Meet The Doctors

When was the last time you spent 30-minutes one-on-one with a doctor? I’m not talking about sitting in the waiting room either…I mean actually being evaluated and treated by the doctor. Probably never, right? Well, at Advantage Walk-In Chiropractic’s Spine and Disc center you do! It’s the quality treatment time spent with the patient that can make the difference in progress. We listen…we observe…we care…and we don’t chase pain. “If you have pain, you have a movement problem.” We spend time with you to fix the problem! Our program is centered on YOU as the individual.

Dr. Jamie Ricks has been freeing people from pain as a licensed chiropractor since 2001 in his clinic in Boise, Idaho. After receiving his associate degree at Ricks College, Dr. Ricks continued his education through Excelsior College where he received his Bachelor of Science Degree, from there he attended Western States Chiropractic College in Portland, Oregon. In the fall of 2001, he graduated with his Doctorate of Chiropractic. Soon after, Dr. Ricks became licensed in the state of Idaho, and earned his certification as a strength and conditioning specialist as well as his certification as a decompression therapy practitioner.
