiencing only a mild stretching sensation.
While the number of sessions needed varies greatly on the underlying cause and condition, most patients experience results after just a few sessions and many feel relief immediately following the treatment.

Meet The Team
Dr. Deveau is a local boy, born and raised in Ledyard. At the young age of 10, he remembers moving his toes and wondering “what has to happen in the body for that thought to travel and turn into an action in my toes”. That started a lifelong interest in health and body and a fascination with how it all works together. He grew up very active in sports, playing soccer and baseball and was a competitive wrestler. His interest in physical fitness guided him to body building during early adulthood and sparked a passion for biomechanics. In 1989, he then ventured off to California to work as a private trainer at a chiropractic office. He was inspired by what he saw and decided to make chiropractic a career by enrolling in the Los Angeles College of Chiropractic, graduating in 1996. In September of that year, he moved back to Connecticut and started East West Chiropractic.
He has continued his passion for health, keeping his mind open to new ideas and treatments, which has made East West Chiropractic one of the most technologically advanced chiropractic offices in the state. He has hundreds of hours of continuing education in neurology, nutrition, biomechanics, and the health effects of stress and he applies his wealth of knowledge to the treatment plans for his patients.
He currently enjoys tennis, golf, pickleball, shooting, boating… really all the “ings”!
Dr. Zeppieri’s journey with East West Chiropractic began not as a doctor, but as a patient. With a lifelong background in athletics and fitness, he first visited the clinic after suffering an ankle injury while playing football. It was during his rehabilitation that he discovered chiropractic care was far more comprehensive than he had initially realized. This experience sparked a deep interest and growing passion for the field.
While earning his degree in Exercise Science from Central Connecticut State University, Dr. Zeppieri took on multiple roles at East West Chiropractic—including working in therapy and assisting Dr. Deveau—which further solidified his commitment to holistic healthcare. After graduation, he pursued his doctorate at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa, widely regarded as the birthplace of Chiropractic. While at Palmer, he continued his athletic pursuits, playing travel rugby alongside his
studies.
In 2024, Dr. Zeppieri returned to where it all began—joining the team of doctors at East West Chiropractic. He brings with him a strong belief in the power of holistic health, emphasizing proper exercise, strength training, functional mobility, and nutrition as essential components of his approach
to chiropractic care.
Whether you’re recovering from an injury or aiming to enhance your overall quality of life, Dr. Zeppieri is dedicated to helping you achieve your health goals—leaving no stone unturned.
Dr. Shipper was raised on a farm in Pennsylvania, where she developed a deep appreciation for healthy living early in life. Her lifelong involvement in athletics, combined with time spent shadowing her father in his medical practice, sparked a passion for biomechanics and holistic healing.
