Active Release Technique – ART -- is a patented, state-of-the-art soft tissue system in which abnormal tissues are treated by combining precisely directed tension with very specific patient movements. Each ART session is a combination of examination and treatment, individualized for the patient’s specific complaint.

Kay Miller, DC, CCSP, ART, received her ART certification from the New York Chiropractic College and is the ONLY Master Certified ART provider in the Fox Valley. For more than 10 years she has volunteered for various Iron Man competitions, bicycle races and marathons, using ART to treat athletes at these events. She became involved in these competitions because many of her patients are participants and Miller Chiropractic is an active sponsor of both the Redline Triathlon Club and Fond du Lac Running Club.

Athletes and active adults – from runners and bicyclists to golfers and tennis players – suffer from a variety of injuries to the muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves. These patients find great relief from ART. However, it is not just the athletic that benefit from ART, but anyone seeking quick and permanent solutions to headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, knee problems and tennis elbow. These conditions all have one important thing in common: they often result from injury to over-used muscles.

Dr. Miller uses her hands to evaluate the texture, tightness and movement of muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments and nerves and offers treatment protocols with over 500 specific patient moves that are exclusive to ART. Active Release Technique is not a cookie cutter treatment approach, but allows Dr. Miller to identify and correct the specific problems affecting each individual patient. ART, along with chiropractic adjustments, are helping to work both the muscles and vertebrae to correct the problem and keep it from reoccurring.
