About Us
Dennis L. Banker, DC, DABCO
Dennis Banker was plagued with chronic back pain following a 1973 skiing accident at Schweitzer Mountain in Idaho. After being told that he would just have to “live with the pain” he decided to try a series of treatments from his friend, and tennis partner, who happened to be a chiropractor.
After a few visits to the chiropractor’s office, he felt better than he had in years. It was at that point Dr. Dennis decided to change careers.
Dr. Dennis Banker graduated from Central Washington University in 1971 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology. Soon following graduation, he became certified as a medical technologist and supervised the hospital laboratory in Prosser, WA. Deciding in a career change, he enrolled at Western States Chiropractic College and received his Doctor of Chiropractic degree in 1981. His first practice was located in Hermiston, OR. In 1991, Dr. Dennis completed a three-year long course of study and passed the national board exams to obtain his Diplomate of the American Board of Chiropractic Orthopedists degree.
Dr. Dennis has been practicing in Wenatchee, WA since 1994. His love of the outdoors makes the Wenatchee area an ideal place for him and his wife Barb to call home. When Dr. Dennis is not in the office, he can be found hiking, camping, fishing and hunting in the surrounding areas.
Eric L. Banker, DC, CCSP
Dr. Eric Banker has grown up with chiropractic being a major part of his life since before he can remember. He was three years old when his father, Dr. Dennis Banker, graduated from chiropractic college. At a very young age he would often spend time at his father’s office, fascinated while looking at the anatomy text books. One of his most significant benefits of chiropractic care was being treated for exercise induced asthma to compete in the running leg of Wenatchee’s Ridge to River Relay race. There was never any doubt what he wanted his career to be.
Dr. Eric graduated from Central Washington University in 2000 with a degree in Biology. He immediately went into studying chiropractic at Western States Chiropractic College in Portland, OR. Dr. Eric joined his father treating patients in Wenatchee in 2004.
Dr. Eric’s love of sports of all kinds led him to further his studies in sports specific injuries. In 2010, he became a board certified sports physician with the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians. Since then he has worked with the local Wenatchee Valley Rams football and Apple City Roller Derby teams. Dr. Eric and his wife Angela have a daughter, Emma. On the weekends, the three of them can be found at church, hiking, and camping in Central Washington.
