He then attended Logan College of Chiropractic in St. Louis, Missouri where he earned his Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) degree.

Chiropractic is a form of alternative medicine that mainly deals with the diagnosis and treatment of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially the spine. A chiropractor uses spinal adjustments, manipulation, and other techniques to manage patients’ health concerns, including neck pain and back pain. They aim to improve patients’ functionality and quality of life by properly aligning the body’s musculoskeletal structure and enabling the body to heal itself without the use of medication or surgery. 

When not working at Ideal Health Chiropractic, Dr. Maddox enjoys spending time within the community. He freely donates his time to local schools, health organizations, and businesses. 

When not practicing chiropractic, he enjoys maintaining an active lifestyle and relinquishing himself to weekend warrior status. One can often find him on the trails hiking or mountain biking or on the courts looking for a pickup game. He also enjoys participating in half marathons and obstacle course races such as Tough Mudder and Warrior Dash.
