Dr. James Riley

Dr. James grew up in nearby Sherwood Park, where he lived an active childhood, playing as many sports and activities as he could. In high school, he narrowed his focus on football and track & field, which led him to play in the CJFL for the Vancouver Island Raiders football team after high school. While playing for the Raiders, he attended Vancouver Island University, where he graduated in 2013 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Physical Education. Through numerous injuries, he was introduced to chiropractic care, which helped him recover and stay on the field. These experiences, combined with an internship at a local clinic, sparked Dr. James' passion for the profession. This sent him across the country to Toronto, to attend the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College where he graduated with a Doctor of Chiropractic degree in 2019.

Having been active all his life and treated by various health and wellness practitioners, Dr. James has a passion for helping others achieve their optimal health and performance. Movement has been a big part of his life and Dr. James brings that perspective to his treatment plans. James has a strong interest in treating golfers, having completed the Titleist Performance Institute Level 1 & 2 medical certifications. The principles of movement analysis can be translated to all sports, as well as in optimizing movement for general activities of daily life. Dr. James has found that a combination of Acupuncture combined with spinal manipulation, Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Therapy, and functional rehab exercises work well to help his patients to feel better and to move more freely. When not working with his patients, Dr. James can be found on the golf course, coaching high school football for the Bev Facey Falcons, or searching for a dog to pet.
