A Pottawatomie County town of 170 people, Emmett got its start as a station on the Union Pacific Railroad, and the tracks still run through town. Its post office opened in 1905, and the town is named for Irish patriot Robert Emmet. Its Catholic roots go back to Holy Cross parish, founded in 1881 in the Cross Creek valley south of town. Today K-63 runs along the west side of Emmett, the Jeffrey Energy Center sits in Emmett Township with a public wildlife area on the land around it, and about four miles north is Saint Clere, birthplace of heavyweight boxing champion Jess Willard.
Whether it’s low back pain after a day of chores, neck pain from hours behind the wheel, or headaches that won’t let up, every visit starts with listening and a careful exam. Dr. Durbin offers chiropractic care, athlete care for student athletes, and gentle pediatric care for growing kids. Ready to start? Claim the $47 New Patient Special or book an appointment.

Why choose Prairie Star Chiropractic from Emmett
Emmett is a small town, 170 residents at the 2020 census, and a lot of everyday life already points south to St. Marys. Kaw Valley USD 321 is headquartered in St. Marys, and Emmett's high schoolers attend St. Marys Jr/Sr High, so the drive down K-63 is a familiar one. Our office sits just off K-63 on W Bertrand St, about 8.3 miles and roughly 11 minutes from Main Street in Emmett, which makes it easy to fit a visit around school, a trip to town, or the commute east on US-24 toward Topeka.
Around Emmett, days often mean farm work in the fields along K-63, time behind the wheel, and kids' activities in St. Marys. Our approach is built for that kind of life. Every visit with Dr. Durbin starts the same way: we listen, examine what is actually going on, and explain it in plain language. Care is gentle, personal and drug-free, and your plan is built around the life you want to get back to, whether that means a full day of chores, a season of school sports, or keeping up with the grandkids. Prairie Star Chiropractic is a brand-new, self-pay practice, and new patients can start with our $47 New Patient Special.
What we help with
Common reasons people in Emmett see a chiropractor
Low back pain from farm and ranch work
Lifting, bending and long hours on equipment in the fields around Emmett can wear on the lower back. We look at how you move and build care around the work you still need to do.
Learn more →Sciatica after long days in the seat
Hours on a tractor seat or in the truck can aggravate pain that travels into the hip and leg. A careful exam helps sort out where it is coming from.
Learn more →Neck stiffness from time behind the wheel
The drive down K-63 and on along US-24 adds up. Long stretches in the car can leave your neck stiff and your shoulders tight.
Learn more →Sprains and strains from St. Marys school sports
Emmett teens attend St. Marys Jr/Sr High, and practices and games bring rolled ankles and pulled muscles. We focus on a safe, steady return to play.
Learn more →Aches from physical, on-your-feet jobs
Work that keeps you lifting, climbing or standing all shift can lead to nagging aches. We help you understand what is going on and how to move better.
Learn more →Tension headaches
Long days, stress and posture can show up as headaches. Gentle adjustments and simple posture guidance may help you feel more comfortable.
