Dr. James Peterson has been in practice since 2012. The move to Missouri was made to complete an internship after finishing his education at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. He was with the Breath of Life Wellness Center for four years before branching out into his own office. Our biggest successes are when a mom visits Thrive Family Chiropractic, LLC and tells us that her child's chronic ear infections are gone.
When he was growing up, Dr. James became fascinated by the human body and nutrition. Along with six older brothers and two younger sisters, he lived a holistic, healthy lifestyle that included chiropractic care. At age 16, he took the initiative to do something unheard of by a teenager - he stopped eating all fast food and started thinking about becoming a nutritionist.
Your entire life is experienced through your nervous system, which regulates every function in the human body. We're designed to be self-healing organisms - we just need to make sure that our nervous system is free from interference. At Thrive Family Chiropractic, LLC, our focus is on removing this interference, which is called a subluxation.
Every mom's utmost wish is to have a comfortable pregnancy and a healthy baby. At Thrive Family Chiropractic, LLC, Dr. James has trained extensively in prenatal care to ensure that you have the best possible pregnancy experience. His experience includes seeing his wife, Jessica, through three pregnancies, two of which were while he was in chiropractic school.
At Thrive Family Chiropractic, LLC, we believe that every young person deserves a chance to have a happy, healthy childhood. As a pediatric chiropractor, Dr. James assists our youngest patients in living free from common ailments, hitting the proper growth and developmental milestones at the right times.

I first began going to Thrive when I was 34 weeks pregnant. I’ve always struggled with low back pain but it was important to me to have an understanding of WHY I was feeling pain. Fast forward to the third day of my son’s life when we brought him in to meet Dr. James. Dr. James and the staff at Thrive have provided my baby an opportunity to live his little life to the fullest. His diapers have always been regular, he has been sleeping through the night since he was 6 weeks old and he is truly a happy baby! I have to believe it’s because of Thrive! I couldn’t recommend them more!

I really wanted to take the time out of my day to write this review. I’ve been bringing my 2 month old here for 2 weeks now and the results are unbelievable. Dr James and the staff are so nice and welcoming. I was skeptical at first but I’m so glad I came in. My son went from sleeping an hour to 4-6 hours at night and is overall happy! Def come check them out!!!

Before coming to Thrive, I was experiencing sciatic pain, round ligament pain, constantly feeling the need to crack my neck because it stuck, and my baby was sunny side up at 37 weeks pregnant. On top of that, I couldn’t sleep through the night without waking up in back pain. From the moment I called, Thrive made me feel prioritized and taken care of. After my first adjustment, my back spasms/sciatic pain was completely gone. Within three adjustments, my round ligament pain was gone and my baby had moved to perfect position. I am so thankful for the opportunity to invest into my baby and my body

Absolutely LOVE this office!!! My son is a micro preemie and had a round of constipation after leaving the NICU and hadn’t had a normal stool in 14 days. We had been to the dr, done X-rays, 2 enemas, all the things at home, and 5 different medications!! We were exhausted and he finally found relief after ONE visit and hasn’t missed a day going since! If that’s not proof idk what is! Sleeping and reflux has also improved!! Love how at home the whole staff makes you feel and easy they make an “appointment” If you are searching for a chiropractor stop now and book an

We love Thrive Chiropractic! Our sweet baby Jude was having serious troubles with his feedings and would not sleep. After about a month seeing Dr. James, our little guy is sleeping and eating so much better. Taking Jude in was one of the best decisions we have made and we are so thankful for Dr. James and the Thrive team!

My first visit to Thrive I arrived on crutches and in a lot of pain at 25 weeks pregnant. Dr. James and staff graciously welcomed me and provided, in my personal experience, a standard of care I can only describe as unmatched and of superior quality . Very thorough, intentional, and incredibly knowledgeable.
On my second visit, 4 days later, I walked in crutch free! I look forward to maintaining and improving my prenatal health at Thrive. Very thankful to have found this gem of an office!

We started taking our baby 4 days postpartum to see Dr. James because she was displaying signs of silent reflux. She also had a horrible latch on one side that was very painful. Within hours of seeing the chiropractor her latch had fixed and she was able to start laying on her back without refluxing or crying! We have continued taking her and she has continued to be happy on her back and she has done great with tummy time too! If you're baby is struggling you should definitely check them out!

Words can not express how thankful I am for Thrive. My daughter and I came from another chiropractic practice that charged an arm and leg for my daughter's adjustments (ins didn't cover it). When I found Thrive, not only were the adjustments affordable, but everyone at Thrive makes you feel more than just money waking in and out of those doors. They generally care for your babies wellbeing. Dr. James is fantastic with Aria!! I didn't just regain a healthy baby girl, I also gained so much knowledge about how important the nervous system is for us. I was so jealous to the improvements and environment

Thrive family chiropractic is fantastic. From the initial phone call, to walking in and being immediately greeted by the friendliest receptionists to working with Dr james, you know you and your family are in the right place! Their office is welcoming and extremely CLEAN. They’re communication and customer service is top notch.
My son is a month old and has had terrible colic and digestive issues since we got home from the hospital. I was hesitant to take him to a chiropractor since he is so little but I am so thankful that we found Dr James. We are on week 3 and have had nothing but wonderful
