Dr. Maegan Istok, Chiropractor
Dr. Istok grew up in Michigan and was an avid athlete. When she was 17, the opposing basketball team set a pick and she slammed right into another girl. “I felt my spine crack up and down and just didn’t feel right afterward.”
Her mother took her to see her chiropractor and the adjustments helped relieve the pain. “Three months into my care plan I noticed I hadn’t been using my asthma inhaler. My debilitating menstrual cramps were better, too.” Dr. Istok mentioned this during her next appointment and the chiropractor explained how chiropractic adjustments help align the whole spine affecting every nerve of the body, not just the problem area, and therefore improve whole body function.
She received her Doctor of Chiropractic from Life University, Georgia in 2010 and immediately began practicing at a chiropractic clinic in Atlanta.
“Over the years I’ve worked with senior chiropractors and independently all over the country, practicing in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and now Arizona.”
Dr. Istok is certified in the Webster technique and works with pregnant mothers to ensure they have a comfortable pregnancy. She adjusts infants soon after birth to remove any stress caused by the birthing process. “Watching the transformation in infants after an adjustment might just be my favorite thing in the world! And I adjust children of all ages, helping them to grow up healthy.”
Dr. Maegan has lived in Arizona for almost ten years. In that time she has had three beautiful children. With them all weighing in at 9.4lbs and above, regular chiropractic care played a key role in not only allowing her to work right up until the end of her pregnancies, but in having the smooth, unmedicated, natural deliveries she had always dreamed of.
Dr. Genesis Larkins, Chiropractor
Dr. Genesis Larkins DC, MSFN grew up between North Carolina and Texas with 7 brothers and 1 sister. She has always been an athlete participating in volleyball, basketball, soccer, and track and field. After realizing her best sport was Track and Field, she focused on becoming the best athlete she could. She accepted a scholarship at Angelo State University competing
in the 400m dash. During her time at Angelo State, her team was able to win a conference championship! In her Freshman season, she developed a pain in the arch of her foot. The injury required surgery and extensive rehab. When she returned to training, the changes in her foot led to pain in her hips and lower back. After months of physical therapy, she decided to go to the chiropractor to see if there was anything else she could do to be able to return to the Track without pain or discomfort. After 2 weeks of treatment, she was able to run without pain and return to practice without restriction. Because of the knowledge she gained and significant improvement from chiropractic care, she decided she wanted to do this for other people and athletes!
Dr. Larkins has extensive knowledge in sport rehabilitation, biomechanics, and functional nutrition. She received her Masters in Functional Nutrition in 2020 along with her Doctorate of Chiropractic in 2021 at Parker University in Dallas, TX. Functional Nutrition has always been an area of interest for Dr. Larkins. She wanted to be able to provide her patients with comprehensive, full body care. This addition to her education has allowed patients to look at their health as a whole and see how the body can work at an optimum capacity. She completed her internship at the Dallas Veterans Affairs Hospital during COVID and was able to experience emergency medicine while completing her training. During Chiropractic school she participated in specialized classes that allowed her to have training in A.R.T. (Active release technique), Webster’s technique, IASTM (instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization), and Sports rehabilitation. Her goal is to spread her knowledge about the benefits of holistic and preventative care to as many people as possible.
