Dr. Culici attended Sacred Heart University and received his Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science. From there he went on to receive his Doctorate of Chiropractic from the University of Bridgeport where he graduated Summa Cum Laude and Valedictorian. Dr. Culici has trained extensively in Active Release Techniques. Many of the seminars attended by Dr. Culici were instructed by Dr. Criscuolo. Dr. Culici uses his knowledge in both Chiropractic care and exercise physiology to benefit his patients by creating treatment plans involving a combination of manipulative therapies, manual therapies, and exercise. Dr. Culici is certified in Active Release Techniques and Graston Technique.

Active Release Techniques (A.R.T.) is a hands on treatment modality that is currently incorporated in the treatment of most elite athletes. Due to its effectiveness most professional sports teams rely on practitioners trained in this soft tissue technique. Movement assessment of a patient is used to determine which muscles, ligaments, fascia and tendons have lost their normal elasticity, and therefore have scarred or adhered to other surrounding tissues. The goal of A.R.T. is to reduce the restricted tissue and return pliability to the injured or overused soft tissues. This restoration of tissue and joint mobility can result in a decrease in symptoms and a return of motion.

Dr. Culici’s clinical interests include conservative methods of pain management and sports medicine. Outside of the clinic Dr. Culici enjoys spending time with his family, swimming, hiking and being outdoors.
