Maple Hill packs plenty of history into a town of 631 people. It was founded about 1882 and named for a grove of maple trees on a hill, and after the railroad arrived in 1887 it became a busy shipping point for cattle, hay and grain on the Rock Island line, today part of Union Pacific. On a hillside above the Mill Creek valley stands the limestone Eliot Congregational Church, known as the Old Stone Church, dedicated in 1882 and restored after a 1991 tornado. Today the Maple Hill Bridge, opened in 2009, carries Maple Hill Road across the Kansas River toward St. Marys.
Dr. Durbin starts by listening and examining what is actually going on, whether the problem is back pain from ranch chores, neck pain after time on I-70 or sciatica that flares after long hours in a tractor seat. Care options include gentle chiropractic care, the low-force Activator Method and pediatric care for growing kids. New patients can start with our $47 New Patient Special, or you can book an appointment online.

Local, personal care
Why choose Prairie Star Chiropractic from Maple Hill
Maple Hill is a Wabaunsee County city of 631 people (2020 census) and part of the Topeka metro area, with I-70 about two miles south of town at exit 341 by way of K-30. Since Maple Hill Elementary closed in 2023, local students make the trip to Wabaunsee USD 329 schools in Alma. Getting to Prairie Star Chiropractic means heading the other way: north on Maple Hill Rd, across the Kansas River and up Sandy Hook Rd to US-24, about 10.1 miles and 15 minutes to our office on W Bertrand St in St. Marys.
Prairie Star Chiropractic is a new, self-pay practice led by Dr. James Durbin. Every visit starts the same way: Dr. Durbin listens, examines what is actually going on and explains it in plain language, then recommends gentle, drug-free care built around the life you want to get back to, whether that means a full day of ranch and farm work, the drive on I-70 or keeping up with the kids at school events in Alma. Care is for every age, from busy parents and growing kids to farmers, athletes and grandparents. The office is open Monday through Friday, 9:00am to 12:00pm and 3:00pm to 6:00pm, so a morning visit before chores or a late-afternoon appointment after school can both fit.
What we help with
Common reasons people in Maple Hill see a chiropractor
Back pain from cattle and hay work
Maple Hill grew up shipping cattle, hogs, wheat, prairie hay and alfalfa by rail. Lifting, bending and long days of chores still add up for the low back.
Learn more →Neck pain from time on I-70
Maple Hill is part of the Topeka metro area, with I-70 about two miles south of town. Long drives on the interstate can leave the neck and upper shoulders tight.
Learn more →Sciatica from tractor seats and highway miles
Between tractor seats, pickup cabs and highway miles, sitting for hours can aggravate the sciatic nerve and send pain down the leg.
Learn more →Shoulder pain from hay and fence work
Throwing bales, stretching fence and reaching overhead are hard on the shoulders. A careful exam can help sort out what is actually irritated.
Learn more →Posture for students riding to Alma
Since Maple Hill Elementary closed in 2023, students head to Wabaunsee schools in Alma. Bus rides, heavy backpacks and screens all shape posture, and a gentle check can help spot habits early.
