A Physician-Led Alternative to Going Straight to Surgery
New Canaan residents have no shortage of orthopedic surgeons within a short drive. What is harder to find is a physician-led clinic whose entire purpose is to resolve pain and injury without surgery. CT Sports Recovery, at 215 Main Street in Westport, fills that gap for New Canaan: our board-certified physiatrist and osteopathic physicians diagnose the source of the problem and treat it with hands-on osteopathic manipulation, focused shockwave therapy, PRP and regenerative treatments, red light therapy and EMTT magnet therapy.
Physician visits are billed to insurance, no referral is required, and if your evaluation shows you do need a surgeon, we will tell you plainly and help you get there. For most sports injuries and chronic pain, though, the smarter first step is a physician who treats the cause.

Frequently Asked Questions from New Canaan Patients
I have already seen an orthopedic surgeon. Is it worth getting a non-surgical opinion?
For many tendon, joint and spine problems, yes. Our physicians will review your history and imaging, examine you and tell you whether a non-surgical plan is realistic. If surgery is the right answer, we will say so.
Does CT Sports Recovery accept insurance for New Canaan patients?
Yes. Physician visits and covered treatments are billed to insurance, and no referral is needed. Advanced therapies such as focused shockwave, PRP, red light and peptide programs are typically self-pay, and we review costs before anything begins.
Can you treat squash and racquet-sport injuries?
Yes. Tennis and golfer's elbow, wrist tendonitis, rotator cuff problems and hip impingement are common in racquet athletes and respond well to a combination of osteopathic manipulation, targeted treatments such as focused shockwave and a structured return-to-play plan.
How long does it take to get from New Canaan to your office?
About 20 to 25 minutes via the Merritt Parkway or Route 106 to Route 33. Free parking is in the rear lot at 215 Main Street, Westport.
Do you evaluate concussions in NCHS athletes?
Yes. Our physicians provide concussion evaluation and a stepwise recovery plan for returning to school and sport, and we coordinate with athletic trainers when helpful.
