About Dopps Chiropractic
A second-generation practice with over 50 years of serving Wichita
Our Mission
At Dopps Chiropractic, our mission is simple: find the cause, restore function, and help you live better. We believe the nervous system is the primary control system of the body, and that when it functions properly, the body has an extraordinary capacity to heal and adapt. Our cause-based approach means we never just chase symptoms — we look for the underlying dysfunction and correct it.
Our History
Dopps Chiropractic was founded by Dr. Dan Dopps, a Palmer College of Chiropractic graduate who has spent more than 45 years serving the Wichita community. What began as a single clinic has grown into a multi-location practice serving thousands of patients across Wichita and Anthony, Kansas. Dr. Ryan Dopps, Dan's son, joined the practice after graduating from Parker University in Dallas, TX, bringing a new generation of expertise and energy to the clinic. Today, Dopps Chiropractic is one of the most established and trusted chiropractic practices in the region.
