attempting to treat disease once it occurs, Wellness
Sport & Spine Chiropractic emphasizes improving your
health in an effort to reduce the risk of pain and
illness in the first place. Most people would rather
be healthy and avoid illness, if they could. This is
one of the main reasons for the big surge in the

For some, Wellness Sport & Spine Chiropractic will
take them back to a place that is cozy and familiar,
offering a rediscovery of health and wellness that
had been previously known but long lost. For others,
the journey may offer a new center, one never before
experienced.
People are recognizing the benefit of seeking an
alternative to traditional medicine; one that will

Kim Miller, DC, ATC, MST, MA
Dr. Miller has a
unique background. After completing his
undergraduate and graduate degrees in biology,
education and sports medicine/athletic training, he
became certified as an athletic trainer in 1976. He
continued his education receiving a second master's
degree in biology involving hormone research.
In 1988, Dr. Miller competed in the winter Olympic
trials for biathlon. His background in education,
biology, orthopedics, sports medicine and as an
athlete provides Dr. Miller with valuable insights
in caring for his patients. While working in the
sports medicine field he developed an interest in
and was very successful in caring for people with
neck and back injuries. During this time, Dr. Miller
was anti-Chiropractic because he felt that the
Chiropractic profession was not addressing the
underlying cause of person's neck pain or back pain.
When licensing for athletic trainers came about in
New York State, the care of neck and back injuries
was not included in the scope of practice. This led
Dr. Miller to attend Chiropractic college so that
neck and back injuries could be "cared for the right
way".
At Chiropractic college Dr. Miller discovered the
true benefits of Chiropractic and became a proponent
of Chiropractic care for helping to improve a
person's health. It seemed to him that the
fundamental purpose was similar to other forms of
allopathic medicine including sports medicine and
physical therapy (i.e. trying to get a person back
to where they were before they got injured or sick).
Dr. Miller attended a seminar on Network Spinal
Analysis (NSA) given by Drs Graber and Rice while at
New York Chiropractic College. The research from UC
Irvine medical school was presented and discussed,
demonstrating that NSA had significant effects on a
person's quality of life.
This began Dr. Miller's passion for NSA. It was no
longer about trying to fix an injury, disease or
illness; it was about having an impact on a person's
life and well being. NSA is about helping a person
have a higher quality of living, not returning them
to where they were.
That is our basic underlying goal at Wellness Sport
and Spine; that is, to have an impact, to help you
achieve a new level of living and life. We do this
not by giving you a fish when you're hungry but by
teaching you how to fish.
