My health issues started with a sharp ear pain one morning. What started as ear pain slowly spread through my entire body — neck pain, upper back and chest pain, lower back, hip pain and leg tingling. I ended up suffering from constant whole-body pain for more than two years.
Nobody could understand what was happening. I saw more than 30 different doctors across different clinics and specialties, and no one had answers.
As a “solution” for my unknown condition, regular doctors prescribed antidepressants and recommended psychiatric consultations. I also saw a PT doctor whose treatment only made me suffer more.
Everything changed when I found Dr. James Stein. He carefully evaluated me and determined that my Atlas (C1 cervical spine vertebra) was rotated and out of alignment, which he believed was the main cause of my pain and symptoms. Dr. Stein uses the Atlas Orthogonal technique, which focuses on aligning the Atlas. No MRI, CT scans, or other imaging had shown this C1 misalignment. There was also concern and discussion around possible vagus nerve injury, which I felt could be related to many of my symptoms, including the widespread pain pattern.
I am a difficult case but slowly and surely, my pain began to ease, and for the first time in a long time I feel hopeful and almost with no pain. This has been the best chiropractic care I have ever received. Dr. Stein is knowledgeable, very intuitive, and puts all of his heart to his patients. I truly believe this doctor has a God-given talent for helping people heal.
I am also very thankful for Renee, the doctor’s assistant at the front desk, who has always been kind, supportive, and welcoming.
After years of suffering and being dismissed, I finally found someone who genuinely helped me. I am deeply grateful and highly recommend Dr. James Stein and Lifeline Chiropractic to anyone struggling with chronic pain or complex symptoms.

I can’t recommend Dr. Stein at Life Line Chiropractic highly enough! After struggling with chronic migraines and stress migraines for over 25 years I found incredible relief through their upper cervical care. I have been to other chiropractors, but it never helped I always felt stuck like they never got my pain all the way. I also have been doing 33 needles of Botox for my migraines the past several years which helped briefly but I feel like it’s just a bandaide. The precision and expertise in their adjustments are truly remarkable — I immediately noticed improvements with my daily debilitating migraines, having more mobility in my neck , and overall well-being. I am so happy to get up everyday for the past 3 weeks without a migraine and needing to take prescribed medication. Which also is stressful because as you may know if you get migraines the insurance company only gives you a limited supply of medication. What sets Dr. Stein apart is not just his skill, but the genuine care and attention he gives each patient. Every visit feels personalized and thorough. If you’re looking for a chiropractor who delivers real results, especially in upper cervical care, this is the place to go. My quality of life has improved dramatically thanks to their work! Thank you Dr. Stein Susan Schlear

I’ve been struggling for over a year with complex migraines, vertigo and a slew of other health issues. It’s because of Dr Stein, I’ve completely got my life back after thinking that I wouldn’t would never be the same again! Now I’m pain free and have never felt better. Can’t thank him enough, you’d be doing yourself a disservice going anywhere else!

I’ve been dealing with vertigo off and on for a couple of years, and seeing Dr. Stein has made a world of difference. Just last Friday, right before a demanding two-day work weekend, I stood up from a chair and was hit with a sudden, intense bout of vertigo.
Dr. Stein was able to fit me in right away, and within five hours, I felt well enough to handle my shift—which involves a lot of bending, twisting, turning, and moving quickly.
I can’t say enough about his technique and the way he explains exactly where the problem stems from. If you’re dealing with vertigo, I highly recommend checking out Dr. Stein.

I highly recommend Dr. Stein. He provides 360° care for patients, and he is genuinely interested in each person‘s health and well-being. He takes a holistic view and he uses many different modalities—it’s not just adjustments. I’m thrilled with the results I’ve been achieving since I started seeing him, and I think other patients are experiencing the same, as I notice people leaving his office feeling supported and hopeful.

We are incredibly grateful for the care we've received from Dr. Stein. Even though we drive 45 minutes each way, the trip is more than worth it. What sets him apart is that his approach goes far beyond just chiropractic adjustments. He treats the whole body, taking the time to understand the root of the issue and how it affects everything else. Since starting care, my son has felt significantly better, and we’ve seen noticeable improvements not just physically, but in his overall well-being.

I’ve been under Dr. James Stein’s care for the past three months, and I can’t say enough about the life-changing impact he’s had on my health and well-being. From the start, it was clear that Dr. Stein genuinely cares about his patients—not just their symptoms, but their whole story. As someone who once lived with chronic neck pain and daily headaches himself, he brings a level of empathy and understanding that’s rare to find.
Every treatment session with Dr. Stein is tailored specifically to how I’m feeling that day, along with my long-term health goals. He doesn’t offer one-size-fits-all care—he listens, asks questions, and adapts. On top of that, he consistently shares thoughtful and practical lifestyle strategies to support the physical work he’s doing, helping me make meaningful changes beyond the adjustment table.
When I first came to him, I was suffering from daily headaches and frequent, severe migraines. I’ve now been migraine-free for three weeks—something I hadn’t thought was possible. I truly feel like I have my life back, and I credit that to Dr. Stein’s holistic and compassionate approach to care.
I’ll absolutely continue seeing him and would recommend his practice to anyone seeking not just pain relief, but long-term healing and support.

I’ve been dealing with pretty bad vertigo , and finding Dr. Stein has been a game-changer. He’s not only super knowledgeable, but also really kind and easy to talk to. What I really appreciate is how he combines chiropractic care with neurology—it’s not something I’ve experienced before, and it’s made a huge difference. I’ve found real relief thanks to his treatments, and I feel like I finally understand what’s going on with my body. If you’re struggling with vertigo or just looking for a great chiropractor, I definitely recommend seeing him.

Dr. Stein has done a great job for me. I have been going to upper cervical chiropractors for the last couple years for Ménière’s Disease. It has been the only effective treatment and has improved my quality of life dramatically. Upon coming to Dr. Stein though my condition has been better controlled than ever before. Also, He’s really nice guy and his pricing is very reasonable. Very thankful to have found him

I spent many years in pain, until Dr. Stein was recommended to me about a year ago. Dr. Stein gave me immediate relief with the correct diagnosis and treatment, and has given me the ability to ride and train on my horse again. I continue to go to Dr. Stein for chiropractic adjustments as needed, which keep me more comfortable than I have ever been. I cannot recommend Lifeline enough!
