ABOUT ME
Dr. James O'Rourke
Chiropractic Physician
I have been a practicing chiropractor since 1989 when I graduated Logan College of Chiropractic in St. Louis, MO. I returned home to Cinnaminson, NJ where I spent several years with Cherry Hill Chiropractic working both in Cherry Hill and their other satellite offices including South Shore Medical Center in Marmora. At the end of my employment there in 1993, I decided that I wanted to stay in Cape May County and later had the opportunity to purchase Ocean View Chiropractic on February 9, 1994. Since then, our office has grown out of its space multiple times, leading to three moves within the county. Since 2001, I have been located in Seaville at our Hope Corson Road office with my wife Shannon and our 3 children. I have been blessed to be so involved in the community, working with local athletes of all levels. I have also had the privilege of being the Chiropractic Physician for the Ocean City Nor'Easters soccer club.
MY APPROACH
Your Past, Your Present, Your Future
When I first start working with a patient, I want to know where they are coming from. Together, we evaluate their history, walk through their past traumas, talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly. From there, I like to know about my patient's current status; we talk about diet, exercise, stressors, sleep cycle. This is the first step towards an in-depth patient understanding, an analysis, if you will, that prepares us to start paving the path to the full-body wellness we are striving for.
​
A popular question I usually ask a patient is "where do you see yourself in 20 years?" This allows us to determine what health goals are most important to them and gives us both something to aim for. What do you want your body to be able to do 20 years from now? Do you want to still be active, be comfortable in your daily work, be able to keep up with your family members? Let's stop dreaming it and start achieving it.
Together.
