Ashley:
Three periods of my life, I have had to rely on the services of a
physical therapist and chiropractor, for recovery from hard and
soft tissue injury.
I've seen the good, and the "Other!" Having had both experiences, Dr.
Maia James has been one of the most thorough and complete in both
fields.
Once I was treated by sports therapist and chiropractor. He took over a
practice of a retiring therapist, who spent little or no time with me,
let alone lending guidance in my exercises or long term recovery. Upon
assuming the sold physical
therapy practice, the other therapist took me through the whole
gammet, to completion. He came with a background of rehabilitation
for some on the Seattle
Seahawks, and
Washington State University football teams. This is the same
caliber of Dr. Maia James!
Dr. James is nothing short of complete, thorough, and most of all
competent. In a world of sharks and charlatans, competence is key. I
would and do highly recommend Dr. Maia James, and the staff of Embrace
Health for complete rehabilitation.
Sincerely,

Dr James,
I have been a migraine sufferer for most of my adult life.
In September, 2006, I was suffering from migraine headaches every day and using a pain relief medicine, Maxalt. Maxalt helped the day of the headache, but the next day the headache returned.
Health insurance only provided for 12 pills per month so I was at the mercy of my primary care doctor for samples. I always feared I wouldn’t have enough medication to last the month.
Being an advocate of physical exercise I was enrolled in Pilates and coincidentally was introduced to Dr. Maia James. When I mentioned the chronic problem I had with headaches she indicated she may be able to help.
Following a consultation with her I began a 10 day program of detoxification to eliminate toxins from my system which were thought to contribute to migraines. Through the program I was able to isolate foods that I was allergic to and eliminate them from my daily diet. Coinciding with detox she began a regimen of deep tissue massage with soft adjustment to the back and neck to alleviate muscle tension and improve blood circulation to the head.
It is now 6 months later and my health has improved dramatically! I still get an occasional headache but the severity and frequency have substantially diminished.
Now, I can actually say there is more than ½ the number of pills remaining from my prescription each month.

Dr James,
Just wanted
to thank you again for your treatment the other day (Wednesday). It
really helped a lot. It was not until after the visit that I realized
how stressed out the accident had made me so I apologize if I sounded
frustrated when I first got to the office. Having just finished being
treated for a back problem in July due to an uninsured driver hitting me
last February I may have been in a better mood! Your treatment style is
great and I will definitely recommend you whenever I can."

For a whole year I experienced headache pain on a daily basis. Even after over $7000 worth of tests and various doctors, the cause was still unknown. That is, until I contacted Dr. Maia James for consultation and therapy. Due to a neck injury from years ago I suffered with spasms, limited rotation, and an arthritic condition. Fortunately after a few weeks with massage and manipulation I am thankfully pain and headache free. I cannot express enough thanks to Dr. James and her staff for improving my general health and getting me back on the road to recovery! Vickie R. I am an interior designer in San Francisco and recently started my own design When I first came to see Dr. James 60
days ago, I shared with her my list of ailments and complaints ranging from chronic neck
and back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, a broken-out face, and an overall complete lack of
energy and vitality. She asked me to rate my aches and pains on a scale of 1 to 10, 10
being childbirth or kidney stones. I gave myself a 6-7 rating.
Dr. Maia James I’m a middle age woman residing in a religious community. My active life encompasses a wide range of activities including gardening, doing field work at our retreat center, hauling things around in general, computer work, etc. I’ve had a chronic upper back problem involving a rib or two that tend to rotate out of place causing muscle spasms and pain. A few years ago I developed phlebitis in my left arm resulting in scar tissue formation. The adhesions were causing my hand to go numb, sometimes waking me several times a night. Over the years I have been helped by chiropractic adjustments. However, last September I started being treated by Dr. Maia James. She carefully analyzed the problem and through her patient, skillful treatment, Dr. James has alleviated the numbness almost completely. She has helped me tremendously I’m very grateful to her for her genuine caring attitude and the help I have received, not only with my arm but with my body in general. Her knowledgeable holistic approach, including giving exercises for home use, suggesting dietary supplements, if appropriate, and explanations of the treatment and follow-up care are not only helpful, but indicative of a doctor that is fully engaged in her patient’s treatment.
