James’s Story

Dr James Harrison is principal Chiropractor, director and owner at Connective Chiropractic.

After he was diagnosed with Viral Encephalitis, James changed his career path from lawyer to Chiropractor after seeing the benefits of Chiropractic treatment as part of his care. He states that his experience became much more than just a method of treating pain, but a way of gradually fitting back the pieces of the puzzle after not having been as healthy as he could have been.

When he is not serving people as Principal Chiropractor at Connective Chiropractic, James is an expert witness for the Chiropractic profession and teaches Masters of Chiropractic students and final year interns at the McTimoney College of Chiropractic (BPP University, now owned by the College of Health Ltd and accredited by the University of Ulster) and graduates as a Post Registration Trainer with the Royal College of Chiropractors. James also sat more recently on the council of RAMP (The Register of Animal Musculoskeletal Practitioners) until the start of 2025 when he enrolled on a masters degree for Healthcare Leadership with the University of Warwick.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been seeing James for monthly chiropractic treatment for years. He is always welcoming and kind. James is very thorough with my care and makes adjustments where they are needed. When I leave, I feel another foot taller and ready to conquer the world

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. James has been vital in gaining confidence after trying to manage 2 bulging discs in my lower back in my own, after 2 years of the NHS ignoring my concerns and telling me the pain isnt as bad as I say it is whilst i slowly lost all of my fitness and strength and put limitations on my life to avoid pain. His approach is completely holistic, taking into account the wider impact in other areas of my life like work and self care, and helping me understand whats going on and work more with my body. I was scared when I went to see him first, but he put me at ease incredibly quickly and that meant the world to my recovery. Cannot recommend him highly enough!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The whole team are absolutely delightful. James, the chiropractor treating me, set me immediately at ease and, from our first meeting,  made it very clear that, as his patient, my needs were important. He listened to me, at no point did I ever feel rushed, trivialised or pressured to disclose any information I didn’t wish to. He is more genuine, kind, professional and proficient than I even knew was possible and any person fortunate enough to be treated by him, literally could not be in better hands.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have both chiropractor  and sports massage appointments here. The clinic is so well kept in terms of the decor and ambiance. 10/10 for that . The team are all incredibly friendly. They always try to accommodate me appointment wise if I need an emergency one or need to move it. And of all the several sports massage practitioners I’ve had over the years as someone formerly in the fitness industry - Sam is by far the best I’ve ever had. Always leave feeling fixed.  Highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A great and welcoming team that have your wellbeing at heart.  James has worked wonders with the information given and his own assessment... to take me from shying from some exercises for fear of setting my back off (or actually setting it off) to now, back to regular exercise, hiking, and even a bit of mountain climbing.  Always professional and genuinely wants to see you reach your goals.  I would recommend James to anyone hampered by niggles, old injuries or just the pains and strains of getting older.
