Dr. Parris Hickman, DC, CACCP, is a board certified pediatric and perinatal chiropractor. She earned a B.A. in Psychology from East Carolina University before moving to Atlanta for her Doctor of Chiropractic degree at Life University. During that time she was an active member of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association and served on its executive board. After graduation she became Richmond Hill's first board-certified pediatric chiropractor and the first perinatal-certified chiropractor in South Georgia. Her additional training includes Activator, TRT, MC2, Network Spinal Analysis, NeuroEmotional Technique, and cranial work. She is also Spinning Babies trained.

The practice's work is organized around four areas. For pediatrics, the team assesses and optimizes children's nervous system function so that a clear and balanced system lets children express their health fully. For motherhood, the team assists patients who are trying to conceive or already pregnant. For athletes, the focus is on nervous system regulation, since athletes push their bodies to their limits and interference can hold them back. Adults are welcomed as well, whether they come alone or with family.

The office sits on Ford Avenue, about half a mile from Bryan Neck Road. Richmond Heights Park and Timber Trail Park are each roughly 0.7 miles away, Richmond Hill Elementary School is about 0.8 miles away, and Doctor George Washington Carver Elementary School is about a mile from the office.

Dr. Hickman's mission is personal: after two difficult birth experiences of her own, she set out to change the standard of care around pregnancy, birth, and the transition into motherhood, and to give women knowledge, choices, and care that honors their voice and values. The practice's stated vision is a community of connected, empowered families.
