Chiropractor and Applied Kinesiologist
For over 50 years, Dr. Baker has helped patients improve their health naturally through chiropractic care, nutrition, kinesiology, and functional wellness.
Dr. James R. Baker, DC, IME is a chiropractor and applied kinesiologist who utilizes a variety of holistic methods to help patients restore their health naturally. With training in functional neurology, biochemistry, acupressure meridian therapies, applied kinesiology, nutrition, and lifestyle modification, Dr. Baker takes a whole body approach to wellness focused on identifying and addressing the root cause of health concerns.
Over the years, Dr. Baker has worked with a wide range of patients, including athletes, music legends, models, and families seeking natural solutions for pain and chronic health issues.
“My philosophy is to find the cause of the health problem or injury than merely just addressing the symptoms.”
Dr. Baker understands that symptoms can often originate from imbalances elsewhere in the body. For example, knee pain may stem from muscle imbalances, improper footwear, poor nutrition, or physical stress rather than the knee itself. By looking deeper into the body’s function, he creates personalized care plans designed to support long term healing and wellness.
Dr. Baker received his undergraduate degree from the University of California at Chico and earned his chiropractic degree from Logan Chiropractic University in St. Louis, Missouri.
