Education is the Best Medicine
Alexandria's root-cause chiropractic clinic — founded by Air Force veterans and D1 athlete turned doctors. We don't chase symptoms. We find the cause, educate you, and build lasting recovery.

About Our Practice
Mayfield Advanced Chiropractic was founded by Dr. Samuel Mayfield after 20 years in Air Force Special Operations. A training injury introduced him to chiropractic care — and the recovery that followed became his second calling. Together with Dr. Conrad Taylor, a former Penn State D1 athlete turned chiropractor, they built a practice rooted in one belief: if you understand what is wrong, you can fix it for good.
We are educators first, clinicians second. Every patient leaves knowing exactly what they have, why it happened, and what the plan is. Education is the best medicine — when you understand your body, you stop being a passenger in your own recovery.

A thorough exam that reproduces, alleviates, and modifies your pain to pinpoint exactly what's causing it. We rule out the serious stuff first so you know where you stand.
Educate
You leave the first visit knowing your diagnosis, the treatment plan, the timeline, and the cost. No ambiguity. Informed patients recover faster.
Empower
Exercises, nutrition, lifestyle changes — the tools to manage your own health. The goal is independence, not a lifetime of appointments.
Emerge
You come out the other side pain-free and equipped to stay that way. Not just treated — genuinely better than before.
