Introducing Our Kelowna Chiropractors

Meet Dr. James Whillans, DC

Kelowna Chiropractor, Dr. James WhillansI thought I was healthy until I got under regular chiropractic care. As a teenager I went to see my mother’s chiropractor about elbow pains I was having from sports. With chiropractic adjustments, my elbow pain went away as expected but what really blew me away was that my "normal headaches" cleared up, I didn’t get sick as often and I had more energy than ever before! I knew that this was how I would spend the rest of my life... Helping others reach their health potential through the gift of chiropractic!

I attended a chiropractic school that taught a great variety of adjusting techniques. I graduated magna cum laude from the largest chiropractic school in the world, Life University near Atlanta, Georgia.

The foundation of our philosophy here at LifeWorks Family Chiropractic is the premise that the body is fully capable of running itself, including healing us when we get sick. Through chiropractic care, our primary objective is to help your body heal naturally, from within. By far, the most satisfying aspect of practicing chiropractic is seeing lives change!

One of the best parts of going to Chiropractic College was meeting my chiropractor, Dr. Nicole! She checks my spine regularly to make sure I am always at my best. We love living, working and playing together here in beautiful Kelowna. When we’re not in the office we take time to hike in the mountains, enjoy Okanagan wines, and I love to play soccer.

Enough about me! How can we help you with today’s chiropractic care? Give us a call so we can help you take your first step towards better health.


Meet Dr. Nicole Barbary, DC

Kelowna Chiropractor, Dr. Nicole BarbaryI was told it was just a "phase" I was going through… My parents and even my doctor said that at 15 years old I was ‘too young for back problems’. However, the reality was several times each day for months, I was having excruciating back spasms.

I finally convinced my family to take me to a chiropractor and found someone who could help! Only a few visits later I was rid of the spasms forever, but something more remarkable happened… I recognized how much better my whole body felt after being adjusted. Over the next 2 years of regular ‘maintenance’ adjustments, my ASTHMA WENT AWAY! I never told my chiropractor I had asthma, nor did I go there hoping it would go away. Simply because my body was able to function better, it healed itself as it is designed to do! The nerves going to my lungs can now send proper signals and I have not used an inhaler in over 10 years!

After experiencing a childhood full of antibiotics, inhalers, Aspirin and Tylenol I discovered a totally drug free lifestyle with chiropractic care. I now feel empowered to share what I know with people here in Kelowna.

Our bodies are designed for healthy, VIBRANT living… as long as we can stay out of its way! That’s what chiropractic helps to remove, our own daily interference and irritations to our bodies. Without interference, we function at a much higher level, and can do the things we LOVE! When I’m not in the office you can usually find me out playing with and training horses. In fact, sometimes I even adjust the horses to make sure THEY’RE at their best too!

I consider myself an excellent listener and hope I get the opportunity to meet you in person and discuss your specific health goals. Give our office a call or email me with the link below.
