Meet the Doctors

Dr. Nicole Adamson, DC

Dr. Adamson became interested in practicing chiropractic medicine when she was severely injured as a competitive gymnast, and fractured her spine.  Her orthopedist told her she would never be able to participate in competitive sports again, and that she would have to have corrective surgery to live a functional life.

Determined to find an alternative to surgery, she decided to try chiropractic care.  She not only became pain free, but started competing again as well as coaching.  Dr. Adamson is NOT your typical chiropractor. She has dedicated herself to providing her patients a higher standard of care, evaluating each patient to restore their lifestyle, and a personalized treatment plan tailored to each patient’s personal needs.  She is one of only two physicians in Thurston County that is licensed to perform ART on her patients, and is quick at getting results.

Dr. James Contris, DC

We are pleased to introduce Dr. Contris as new chiropractor with Adamson Chiropractic! Dr. Contris joins our practice after completing his Doctorate of Chiropractic and A.R.T. from the same schools as Dr. Adamson leading to a similar treatment style. We are thrilled to have him be a part of our team. He is seeing patient’s Monday through Friday.

Dr. Contris discovered chiropractic after a car wreck that left him with severe shoulder and back pain. After seeing numerous healthcare providers, chiropractic care was what was able to finally get him pain-free and back to his active lifestyle. Inspired, Dr. Contris decided to make the career leap from personal trainer to chiropractic physician. Dr. Contris completed his Doctor of Chiropractic degree through University of Western States (UWS).

In practice Dr. Contris takes a sports medicine approach to care to get patients active and back to their lifestyle as quickly as possible. Along with chiropractic adjustments, he is full body certified in Active Release Technique to help release the soft tissues around the joints to aid in restoring normal joint movement and function, with fast results. He also pulls from his exercise science background by incorporating functional movements and stretches to help patients move efficiently and feel their best.

Outside of chiropractic, Dr. Contris loves calisthenics, Olympic weightlifting and spending time with his girlfriend and their pet rabbit.
