Dr. Stephen B. Wells,
Chiropractor & ART Provider

ART is a patented, state-of-the-art soft tissue system that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves.  Headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fascitis, knee problems, and tennis elbow are just a few of the many conditions that can be resolved quickly and permanently with ART.  These conditions all have one important thing in common - they often result from injury to over used muscles.
 
Every ART session is actually a combination of examination and treatment.  The ART provider uses his or her hands to evaluate the texture, tightness, and movement of muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments, and nerves.  Abnormal tissues are treated by combining precisely directed tension with very specific patient movements.
 
These treatment protocols— over 500 of them— are unique to ART.  They allow providers to identify and correct the specific problems that affect each individual patient.  ART is not a cookie-cutter approach.  Each course of therapy is individually designed to resolve the patient's problems.  Whether you are an office worker, a weekend warrior, or a world class athlete, the preventative and restorative benefits of ART can help you perform at your best.
 
Soft-tissue injuries cost more than $200 billion dollars per year in North America alone.  With proper treatment, these cost can be reduced to less than one-third of that value.  This is the mission of ART.
