James knew from an early age that he wanted to work in healthcare.
His grandfather (a long-time fan of Chiropractic) suggested to James that Chiropractic should be an area for consideration. This conversation resulted in James observing at a Chiropractic clinic whilst still at school.
It was this experience that led to James’ appreciation of the benefits that Chiropractic has to offer. Having seen the profound, often rapid improvements that an accurate diagnosis combined with the appropriate care can have, James’ career path was forged.
James takes a holistic yet functional-based approach, with a strong bias towards evidence-based practice. His patients regularly comment on his caring, thorough and professional approach, and he gets great reviews.
He graduated from the Welsh Institute of Chiropractic with a Masters Degree in Chiropractic, and continually furthers his knowledge and skill by attending regular seminars and post-graduate training events. Like all the Chiropractors at Riviera Wellbeing, James is registered with the General Chiropractic Council and British Chiropractic Association.
My goal as a Chiropractor is to help those seeking to improve their wellbeing. By providing an accurate diagnosis of the cause of their issues, pro-active hands-on care, and sensible and achievable lifestyle advice, I feel privileged that I am in a position to have a positive effect on so many lives...
