Introducing Bowie Chiropractor Dr. James Holding

While pursuing my undergraduate degree, I received a serious athletic injury and was told my only option was to have back surgery. That’s when I was introduced to chiropractic.

I was skeptical, but to my surprise, the results were phenomenal and I knew I had found my calling. I immediately set my course to become a Doctor of Chiropractic so I could help others as I was helped.

After completing my internship, I set out to gain as much clinical experience as possible. After working as an Associate Doctor at one of the largest clinics in Southern Maryland, I established myself in solo practice in Bowie, MD.

Having been a competitive open water swimmer and tri-athlete previously, I pursued Board Certification in Sports Injury Evaluation and Treatment. This has given me the special privilege to treat some of the world’s top athletes.

However, my greatest asset is the tremendous team that we have at the Holding Sports Injury Clinic. They are the “backbone” of the quality care we provide to our patients. Not a day goes by without compliments from someone about this unique group of dedicated individuals. May I invite you to give them a call so you can see first hand?

Dr. James Asks some important questions of interest to Bowie residents - Chiropractor Bowie Dr. James Asks...

Do chiropractors prescribe medications for the pain?
No. Chiropractic is a drug-free approach to better health. Instead, we rely on natural methods. We can show you how to use ice to control pain. When properly applied, ice can have an analgesic effect without the unwanted and sometimes dangerous effects of pain medications.
Which organs are extra?
You don't have any spare parts. Sure, we can survive without our tonsils, appendix, gall bladder and several other tissues, but each serves a purpose. We chiropractors recognize this. So the chiropractic approach I use in Bowie is to reduce nerve interferences to the control and regulation of every tissue, organ and system of your body.
