Meet Dr. Maggie

Dr. Maggie Stupakewicz has always been fascinated by the human body, and more specifically the skeletal system. As a young girl, she began ice skating and after a few years of experience, she fractured her coccyx (the tailbone). After many days of x-rays, and doctor visits, Maggie ended up back at home with little other help then ice and Ibuprofen. Maggie’s mother, Tracy, decided to take her in to a chiropractors office one day for her own visit. Her coccyx was broken in an unusual direction, and was now positioned 90° to the left in relation to the sacrum. The chiropractor told her this would cause further problems with how the muscles and ligaments of the pelvis functioned, and that her pelvic floor, hips, and lower back would no longer work optimally.

Dr. Maggie will tell you that this was the day she started down her chiropractic pathway. After her adjustment she knew this career had just chosen her. She was fascinated with the way the doctor had described her x-rays, how he approached the examination, and how he talked to her throughout the entire adjustment in words that she could understand. She decided in high school at age 14, to plan the next 4 years of her education towards a chiropractic curriculum. She took anatomy, physiology, biology, and chemistry, along with the usual mathematics, history and English of high school education.
