Dr James Peterson

Dr. James has always had a strong interest in living a healthy lifestyle and in helping those around him. Building on his personal experience as a chiropractic patient, Dr. James began shadowing the chiropractor for whom his wife worked. He decided that a career in chiropractic would allow him to help others achieve optimal health.

“It was great – I was able to ask a lot of questions. I saw how nutrition and chiropractic go hand in hand.”

Dr. James decided to pursue historic Palmer College of Chiropractic, where chiropractic began.

“I learned a lot there, and there’s lots of history. It was great to be taught by people who learned all they know from the founders of chiropractic.”

Now he devotes his career to teaching people the importance of maintaining good health through chiropractic. Dr. James particularly focuses on the youngest members of the Springfield community. He is currently working toward his certification through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA), so he can serve his young practice members and their families even better.
