Epik Missions derived its name from the Greek word Epikouros, which means to assist or help. An Epik Missions outreach team is composed of Chiropractors, Chiropractic students, and laypeople that want to provide their unique form of care to those in desperate need in developing nations around the world. At this time the West African nation of Ghana is the primary country that is being served.

Dr. Chadwick Hawk is the director of Epik Missions and has extensive experience in conducting and coordinating missions in Central America and Africa. For him, serving his patients in his daily practice or in Ghana is a responsibility he feels God has generously placed on his heart. The response of the indigenous people to Chiropractic care has been nothing short of remarkable. On average 10,000 plus people are able to be educated on the chiropractic lifestyle and receive adjustments on each trip with a team of eight to ten members over a ten-day period.

The results are undeniable. Chiropractic works! It works especially well when people are ready for their adjustment and have no preconceptions or distractions when undergoing Chiropractic care. Of course, the members of the team change as well. Most of them would argue that they get back so much more than what they gave.
