Active Release Technique is a patented, state of the art soft tissue system/movement based massage technique that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves. Headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, knee problems, and tennis elbow are just a few of the many conditions that can be resolved quickly and permanently with ART.
The Fascial Distortion Model (FDM) is an anatomical perspective in which the underlying etiology of virtually every musculoskeletal injury (and many neurological and medical conditions as well) is considered to be comprised of one or more of six specific pathological alterations of the body's connecting tissues (fascial bands, ligaments, tendons, retinacula, etc.).

I went to Dr. Stanker for lower back and sciatica pain; I hadn't been to a chiropractor for 30 years so wasn't sure what to expect. Dr. Stanker was very professional and listened to me. He was so helpful in treating me with the latest techniques. I will return as needed; he gave me exercises to do at home which has made a big difference. I was able to get an appointment quickly but he left my return visits up to me-no high pressure. I would very highly recommend him and the professional staff. Mary Wolf

Dr Luke is awesome!! He takes his time to treat you. I never feel rushed during my appointments. I always leave his office with every aches in my body relieved and/or fixed. He's also willing to teach you how to continue healing (i.e. stretches, postures, etc.) even after you leave his office. I've recommended him to all my friends!

Luke is AMAZING! I found myself with a lot of pain and discomfort in my back. I was able to get in to see him quickly and he took the time to understand and talk through my issue. He immediately got to work and helped ease my discomfort level. He asked I come back for another session in a week and we could go from there. I returned for another adjustment and he just said to come in if the pain came back - didn't tell me I needed to come back for several sessions a week or that I needed x-rays. I love that he is down to earth, kind, caring and efficient. I have now made a point to routinely come

Dr. Stanker is wonderful--Skilled, sensitive and kind! Both my husband and I are musicians and we began working with him in the spring of 2018, both with tendonitis related issues. His expertise with ART helped us greatly! I went back to him this fall with extreme lower back pain, and I went from not being able to stand without pain to significant relief! Highly recommend!!!

Top notch! I had a neck issue that wasn’t going away. Dr Stanker got me the same day. He took the time to address the issue & help fix it. It’s been 4 days & it’s gotten better everyday. Thank you Dr Stanker & KC Sports Docs. -Jason

Dr. Stanker is the consummate professional he makes you feel comfortable, and at ease he is very attentive to what your concerns are. I wish I would have found him 12 years ago.

Friendly, patient, knowledgeable and skilled. Through minimal visits Luke has helped me with my neck and shoulder by reducing tightness, increasing range of motion and reducing dull pain. Active release treatment is the real deal.
