Gentle, personal chiropractic care for Wamego
About 16 minutes (13.6 miles) from our St. Marys office
If you live or work in Wamego, Prairie Star Chiropractic is a short, straight drive east on US-24 to St. Marys, about 16 minutes from downtown. Dr. James Durbin, DC, opened the practice to give neighbors across Pottawatomie County honest, drug-free care close to home. That includes commuters headed to Manhattan or Topeka, farm and ranch families in the Kansas River valley, Wamego USD 320 students and staff, and retirees who want to stay active.
Wamego packs a lot of character into a town of about 4,800. Downtown along Lincoln Avenue is home to the OZ Museum and the Columbian Theatre, which exhibits paintings from the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair, and every October the street becomes the Yellow Brick Road for OZtoberfest. A few blocks away, Wamego City Park holds the Schonhoff Dutch Mill, a stone windmill built north of town in 1879 and moved to the park stone by stone in 1925, along with the Wamego Historical Museum and Prairie Town Village and the spring Tulip Festival. The same easy drive works for families in Louisville, Belvue, Wabaunsee and Zeandale.
Wamego neighbors can come in for back pain after long commutes, headaches from desk-bound days, and the sprains and strains that come with Red Raiders sports and farm chores. Dr. Durbin offers gentle chiropractic care, pediatric care for growing kids and prenatal care for expecting moms. Ready to start? Claim the $47 New Patient Special or book an appointment.

Why choose Prairie Star Chiropractic from Wamego
Wamego sits where US-24 meets KS-99 on the north bank of the Kansas River, and it shares Pottawatomie County with St. Marys. Many people here commute to Manhattan or Topeka for work, others work at the Solar Turbines manufacturing plant in town, and the river valley around Wamego is planted in alfalfa, corn and wheat while cattle graze the rocky hills. Whether your week is spent behind the wheel, on a plant floor or out in the field, Prairie Star Chiropractic is one straight shot east on US-24, about 13.6 miles and roughly 16 minutes from downtown.
Prairie Star Chiropractic is a new practice, and every visit with Dr. James Durbin, DC, starts the same way: he listens, examines what is actually going on and explains it in plain language before recommending anything. Care is gentle, personal and drug-free, and the plan is built around the life you want to get back to, whether that is coaching Red Raiders sports, walking the craft booths at the Tulip Festival or chasing grandkids around City Park. The office is open Monday through Friday, 9:00am to 12:00pm and 3:00pm to 6:00pm, and it is a self-pay practice with a $47 New Patient Special for first-time patients.

Wamego High and Wamego Middle School athletes, and adults on the tennis courts at City Park, can roll an ankle or pull a muscle.

Commuters who spend the workday at a desk in Manhattan or Topeka often carry tension in the neck and shoulders that can feed headaches.
