    Rooted in Springfield: Over 25 Years of Dedicated Care


    The story of 417 Spine is a story about commitment—to a profession, to our patients, and to the Springfield community we are honored to call home. For over a quarter of a century, our practice has been built on a clear and simple vision: to create a healthcare environment where patients are treated like family. This vision, championed by Dr. Charles Maurer and Dr. Matthew Maurer, blends the timeless art and philosophy of chiropractic with modern, evidence-based science. They sought to establish a clinic that went beyond the conventional, one where every recommendation is made with the patient's ultimate well-being as the single most important factor. This dedication to authentic, individualized care is what has allowed 417 Spine - North to grow from a passionate idea into a thriving practice with two convenient locations. It’s a journey fueled by the countless patient success stories we’ve witnessed. From the front desk to the treatment room, our entire team—including Lori, Dorsie, Jessey, and Megan—shares this foundational commitment. We believe that genuine healing thrives in an atmosphere of trust and support, and that is the environment we have painstakingly built and maintained here in Springfield for more than two decades.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Do you have a new patient special?

      Yes, we do! To help you get started on the path to relief, we offer a $47 New Patient Special. This comprehensive initial visit includes your private consultation with the doctor, a full chiropractic examination, any necessary X-rays, and a complete report of our findings.

      What should I expect during my first visit to 417 Spine - North?

      We are committed to making your first visit a comfortable, informative, and positive experience. Your visit will begin with a warm welcome and our new patient forms, which allow us to understand your health history. Following this, one of our doctors will conduct a private consultation to discuss your specific condition and health goals. The doctor will then perform a thorough chiropractic examination, which includes standard orthopedic and neurological tests. Depending on these findings, we may take X-rays with our state-of-the-art equipment to get a precise evaluation of your condition. Finally, the doctor will provide a complete "Report of Findings" to explain everything and, in most cases, you will receive your first gentle adjustment, all with your full consent.
