Dr. Ricky Hanks

I was destined to be a Doctor of Chiropractic from the time I was a little boy growing up in Lake Highlands, a suburb of Dallas, Texas. The first sign of my destiny was my gift for always wanting to help others.

My love for Chiropractic started in the tenth grade at Lake Highlands High School. As the athletic trainer for the football team, I worked with athletes suffering from sports injuries. It was at that time, a friend introduced me to a Chiropractic doctor who taught me about a different kind of healing.

After high school, I completed my prerequisite hours and was accepted as a student at the Parker College of Chiropractic and earned my degree as a Doctor of Chiropractic in 1986. As a Doctor of Chiropractic, I worked as an associate in clinical practice for 12 years in South Texas. In 1999, I returned to the Dallas and Lake Highlands’ area and opened Hanks Chiropractic Center.

My burning desire is to educate people on the benefits of chiropractic care as a drug-free wellness/prevention tool so they may discover their ability to live at or as close to 100% of their in borne God-given potential. I feel my key to success is gratitude everyday and belief in God as he controls my life. Every single referral I receive is a blessing. I feel that referrals are a direct reflection of that person’s belief in my abilities as a professional and a chiropractor.

I have over 22 years of experience and am trained in postural correction, Diversified, and Thompson. My practice offers chiropractic care, diagnostic services, therapeutic massage and the most advanced state-of-the-art physiotherapies available including decompression, active therapeutic movement (ATM2), and laser therapy.
