Atlas Chiropractic

Atlas Chiropractic Chiropractors use adjustments to restore joint function and support the nervous system. He lives in Westfield with his wife Kathy and their dog Ernesto.

They help patients maintain optimal health while avoiding unnecessary drugs or surgery. After graduation from high School Dr Jim did a two year hitch in the U.S. Army where he was trained as a medic and became interested in the medical field. After discharge from the Army he entered an Associate in Science in Respiratory Therapy Program. Upon graduation he worked for 3 years as a Respiratory Thera

pist in the Hospital setting but became disillusioned with the medical profession. Having developed an interest in weight training in high school that had stuck with him through the years he decided to go into the fitness business. He owned and operated two fitness facilities over a 10 year period, U.S.A. Gym in Westfield, and Super Fitness in West Springfield and during that time was introduced to Chiropractic. He sold his businesses in 1989 and went to Chiropractic school at the age of 38. He Graduated from Life Chiropractic College in Marieta, Georgia in 1995 and then opened an office in Mobile, Alabama. After one year in Mobile he returned to MA and worked as an associate for another year. He opened Atlas Chiropractic in West Springfield in 1997 and moved the office 3 miles down the road to Holyoke in September 2007. Dr. Jim developed an intense interest in low force "tonal" techniques while at Life Chiropractic College (Life University) and over the years has done a great deal of additional training in Network Spinal Analysis, in Atlas orthogonal Technique, in Sacro-Occipital technique, in Thompson Technique, in Logan basic Technique, in Activator technique and in Toffness Technique. By combining some or all these techniques he has developed his own unique conservative method of restoring normal Spinal alignment and neural integrity. His burning desire is to introduce as many people as possible to the miracle of Chiropractic. His key to success is to follow your heart and do what you love. His hobbies are motorcycles and fitness. Something no one knows about him is that he was 1979 New England States Power-lifting Champion and 1984 New England's strongest man runner up.

We're honored to share this kind testimonial from one of our valued patient...

My pastor once explained faith in a way that truly stayed with me: faith is not only believing in the promise, but also trusting in the One who made it. It means asking, Is He able to fulfill His promise? And will He follow through? God is all-powerful, and He is more than able to do what He says. He is also unchanging and faithful to His Word. Trusting Him is the safest path any of us can take.

I was led to Dr. James McCann and his incredible team during a very difficult time in my life. For six years, I struggled with mobility issues. From our very first session, Dr. McCann was able to clearly identify both the cause and the path toward treatment. The results were remarkable; I walked into the office using a walker and left walking unassisted.

We are continuing the process, and I am steadily improving. I placed my trust in God, believing that by His stripes I am healed, and I am so grateful for the role Dr. McCann and his compassionate staff have played as instruments in that journey.

Thank you for your care, support, and dedication. May God continue to guide and bless you. All glory to Him.

We're honored to share this kind testimonial from one of our valued patient...

I have been with this practice for about a year now. When I first came in, I was very sick. I was experiencing severe tension and pain in my neck, shoulders, and lower back. I had constant brain fog, daily headaches, difficulty concentrating, and problems with my memory. It was a very hard year trying to recover.

Today, I feel so much better. I still have occasional shoulder pain and some tension in my back from time to time, but I am able to live a normal life again. I can enjoy physical activities like skiing and biking. I am able to travel by plane and handle long car rides with minimal pain. My mind feels clear, and my memory has significantly improved. I no longer forget simple things, like why I opened the refrigerator.

The entire practice has been incredibly supportive. They have accommodated me for emergency visits whenever I needed them. The doctor always listens carefully and pays attention to my concerns. Yamira has been especially kind and responsive, she even prayed for me when I was feeling hopeless and crying in pain.
I am truly grateful for the care and compassion I have received over the past year.

We’re honored to share this kind testimonial from one of our valued patients 💙

I arrived at Dr. McCann’s office in November 2025 broken-hearted, breathless, and feeling hopeless. In June of last year, I had been diagnosed with a lung disease and a connective tissue disorder. After months of heavy medication and rehabilitation, my health remained in limbo. The constant fluctuations left me uncomfortable, depressed, lethargic, and melancholy.
It was not until a visit with Dr. McCann, along with the assistance and prayers from Yamira, that things began to change. Slowly, my health, hope, and happiness started to return. I suddenly began to feel better my strength and confidence grew like a ray of sunshine breaking through the clouds.

I can honestly say that the care and pride Dr. McCann puts into his practice is incomparable. I am deeply thankful for all that he and his team do. Being in this office feels like being touched by something truly anointed. I truly believe the Creator was working through Dr. McCann.
I am so grateful for the day I decided to include chiropractic care as part of my road to recovery. My hope is that everyone who walks through the doors of this practice will experience the same success, joy, and victory that I have.

Thank you for all that you do.
Blessed Love!
