Our team of professionals
Dr. Austin Elkin is a fun, loving, and kind-hearted leader that is passionate about helping people take responsibility for their health. As a kid, working in his parent’s Chiropractic office, he got to see thousands of patients not only get out of pain, but learn how to live a lifestyle that promoted whole-body wellness and optimal function through God’s laws of health and healing.
The reason that Dr. Austin cares so much about what he does is because of his family. While Dr. Austin was studying Kinesiology at the University of Western Ontario, his dad got into a terrible dirt biking accident. He attempted a table top jump and flipped over the handlebars, fracturing 4 bones in his neck. After hours waiting in the emergency room, the medical doctor on staff came out to speak with his family. The attending medical doctor said that he had never seen so much damage on someone’s x-ray, without them becoming a quadriplegic, or dying. The doctor went on to say that if Dr. Austin’s dad had not taken care of his spine through Chiropractic, he wouldn’t be here today.
Since that moment, Dr. Austin has been committed to sharing the insights of optimal health and healing with people whenever he can. While graduating 2nd in his doctorate class at Life University, he learned advanced techniques and protocols in spinal correction, nutrition, fitness, pediatrics, and pregnancy care. Dr. Austin believes that you shouldn’t need a doctorate degree to have an understanding of how God designed your body to function and heal, and he works to provide and simplify this information whenever someone needs the help.
In his free time, you can find him and his wife (future Dr. Cierra), either on the golf course, at the beach, or doing something that tests his physical limits!
Dr. Cierra is a dedicated, compassionate leader with a passion for holistic health, and helping others understand how to heal from the inside out. Growing up receiving consistent chiropractic care, she noticed that she would have less injuries and illnesses than other kids around her. However, it wasn’t until she met a Maxliving chiropractor that she understood the importance of a holistic approach to healthcare.
She began her academic journey studying Kinesiology at the University of Western Ontario, where she developed a deep understanding of human movement and performance. She later pursued her Doctor of Chiropractic degree at Life University, honing her skills in corrective spinal care, nutrition, pediatric-specific techniques, and postpartum care for mothers.
Her expertise in nervous system-based chiropractic care allows her to address the root causes of dysfunction, helping patients improve mobility, reduce pain, and enhance overall nervous system function. She also has a deep passion for supporting postpartum mothers through their recovery journey, as well as providing gentle and effective care for babies to promote healthy development.
Outside of the office, you’ll find Dr. Cierra exploring nature, creating crochet projects, or spending quality time with Dr. Austin and daughter Adaline!
Traditional healthcare often overlooks underlying issues, leading to long-term problems. MaxLiving stands out by addressing the root causes, not just symptoms through our whole-body approach known as the 5 Essentials™.
What sets MaxLiving’s care apart is the advanced training and education our doctors and teams undergo. Unlike other healthcare practices, we don’t believe in a one-size-fits all approach, which is why each patient is provided with a personalized care plan, crafted to meet your unique needs. With our extensive health and education resources, you’ll not only receive the care you need, but also gain the knowledge to make informed decisions for you & your family.
