From being in a wheelchair to using a walker to now just using a cane at times!!
…I was diagnosed with functional neurological disorder…. I was then bound to a wheelchair due to losing feelings in my legs……. I had been to a physiotherapist, but it wasn’t going as good as I hoped… At Life Works, I was welcomed with open arms, compassion, sensitivity, and a will to listen to my story. I believe that without Dr. James’s help, I would be nowhere near where I am today and that he did change my life…

I wish I lived here. I couldn't come all the time.
…I am from Dawson Creek; it takes about a 12-hour drive to reach Kelowna. ….I was following Dr. Bergman, and he said to find a chiropractor that does at least seven of the things that he does… … and you did all of them… The soreness has gone, and I’m really happy to see my neck going proper compared to what it was… …….. I’m really happy…

I wish I lived here. I couldn't come all the time.
Lifeworks Family Chiropractic comes here with Jody, one of our patients, miracle of the month… ……we had to record Jody’s monitor care here for maybe about four months or so… He’s been under what we call a corrective care plan… We just reviewed that Jody had interference in the nerves in his upper neck and his lower back,…. When Jody first came in and he lay down, his head was always up. He wouldn’t really relax, and his parents noticed that that had improved after a few weeks of adjustments. …He’s got way more concentration at the cash register, ninety percent less dizziness, and better hearing……Jody, before chiropractic, was going to the bathroom, having a bowel movement once every three weeks, and now every single day that’s cool…

I should have come here a long time ago, but... it feels more normal
I had a problem there with the scoliosis, and that created a lot of other areas that were not functioning too well, so I was kind of trying to adjust my body because it’s really pulling me onto one side, and it created a tiredness and all… I’ve been coming here for a year… the first time, but I know that when I have any kind of adjustment or even a massage, my body reacts to it, and so sometimes I have to… the environment that Lifeworks has here is very much so, and everybody is extremely friendly, and I get the best service here. I go home with a smile on my face and a big hug from Dr. James… I’m a little bit older than I should be. I should have come here a long time ago, but… it feels more normal. I kind of feel very nice, and he kind of knows where to touch you, where to do the adjustment…

I recommend that everyone think chiropractic is awesome
Having burning feet… ..It was an awful feeling, incredible burning, and then I went to my family doctor. She was sent to a specialist, and all the testing at the end couldn’t find the problem and decided that Marianna was all in her head. Chiropractors, like all medical professionals, have their own speciality. Ours is interference in the nerves. I found interference in Mary. ……..the pain began to subside not even a month off; I could sleep through the night, and then it came once in a while, a little bit burning, but just for a half a minute, and it was fine … if I recall, it was after just the first few adjustments you mentioned that it started to get better …The other thing that was really neither came up was that Mariana was mentioned; she was having a pain and pressure in her chest in the morning ………. Now it’s all gone. That’s gone, yes ……. I recommend that everyone think chiropractic is awesome…

I can function; I have no more migraines
I have massive migraines and nerve damage…….. I’ve had, gosh, a lot of damage with my nerve. I couldn’t pick up stuff; I couldn’t hold things; I would have to take two or three naps throughout the day; I couldn’t sustain a full workday… from Lifeworks Family Chiropractics… … …I’ve been able to take the next step in my career and actually take a bit bigger position. I can function; I have no more migraines; I can move… I can breathe again, which is amazing…
It was that fast, that immediate, and she hasn't had an ear infection
..my daughter got chronic ear infections. My daughter, very shortly after we started coming to the chiropractor, started getting an ear infection… She wasn’t able to hear her…………… so I got her right in to see Dr. James right after school, so I brought her here. She cried the whole way here; her ears were in so much pain. She got an adjustment, and she was teaching me the song they learnt at school on the way home. It was that fast, that immediate, and she hasn’t had an ear infection.
Coming here and getting adjusted and getting his body straightened out, he hasn't had to take medicines
I was taking a lot of medicines like Nexium and Zantac. I was taking two puffs twice a day of a steroid for an allergy that was for his asthma… …….had acid reflux problems and was taking adult dosages of Nexium……..for about three years…..when he was younger as well; we just got tired of all the medicines…….he’s cut them all out……… He used to wake up in the mornings before we were giving them Nexium… ……..cry for a half hour every morning………. Coming here and getting adjusted and getting his body straightened out, he hasn’t had to take medicines; he gets up every morning; he has energy like a normal kid again.

