Meet Dr. Jim Claussen
Dr. Jim’s holistic approach to patient care extends beyond the ordinary chiropractor. He not only adjusts the physical body but also supports the emotional aspect of subluxation. With over 25 years of studying and learning from experts all over the world, Dr. Jim provides whole-body care for his patients.
Getting Started in Chiropractic
Dr. Jim began his journey toward health and personal growth after dislocating his shoulder six times as a young adult. This gave him exposure to several chiropractors and planted the seed for a future career in the healthcare field. He later became a personal trainer and athletic trainer, with an interest in exercise, physiology and nutrition. He is a people person who enjoys working with his hands, which led him to simultaneously pursue a degree at the National College of Chiropractic, where he graduated in 1994. He continued his post-doctorate studies under other professionals to bring the highest quality of healthcare to his patients.
Approach to Care
Dr. Jim sees symptoms as a way for the body, mind and spirit to communicate what it needs. By decoding these symptoms, he is able to provide patients with treatment plans that accommodate the whole-person not just one aspect of them. He adjusts more than your spine, he adjusts your mind and spirit which create the opportunity for your body to take good care of itself and regrow stronger, healthier and more vital. Nowhere is this more apparent than in his work with children where he has witnessed drastic results. From soothing inconsolable babies with colic to stopping chronic ear infections to seeing neural regeneration, Dr. Jim’s unique chiropractic care has provided hope to families where hope has been lost. Through his use of chiropractic care, muscle response testing and hands-on, non-forceful energy balancing techniques, Dr. Claussen brings a deeper level of healing and consciousness by re-establishing the full healing potential of the body. Understanding that the body makes no mistakes regarding health and longevity, B.E.S.T. principles acknowledge the concept of interference we create with our conscious mind. This interference causes imbalances in the autonomic nervous system, leading to exhaustion of our organ systems over time.
