Gentle, personal chiropractic care for Silver Lake
About 16 minutes (13.2 miles) from our St. Marys office
Silver Lake sits on US-24 and the Union Pacific line just northwest of Topeka, a town of 1,345 people at the 2020 census on the north side of the Kansas River. Prairie Star Chiropractic is a new practice in St. Marys, and if you live or work in Silver Lake, the door is open: parents with kids at Silver Lake Elementary or Silver Lake Jr/Sr High, families out in Kiro and across Silver Lake Township, anyone commuting along US-24, and neighbors who simply want to keep moving well.
The town takes its name from Silver Lake itself, a crescent-shaped oxbow left behind by the Kansas River and one of very few natural lakes in Kansas. The river now runs about a quarter mile south of town and is good water for kayaking, canoeing and catfishing, while crop fields line the lake’s western shore. The site was settled in 1847, during the Potawatomi reservation years, and the town was platted in 1868. A marker on Railroad Street recalls the Fort Leavenworth-Fort Riley Military Road, and the maroon-and-gold Eagles have built a long record of state championships.
That mix of commuting, farm work and school sports shows up in the body. Dr. Durbin helps with back pain from long drives, neck pain from desk days, sprains and strains from Eagles practices and overuse injuries from farm and field work. Care starts with gentle chiropractic care, and families can ask about pediatric care and athlete care. When you are ready, start with our $47 New Patient Special.

Why choose Prairie Star Chiropractic from Silver Lake
Silver Lake is the nearest town west of Topeka on US-24, and whether your week takes you east into Topeka or west up the Kansas River valley, US-24 is the road you already know. Getting to Prairie Star Chiropractic simply means pointing the car west: from Chestnut Street it is about 13.2 miles and roughly 16 minutes on US-24, through Rossville and into St. Marys. It is a fitting drive for a town with this much history, too. The marker on Railroad Street notes that US-24 and the Union Pacific tracks follow the old Fort Leavenworth-Fort Riley Military Road toward St. Marys.
Prairie Star Chiropractic is a brand-new practice, and Dr. James Durbin is the chiropractor you will see. Every visit starts the same way: we listen, examine what is actually going on, and explain it in plain language before building a gentle, drug-free plan around the life you want to get back to. That approach works for busy parents, Eagles athletes, farm families, commuters and grandparents alike. The office is open Monday through Friday, 9:00am to 12:00pm and 3:00pm to 6:00pm. Care is self-pay, and new patients can start with the $47 New Patient Special.
What we help with
Common reasons people in Silver Lake see a chiropractor
Low back pain from the US-24 commute
Hours behind the wheel on US-24, whether you head into Topeka or west toward Rossville and St. Marys, can leave the lower back stiff and sore by evening.
Learn more →Neck pain and desk-day tension
A workday at a desk or screen, wherever it happens, tends to pull the head forward and load the neck and upper back.
Learn more →Sprains and strains from Eagles sports
Silver Lake's Lady Eagles volleyball and softball programs have stacked up state championships, and that level of practice and play brings its share of rolled ankles and pulled muscles.
Learn more →Overuse injuries from farm and field work
Crop fields reach right up to the west shore of Silver Lake, and the repetitive lifting, bending and equipment work of farm life can wear on joints and muscles over a season.
Learn more →Shoulder pain from paddling and fishing
Kayaking and canoeing the Kansas River or casting for catfish all day asks a lot of the shoulders, especially early in the season.
Learn more →Poor posture in students
Heavy backpacks and long homework sessions at Silver Lake Elementary and Silver Lake Jr/Sr High can round young shoulders forward over a school year.
