Drs. Brian and
Merissa Beard, D.C.
Chiropractors, Parker University
Dr. Merissa grew up in Victoria, BC, Canada where she obtained her BSc. Kinesiology, with Honours, from the University of Victoria. She learned about the power of chiropractic after having her horse adjusted by an equine chiropractor, leading her to seek care for her own health as well. Dr. Merissa attended Parker University in Dallas where she obtained her Doctorate of Chiropractic (and her husband, Dr. Brian!) in 2014.
After having her son, Xander, Dr. Merissa became aware of the gaping holes in education and maternal care during the Motherhood transition. This initiated a new passion for serving women during this time, and Dr. Merissa sought the latest information and techniques available to help moms. She is a member of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) and is certified in the Webster Technique for prenatal care. She has received certificates from BIRTHFIT Coach and BIRTHFIT Professional, as well as Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS). Her heart is for serving women and their children to create empowered, healthy families!

Upon graduation, Dr. Brian traveled to Naples, Florida and then to Charlotte, North Carolina, where he trained under three of the top doctors in the country. He brought their expertise, best practices, and techniques back to serve us here in Conway by opening a MaxLiving Health Center, which today is one of just three in the state of Arkansas.
In addition to living the chiropractic lifestyle, these doctors are passionate about fitness! The Beards also own CrossFit Conway, where they have been working out since 2014. You can often find them frequenting the 8:30am or 11:30am classes, or coaching on the weekends.
