Meet Dr. James Barrass
I was aware of the great benefits of chiropractic treatment even in my childhood. My brother and I use to wrestle. One day I managed to get him in a head lock and twisted his head a bit. We both heard a large pop and he couldn’t move his neck...at all! Dad took him to the chiropractor and when he came home all was well. He hasn’t let me forget! Now whenever I am near his neck, it is for the purpose of providing him with a healing adjustment.
This August I will have been in practice for 28 years. Yet, in my mind, one particular success story stands out: I once treated a three-day-old baby. Her neck was twisted and stuck to the left as a result of coming through the birth canal. Within two hours after an extremely gentle adjustment, the father called and told me her neck was freed up and mobile. What a feeling!
I love what I do and try to see each patient as the unique individual that they truly are. A patient is not just a spine but rather an individual aspiring to achieve their goals, as well as their families’ dreams and goals. Each person has a heart, feelings and emotions that can impact their recovery. I particularly enjoy seeing patients return to a favorite activity that they gave up because of pain. Now they are thrilled to be back in the saddle.
As your partner in wellness, I believe that stress is the number one cause of today’s disease. It may be emotional/mental stress from the job, it may be biochemical/genetic stress that causes allergies or it may be structural/physical stress that is a result of sitting at the computer hour after hour.
I consider it an honor to participate in your individual healing. It’s a team effort, you and me. I look forward to proving you with my years of experience treating not only musculoskeletal conditions but many others as well. I look forward to our chance to meet.
