Specialty:
"Dr. James Whillans is a neurologically focused chiropractor in Kelowna, BC, and the owner of LifeWorks Family Chiropractic. He earned his Doctor of Chiropractic from Life University in Atlanta, Georgia, and has spent about 20 years helping families across the Okanagan feel and function at their best. Rather than chasing symptoms, Dr. James looks for the underlying cause, whether it’s in a joint, a muscle, or the nervous system. Every new patient receives a thorough assessment, including computerized nerve scans and on-site X-rays when needed, so care is based on measurable findings. Trained in 11 adjusting techniques, he tailors each adjustment to the person in front of him. Patients can choose gentle instrument-based methods such as Torque Release Technique, Activator, and Koren Specific Technique, or hands-on approaches including Diversified, Thompson Drop, upper cervical, and extremity adjusting. His gentle methods make care comfortable for infants, children, and pregnant women. He is Webster Certified, and his patients range from pregnant moms and newborns to people in their 90s. LifeWorks also offers Class IV laser therapy, spinal decompression, acupuncture, holistic bodywork, and a dedicated peripheral neuropathy program. Emergency appointments are available. Above all, Dr. James treats every patient with dignity and respect.
2026 Highlights: LifeWorks became a Certified Peripheral Neuropathy Treatment Centre and launched free neuropathy workshops for the Kelowna community, pairing Class IV laser therapy with neurologically focused chiropractic care for people living with numbness, tingling, or burning in their feet."
