Biography

From the field to the practice.

Dr. Craig James in clinic

A native of Florence, South Carolina, he first experienced chiropractic care as a football player recovering from injuries. That experience sparked a lasting interest in the body, rehabilitation, and the role of individualized care in helping people move forward.

Dr. James earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology from South Carolina State University in 2000, where he also competed as a collegiate quarterback. After injuries interrupted his playing career, he returned as a starting quarterback his senior year, earning team captain honors and the Most Improved Player award.

Following his work at the American Red Cross National Testing Laboratory, he pursued his calling at Life University, earning his Doctor of Chiropractic degree in 2009. He then relocated to the Fort Lauderdale area to begin his career in patient care.

Chiropractic care remains his clinical specialty and a foundation of Better Wellness. His background in musculoskeletal care, sports injury rehabilitation, and personal injury rehabilitation informs the thoughtful, individualized attention he brings to every patient.

Today, Dr. James brings together that foundation and his focus on regenerative wellness to help patients explore new possibilities for their well-being.
