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.
