We are Auxoma.

A Wichita chiropractic and rehab practice built on one belief — that living with pain shouldn’t be normal, and that with the right team, you can get your life back.

Why We Exist

It doesn’t have to be this way.

We meet people every day who face injuries and physical restrictions — people who have lived with overwhelming pain and discomfort for years.

People looking for long-term relief who feel lost on how to even get started, let alone get all the way there. We started Auxoma because that’s a problem worth solving.

We want to help. Our chiropractic and rehab care in Wichita is built to do exactly that — to support you in living without your body getting in the way.

The Meaning Behind the Name

Our mission is summed up in our name.

Auxiliary
Root — Latin

Meaning "to help or support." It's the role we choose to play in every patient's recovery.

Soma
Greek

Meaning "whole body." Because lasting results come from treating the whole person, not just the symptom.

Auxoma — to support your whole body in achieving pain-free living, with renewed confidence in how you move.

Our Mission

Serving our fellow Wichitans on the road to healthy living.

Through the power of therapeutic exercise, muscle manipulation, dry needling, and traditional chiropractic care, we help you live life without limits. Your recovery journey may be long and arduous — but with the right team on your side, you can get there.

  • Find the root cause We look for the real source of your pain — not just where it shows up.
  • Doctor-led, whole-body care Every plan is guided by your doctor and built around your whole body.
  • Built around your goals A custom plan with your life — and the things you want back — as the target.

Meet the Doctors

The right team on your side.

Two Wichita-based chiropractors who care as much about who you are as what brought you in.

Dr. Justus Kauffman, Owner and Chiropractor at Auxoma

Owner · Chiropractor

Dr. Justus Kauffman

Born and raised in Wichita, Dr. Kauffman built Auxoma to give his hometown the kind of care he believes in — thorough, personal, and focused on lasting results. He’s deeply passionate about the work and about the people who walk through the door.

Outside the clinic, you’ll find him on the basketball court or the golf course, and at home with his wife and their two young kids.

Dr. Tyler Panko, Lead Chiropractor at Auxoma

Lead Chiropractor

Dr. Tyler Panko

A small-town Nebraska native, Dr. Panko came to Wichita after chiropractic school and never looked back. He brings a movement-first philosophy and deep clinical expertise to every patient he sees.

When he’s not in the clinic, he’s usually rucking, training for a health competition, or at home with his wife and their two dogs — he practices the active, capable life he helps patients build.

What We Stand For

Life without pain. Without restrictions. Without limits.

People First

You're a person with goals, not a chart. Every plan starts with who you are and what you want back.

Root-Cause Honesty

We do the harder, better thing — finding the real cause instead of chasing the symptom.

Results That Last

The goal isn't a quick fix. It's getting you stronger and more resilient than when you started.

Ready When You Are

Let's get your life back.
