Meet Dr. James Sheaffer
Greetings from Dr. Sheaffer!
I was two years into my undergraduate education at York College and I still had no idea what I wanted to do with myself. I was pretty sure I wanted to be in the health field someplace although I was not drawn to traditional medicine at all. I had no idea what chiropractors did until I met a chiropractor in a local gym. He shared with me what a vertebral subluxation was and how many people he was helping with chiropractic adjustments. He explained that he was helping lots of little kids and families without drugs!
I’ve been a Yorker all my life! After graduating from York Catholic H.S. and York College of PA, I then came back to York after attending the oldest and I believe the best chiropractic college in the world, Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, IA. My educational experience there was exceptional since I got to study in the same place where Chiropractic was discovered and developed. I’ve also developed numerous lifelong friendships with my classmates.

Additional Training
Since graduation I’ve taken additional courses in Wellness, Pediatrics, Pregnancy related conditions, Geriatrics and sports injuries and “The 100 Year Lifestyle.” I am also a Certified Chiropractic Extremity Practitioner (knees, ankles, shoulders, etc.) and certified in the Webster Technique. Today we take care of multi-generational families from infants to elderly and more and more patients are choosing a chiropractic wellness lifestyle!
Outside the Office
The most important people in my life are my perfect wife, Laura, and my awesome kids, Lindsay and Andrew. Lindsay is training to become an licensed Occupational Therapist and Andrew is attending Penn State University Park and will be heading off to chiropractic college. My wife Laura, who also grew up in York, and I met shortly after I graduated from chiropractic college. Laura is a successful real estate agent in York County.
It does take some work to stay healthy. The things I do for myself to help achieve optimal health are chiropractic adjustments, twice per week or more for an optimal nerve system, weight training at the South York Gold’s Gym 4 times per week, cardio exercise of some kind 6-7 days per week, fresh veggies and fruits daily, as well as a variety of supplements. Most importantly I maintain a positive outlook and I continue to educate myself about health and wellness.
