Meet Dr. Richard Stein
Chiropractic Replaces Surgery
“When I was a pre-law college student, my mom developed a severe back condition. After conventional medical treatment had failed, she was told that if she didn’t have immediate surgery, she’d be stuck in a wheelchair.”
Dr. Stein’s mom decided to see a chiropractor. “In six weeks he did wonderful things with her.”
“I didn’t have a clue about chiropractic… how it worked or what it could do. All I knew was that it gave mom her life back.
After spending some time being educated by her chiropractor, I knew I had to change my major and make this wonderful profession my life’s work. I was hooked!”
It’s Now or Never: Jerusalem-bound
After graduating from Michigan State University in 1982, Dr. Stein received his Doctor of Chiropractic Degree from Life Chiropractic College-West in 1989 and became officially licensed in 1990.
“My wife and I had just started a family, so I knew it was a now-or-never proposition: I wanted to have the chance to see my roots.”
Dr. Stein fulfilled his dream when he and his fledgling family moved to Israel for two years where he served as a chiropractic pioneer by founding the Jerusalem Chiropractic Center.
He returned to the United States in 1991 and opened his present clinic in La Jolla.
