About Ellis Chiropractic
Dr. Keven Ellis was first introduced to Chiropractic when he was 7 years old. At that time his mother began her chiropractic education at Texas Chiropractic College. From that point on, chiropractic became a part of his life. It was during his freshman year of college that he decided, working behind a desk in the “business world”, was not for him. Shortly thereafter he completed his pre-medical requirement and was enrolled at Texas Chiropractic College. After graduating from chiropractic college, Dr. Ellis became an associate doctor with Dr. Mark J. Davis in Clear Lake, TX. Coincidentally, this was the same doctor that his mother first associated with following her completion of chiropractic college.
Dr. Ellis has been married to Shelli Cox Ellis since 1993 and they have three children and three grandchildren. They moved to Lufkin in 1998 and have enjoyed becoming actively involved in the community and their church.​
​
Since 1998, Dr. Keven Ellis has been committed to providing the highest standard of chiropractic care to the Lufkin community—offering personalized treatments and consistently achieving exceptional results. With a focus on identifying and correcting vertebral subluxations that can disrupt nervous system function, Dr. Ellis helps patients restore balance, relieve pain, and improve overall health through safe, non-invasive techniques.
In addition to traditional chiropractic care, the clinic offers advanced cervical and lumbar spinal decompression therapy, a highly effective, non-surgical treatment for disc-related back and neck pain. Through a specialized division of the practice, East Texas Drug Testing, patients can also access DOT physicals, drug and alcohol testing, and other occupational health services—all under one roof.
With more than two decades of experience and a reputation built on trust and results, Ellis Chiropractic remains a leading provider of holistic spinal care in East Texas.
