Body pain that hasn’t gone away — even after you’ve tried everything?
In-person care in Appleton for back pain, neck pain, headaches, shoulder pain, and knee pain — and for body pain that keeps coming back after treatment.
You’ve stretched, rested, tried the exercises, the scans, maybe the injections. The pain is still there, or it keeps coming back. If other treatments haven’t worked, it may be because they were aimed at the place that hurts, not at what is causing it.
Pain & Injury Solutions is Dr. Vince Catteruccia’s in-person clinic in Appleton, Wisconsin. He works with people in exactly that situation: body pain and physical limits that have not cleared up, and a need for a clear plan in language you can actually use. You don’t have to already know the name of his method. You just have to know that what you’ve tried so far hasn’t been enough.

In-person care in Appleton
If you can come into the clinic, this is the path. You’ll be seen at the clinic, not on a video call. The work combines manual therapy, a careful look at how you move, and a plan you can keep using at home.

- Call or text: 920-888-1968
The initial consult is a paid visit (30 to 45 minutes).
Online coaching is a separate service, Elite 25. If you need a plan you can follow from anywhere, that’s the Elite 25 page.
How Dr. Vince helps — and what’s different
Most care chases the sore spot. Dr. Vince looks upstream — at how you move, how you sit and stand through a workday, and what in the chain is driving the pain you feel. Then he builds a plan around you, not around a generic protocol.
In the clinic, that means hands-on manual therapy plus corrective exercise. He is certified in ART (Active Release Techniques). The plan is personalized, and you learn what to do at home, so you are not starting over every time the pain returns.
This is not physical therapy. Dr. Vince is a registered kinesiotherapist certified in ART. The goal is not a clever diagnosis label. It is a clearer picture of why the problem is still there, and a practical way to work on it.

The method behind it
The Living Pain Free Method
The Living Pain Free Method is how Dr. Vince works with people whose body pain keeps coming back after treatment. It has three categories: Understand, Overcome, and Pursue. As he writes in Damned by the Diagnosis, if you understand and overcome your pain, you can pursue the life you desire.
Understand — See what is actually driving the pain
Most care starts at the sore spot. This step starts earlier. Dr. Vince takes a careful look at how you move, how you sit and stand through a day, and what in the chain is driving the pain you feel. The place that hurts is often the victim, not the cause — which is why earlier treatment may have helped for a while and then faded. You leave this step with a clearer picture of what is going on, in language you can actually use.
Overcome — Work the plan, not just the sore spot
Once you know what is driving the pain, the work can aim at that, not only at where it hurts. In the Appleton clinic, that includes hands-on manual therapy and corrective exercise, plus a plan you can keep using at home. The idea is simple: calm what is keeping the problem going, then rebuild how you move so the change has a chance to hold. You are not handed a generic protocol. The plan is built around your body and your life.
Pursue — Get back to the life you want
The point of the work is not a clever diagnosis label. It is getting back to the life you want — and knowing what to practice so you are not starting over every time the pain returns. You learn how to take care of your body yourself, with the aim of independence, not a cycle of maintenance that never ends. That is the pursue in the method: understand and overcome your pain, so you can pursue the life you desire.

FAQ
What if nothing has worked?
That’s often why people come here. If stretches, rest, scans, or other treatment haven’t lasted, it may be because the plan was aimed at the sore spot instead of what is driving it. The first step is a careful look at how you move and what’s going on, then a plan built around that — in person, in the Appleton clinic.
Are you a physical therapist?
No. Dr. Vince is a registered kinesiotherapist (RKT), certified in ART (Active Release Techniques). He is not a physical therapist. If you’re looking for physical therapy, this is a different kind of care.
Do I need a referral?
We welcome referrals from physicians, physical therapists, and other healthcare providers. If you’ve been referred to us, mention it when you book and we’ll make sure your provider gets a summary of your visit.
Do you take insurance?
HSA cards are welcome. We don’t accept other insurance. If you have a question about how payment works, call or text 920-888-1968 and we’ll walk you through it.
How long is the initial consult?
The initial consult at Pain & Injury Solutions is a paid visit (30 to 45 minutes).
What’s the difference between Pain & Injury Solutions and Elite 25?
Pain & Injury Solutions is in-person, hands-on care at the Appleton clinic. Elite 25 is online coaching you can do from anywhere. Same practitioner, two different ways to work together. If you’re local and want hands-on treatment, you’re in the right place. If you need a plan you can follow from home or on the road, start with the Elite 25 page.
