From Athlete to Chiropractor: Dr. James’ Story

I’m Dr. Jonathan James, and my passion for health started long before I ever set foot in a chiropractic classroom. I was born and raised in Staten Island, New York, where I grew up playing multiple sports and always searching for ways to push my mind and body to the next level. From a young age, I was drawn to anything that could improve performance, build resilience, and enhance longevity, not just lifespan, but healthspan.

Chiropractic care played a key role in keeping me strong, mobile, and pain-free as an athlete. That experience sparked a deeper curiosity that led me down a path of continuous learning, first through personal training and fitness leadership, and later through certifications like the Wim Hof Method, which opened new doors to breathwork, cold exposure, and nervous system mastery.

I went on to earn my Bachelor of Science in General Science and my Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic, the birthplace of the profession. My vision with PRVNT Chiropractic & Wellness is to take everything I’ve learned—clinical knowledge, movement science, holistic wellness—and deliver it through a preventative, hands-on model that meets each patient where they are.

At PRVNT, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care. We believe in getting to the root of what’s holding you back—physically, mentally, and neurologically—and helping you restore balance through intentional, personalized treatment. Whether that’s chiropractic adjustments, dry needling, soft tissue therapy, or a customized wellness plan, we’re here to guide you toward sustainable, long-term results.

You’re not just here for pain relief. You’re here to move better, feel stronger, and live with purpose. And I’m here to help you get there.

“Prevention isn’t just a concept—it’s a commitment to who you want to become.”
