Dr. Baxter is a native of Park City, Kansas and is passionate about helping patients function at their optimum capacity. Choosing to be a chiropractor was his natural niche as he always “asks the next question” and enjoys the challenge of finding the root cause of disease, rather than just masking symptoms. His advanced chiropractic training spans several disciplines including: internal medicine, nutrition, epigenetics, McKenzie protocol-full spine (MDT), kinesiology taping, cupping and soft tissue manipulative therapy (FAKTR).

Due to Dr. Baxter’s extensive training in diagnosis and management of chronic health conditions, his primary focus is on the prevention and management of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension, thyroid/adrenal dysfunction and others.

Dr. Baxter analyzes the human body as a whole, through specific biomechanical and biochemical testing. Specific functional movement screens and lab testing are utilized when clinically indicated in order to better understand each patient’s specific condition.

Dr. Baxter strives to meet each patient at their current level of health and provide conservative, effective treatment in order to maximize their health potential and provide the opportunity for a greater quality of life.
