Chiropractor & Owner
Dr. Ryan Maxwell D.C.
Dr. Ryan is originally from a suburb of Chicago, called Norridge. From a young age, Dr. Ryan learned that family was the most important factor in his life. He came home to open a practice in this community largely because of how important family means to him.
Dr. Ryan will carry these principles into practice and ensure that your family will always come first! What matters to you, matters to us! He has a dog named Paisley and his wife, Gina, is our office manager! Dr. Ryan and Gina got married July, 2023!

Jennifer absolutely loves chiropractic! She started off as a patient and loved the results she was getting. After her first adjustment, her life was already changed! Chiropractic not only helped her with her spine but also with issues that she didn’t think it could help with. Without daily headaches, brain fog, and spinal issues; she’s able to keep up with her son!
