Recharge your cells and support your body’s natural ability to heal itself with PEMF at East West Chiropractic.
Overview
Our entire body is electrical! Without electrical impulses in our bodies, we wouldn’t be able to navigate this website, stand, feel pain, or have a heartbeat. Each cell in our body is like a capacitor or battery which holds a charge. When our cell’s voltage drops it becomes dysfunctional and is unable to heal. An unhealthy cell cannot expel toxins nor absorb oxygen and take in nutrients. This cellular dysfunction manifests itself in the form of disease, inflammation, pain, and illness.
PEMF therapy uses pulsed electromagnetic fields to bathe low energy, unhealthy cells, with natural energy. Think of it as a battery charger for all our underpowered cells. A charged, healthy cell can meet the energy demands for optimal cell function and can produce new cells. PEMF is a wellness modality that supports the body’s natural ability to heal and maintain balanced body function. The result is reduced pain, faster recovery, more resilient cell functions, improved immunity, and increased energy.

What Our Patients Are Saying
Cindy C.
“50 years ago I was diagnosed with degenerative disc disease, thus I have experienced chronic pain for most of my life. The relief, and overall benefit, I have received from regular PEMF treatments is remarkable! I am no longer in constant discomfort and I find the sessions are generally revitalizing. PEMF has definitely improved the quality of my daily life”
Liz S.
“I’ve been a patient at East West Chiropractic for over 25 years and have benefited from the treatment and curing of multiple injuries and ailments. However, the most amazing resolve has been the relief I experienced after having PEMF treatments for very painful plantar fasciitis. My career requires me to be on my feet for most of the day, either walking or standing for hours. I eventually developed plantar fasciitis in one foot, then the other and the pain made it extremely difficult to walk. Conventional treatment and fancy, expensive insoles didn’t help much so Dr. D suggested PEMF. I’m almost completely pain free after weekly PEMF and now only need maintenance appointments once a month. It’s definitely worth it! Life is easier when your feet don’t bother you.”
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.