We have seen some good chiropractic benefits … 8 months later he had a few reactions
We first brought our kids to chiropractic for health reasons; the main reason was a lot of digestive issues, food allergies, and food sensitivities. …Some friends of ours had had really good benefits with chiropractic with reflux and food allergies… Liam, he has, he had a lot of food sensitivities and food allergies, which would cause severe cramping at night, and he’d be out for 12 hours straight, and it was really bad and really painful ………but we have seen some good chiropractic benefits … 8 months later he had a few reactions, but maybe, I don’t know, two or three.

We come to Dr. James because of his friendly, loving spirit
For my children, the chiropractic experience has been phenomenal. We have had a record of very few illnesses in the last six years… no antibiotics, which I really like… We come to Dr. James because of his friendly, loving spirit. He has known our family for the last six years. Dr. James… ……. It’s about the relationship that he’s built with us, and that’s why …… I would share my experiences on having fewer illnesses in our family, having just an all-round better experience as a child … …. I’m able to help my children be their best and as healthy as they can be… ….. I think our purpose as parents is giving our children their best care for health.

"I'm wearing shoes again. I'm walking five kilometres a day. I can ride a bike now; it's just amazing
Stella had a car accident seven years ago… “I’d wake up three in the morning with a massive migraine just totally bedridden and also had the low back pain which meant that I could hardly get out of bed and…….just sharp shooting pain and as the years went on then it started to develop down in my toes that the toes wouldn’t bend anymore so I wasn’t able to walk or wear shoes or boots… …. I went to the parks, and you were doing a talk on wellness, and I went to the one-hour presentation. I did the testing with you, and it started treatment. We started chiropractic care two months ago and have already noticed improvements. ”I’m wearing shoes again. I’m walking five kilometres a day. I can ride a bike now; it’s just amazing. Santa’s doing all the healing; she’s healing because her nerves are working better.

In the chiropractic care, the first improvement that I saw was pain going away
“I started chiropractic; my lower back killed me, and I had trouble sleeping, driving…. I came to a chiropractor … …Before chiropractic, I tried stretching; I tried sleeping in different positions; I tried adjusting my seat differently, but nothing really seemed to work…. In the chiropractic care, the first improvement that I saw was pain going away. I felt my sleeping improved, which made me feel better; driving was a lot more comfortable for met…… I’ve had better bladder control. I’ve had fewer headaches, just the little things that I never really linked to chiropractic. So I would suggest testing it; I don’t think it’d hurt to try it out and see if it works for you or not.

13 Years an Asthma sufferer
“(My son) Jacob…was classified as a ‘happy wheezier’ until age 2 (he had) full blown asthma. Doctor visits, hospital stays, asthma medication…He was at maximum dosage (for his asthma)…I heard a chiropractor could do something and eliminate asthma…After finding a chiropractor (LifeWorks) there was no more asthma, after 2 weeks I stopped all medications! (Chiropractic) has opened up his future tremendously after experiencing so many years of his childhood dealing with it…I understand your kid could be checked after birth and I would suggest it be looked upon as regular care.…If anything does come up…get to your chiropractor. (Jacob) does not have any issues anymore.”

Pain!! Who Likes It??
“I lived in pain 24 hours/day, 7 days a week! In my early 20’s I was a passenger in a car … where I had whiplash…I am now 50 yrs. old and I have seen doctors, pharmacists, chiropractors, message therapists, just about anyone that I thought would help.
