Meet the Doctor and Staff

Dr. Jim Ribley

Dr. Jim was raised in a chiropractic family. His father, Dr. Charles Ribley, has been in chiropractic for over 45 years. Although his father is retired from practicing chiropractic, he is still very active in the chiropractic community. Dr. Jim also has two brothers and two sisters who are all involved in chiropractic.

Dr. Jim proudly states that he has never been vaccinated, nor has he ever taken any kind of medication. He has maintained the healthy, chiropractic lifestyle that his parents instilled upon him. When people comment on how lucky he is to be so healthy, he replies it has nothing to do with luck. It's about educating yourself about how the body works, knowing the importance of a properly functioning nervous system, and learning the effects (good and bad) of the things we put into our bodies.

He is the proud father of one daughter, Rhiannon. She is eleven years old and full of spunk. Much like her father, she is very athletically inclined. She has been taking Tai Kwon Do lessons since she was 4 years old. She earned a black belt at one facility, and has a red belt (one away from black) at the facility where she currently trains. She hopes to follow in her daddy's footsteps and start playing basketball in the near future.

Dr. Jim is currently engaged to be married. He and his fiance, Kelley, went to high school together but never really got to know one another. Thanks to Facebook, they struck up a friendship, got to know one another, and soon fell in love. He is thrilled to be sharing the chiropractic lifestyle with her, as well as teaching her about the chiropractic business as she works beside him at the office.

Adjust a babyOne of Dr. Jim's greatest privileges is when patients bring their newborns straight from the hospital for their first adjustment. The birthing process can be a traumatic process for newborns and parents want to make sure their babies are in proper alignment. He feels it is a great honor having that trust bestowed upon him. He loves children and loves to see entire families filling the waiting room. Additionally, he feels very privileged to help all people, young and old, too attain maximum health by educating them about the benefits of leading a natural, drug-free lifestyle.

Whether watching or playing, Dr. Jim is a big fan of sports. He enjoys watching any level, from peewee to professional. He is a die hard Lions fan who has sat through every home game since 2006. He ran track and played basketball in high school....however, basketball has always been his passion. Although not as active playing as he'd like to be, he thoroughly enjoys the occasional pick-up games at his health club.

Dr. Jim Ribley is a graduate of Life University. He has been in active practice at Ribley Chiropractic Clinic since 1994. He received Diplomat Status from the National Board of Chiropractic in 1993. He is also a member of the Michigan Chiropractors Association and of the International Chiropractors Association.
