The North Asheville clinic location is proud that Dr. Ken Hicks joined its team in 2022 to provide important healthcare services to the local community.

“I always loved helping others and working at The Joint gives me the opportunity to do this every day,” he says. “I love that the job is physical -- as opposed to a desk job -- because it helps keep me healthy.”

Dr. Hicks worked previously in Roswell, Ga., Blacksburg, Va., Mannington, W.V., and Chattanooga and Johnson City, Tenn. Born in Roswell, he moved to North Carolina while in middle school.

He and his wife have “a sweet and silly black Lab that just seems to love everyone.” His hobbies include hiking and photography.

Dr. Hicks earned his doctorate of chiropractic from Life University in Marietta, Ga., after getting his bachelor’s in psychology at Appalachian State in Boone.

“After suffering from gastrointestinal issues for years with no good answers or solutions from the medical community, I saw a chiropractor and my chronic issue resolved itself in a matter of weeks,” he says. “This piqued my interest in becoming a chiropractor.”

It has led him to some great professional moments, including one early in his career. “I had a patient who could not lay down or she would throw up,” Dr. Hicks says. “I wasn’t sure what to do, so I propped up a table against the wall and had her lean on it so I could adjust her. It worked well and she greatly appreciated it. After a few weeks of adjusting her this way, she was able to lay on a regular table for her adjustments. She credited this to her chiropractic care.”

In Case You Didn’t Know

Dr. Hicks’ ideal dinner party would include comedians Steve Martin, Ellen DeGeneres, Robin Williams, and Kevin Hart “because laughter lightens our load.”

One of his most amazing adventures involved him and two wheels. “I took an off-road solo motorcycle trip across the U.S. called the TransAmerica trail,” Dr. Hicks says. “It added to my confidence regarding handling difficult situations by myself.” Perhaps that’s why the title of his biography would be called Little Adventures.

He always keeps peanut butter stocked in his refrigerator: “It’s an easy go-to snack I’ve enjoyed since I was a kid.”

A book that has been influential to Dr. Hicks was written by Victor E. Frankl titled Man’s Search for Meaning. “It showed me what we’re all capable of doing,” he says.

Dr. Daniel Lenhart joined The Joint Chiropractic in 2024 when he became part of the team at the South Asheville clinic, where he does the rewarding work of helping people as their local healthcare provider.

“Whether it is seeing patients for wellness care or more serious issues, I enjoy helping people improve and maintain their health utilizing the power of their own body,” he says. “My colleagues are another reason I enjoy the field of chiropractic so much. I appreciate the many conversations and the constant learning.”

Dr. Daniel, as his patients call him, grew up in Jacksonville, Florida. “It wasn't until I joined the Army and sustained a back injury while deployed to Iraq that I realized the career path I would pursue,” he says.

He met his wife, Erin, in Hawaii where she attended the University of Hawaii at Manoa. “She is the most amazing mother to our three children,” he says. “The love and support she provides her family is her greatest quality.”

They are the parents of two girls and one boy. “My daughters compete in gymnastics and it was an absolute blessing to keep them adjusted and watch them compete,” he says.

The family has 12 chickens, two blue nose American pitbulls named Ash and Frankie, and a cat named Schucks.

In addition to spending time with his family, when Dr. Daniel isn’t working, he enjoys boating, recreational shooting, and attending his children's sporting events.

He earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology at Central Michigan University and a Doctorate at Sherman College of Chiropractic in Boiling Springs.

The most memorable experience he ever had as a chiropractor was giving his son an adjustment just minutes after his birth.

Dr. Daniel always keeps avocados on hand.

If he could plan the ideal dinner party including four famous guests, Dr. Daniel would invite:

George Washington - “It would be incredible to sit with the first president and talk about the vision for our wonderful country, including the lessons learned.”
Mickey Mantle - “Although I grew up in the South I am a Yankees fan, and most importantly, a Mickey Mantle fan. What an honor it would be to talk about his accomplishments and contributions to the game of baseball.”
Carroll Shelby - “Since childhood I have had an appreciation for cars, and I find Ford’s racing history and accomplishments fascinating. With the contributions of designer and race car driver Carroll Shelby and the influence he had on Ford’s racing history, I can't think of a better person to chat with about the subject.”
Neil Armstrong - “I remember growing up in Florida watching the space shuttle launches from my house and I have a fascination with everything space related. What an honor it would be to chat with a man who’s been to the moon and listen to the stories he tells.”

The most memorable experience of Dr. Daniel’s life was the birth of his children. “It was at those moments that I realized my potential for love,” he says. His favorite book is Founding Fathers.

If Dr. Daniel wrote an autobiography, it would be entitled A Curvy Road. The best advice he’s ever received is attributed to Thomas Jefferson: “Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you.”

The best advice he could give others is: “Life is short and tomorrow is not guaranteed. Throw caution to the wind and chase your dreams!”

Dr. Teena Rowe became part of The Joint Chiropractic’s team of local healthcare providers in 2022 when she began serving residents in the Asheville area, where she continues doing the work she finds so rewarding.

“The best thing about being in the chiropractic field is being able to give people a better quality of life,” she says. I love putting a smile on people’s faces. I also love promoting health in a holistic way because it can eliminate the amount of toxins we put in our body.”

Dr. Teena, as her patients know her, grew up in Elkhorn City, Ky., but began working in Asheville after getting her doctorate from Sherman College of Chiropractic in Boiling Springs, S.C. She previously earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology at the University of Pikeville in Kentucky.

“My first-ever adjustment was when I started chiropractic school,” she says. “Chiropractic was just something that felt right to me once I started studying it. Through chiropractic, I have helped two-day-old babies with colic, ear infections, constipation, et cetera. I have helped mothers get their baby to turn in the womb to avoid being breeched. I have helped people experiencing urinary incontinence. The options are endless with chiropractic. Each and every day, we get to help people with their quality of life no matter the situation.”

When she’s not working, Dr. Teena spends time with her Chihuahuas, Theodore and Eleanor. She also likes being outside and wants to travel the world.

If she could bring together any four people from history for her ideal dinner party, she would include Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor, and John Deacon. “I’m a Queen fan,” she says.

Her most amazing experience is skydiving. “As crazy as it sounds, it gave me a completely different outlook on life -- in a good way,” she says.

As a member of the Asheville community, Dr. Teena naturally gravitates toward exploring the area’s various craft beers. “When in Rome,” she says.
