Dr. Augustine graduated from Cleveland Chiropractic College with a doctorate in Chiropractic. He completed his undergraduate studies at the West Coast University, receiving a B.S in Human Physiology. During school, he studied advanced training in neurology. Born in Lynwood, California, Dr. Augustine began private practice in Bellflower, California as a traditional Chiropractic doctor, with an emphasis on seeing people heal from chronic illness. This focus in practice was the result of an experience that changed his life forever.
I've had stomach problems for as long as I can remember. No matter where I went, no one could seem to help me. However, after meeting with Dr. Augustine I knew my problems had finally been solved. His comprehensive health assessment gave me the tools to finally improve my stomach health for good! From the moment I walked through the doors at Ahead To Wellness, the entire staff and wellness team there have been SO helpful!

I started seeing Dr. Augustine four years ago after being diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease. After hearing amazing things about him, I decided to put my trust in him. It was the best decision I ever made. He CURED me of my autoimmune disease and also helped me through a terrible back injury. Recently, I developed high blood pressure, so I went back to Dr. Augustine before starting any medication. He's done it again!
After receiving his PEMF treatments (oxygen into my cells) and excellent supplements targeting those areas of my body that had caused my high blood pressure, my blood pressure is now back to normal. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Augustine. He's the BEST.

I have been seeing Dr Jim since 2015 when my chiropractor of 30 years passed away suddenly. I never thought I would find another caring and compassionate chiropractor but then I found Dr Jim and his amazing office. He is very knowledgeable in nutrition AND Biocranial AND Chiropractic. He also has the best bedside manner I have ever experienced. He goes out of his way to make you feel like you matter which most doctors don't.
I am blessed to have found such an amazing Doctor to help me navigate thru life with stress and pain. What a fantastic man and Dr.! Please call his office today and see how he can help you feel better and be stronger! Thank you so much Dr Jim- I am forever grateful.

I'm blown away by Dr. Augustine's wealth of knowledge and expertise.but especially his personable care. It can be so daunting to go through health challenges, but Dr. Augustine truly fills you with hope and confidence with specific strategic plans to help your body overcome holistically. I can't thank him enough. I have been using his services for over a year. He inspires me to live well to overcome my health challenges. I have overcome many problems and have avoided a surgery and a tooth abstraction. Thank you.

For all around wellness of you and family. This is the best. I've been treated by Dr. Augustine for many years now. My son of 8 years has been coming here since he was 15 days old for bio cranial adjustments and he hasn't seen a hospital ever. If he comes down with a bug, he'll get rid of it with no problem. I also see Dr. Augustine.
A while back was diagnosed with kidney stones with a primary physician and he prescribed medication for it. Well I broke out in hives with it and so I came here. After suffering for more than three months with pain. Came here and in three days time, my pain was completely gone. Today I came in for tingling sensation in my right arm. He sent me to get x-rays few steps away from here and results were sent to him, stat! Evaluated my case, adjusted me in no time and bam!
I feel better already. I can only imagine coming here a few more times more and I'll be 100% for sure! I LOVE THIS PLACE! Elaine and Dr. James Augustine are the very best!

My trust in Dr. Jim actually grew through how I saw his treatments benefit a mutual friend with a serious, potentially fatal medical condition. No life insurance underwriter would qualify our mutual friend for any coverage whatsoever back in 2016. None. Period. That's how serious her condition was seen. I promised our friend that we would check her insurability with underwriters every year thereafter because she was anxious thinking she would never be able to provide the peace-of-mind of insurance due to her uninsurablity.
After over a year of rigorous treatments with Dr. Jim, as promised, I submitted new data which included Dr. Jim's records to the head of underwriting of a nationally-recognized life insurance company who personally studied the treatment results our friend had undergone. How overjoyed our friend was to learn that her results proved she was insurable!
She wept when I told her she could get life insurance now. I attribute this near-miraculous result to Dr. Jim's treatments coupled with our friend's discipline to faithfully follow Dr. Jim's plan and the grace of God Almighty. After this, I began using Dr. Jim, most namely, for a severe case of sciatica which was causing me much agonY.
I first went to my MD who prescribed 800 mgs twice daily of Ibuprofen and a heating pad. These did absolutely nothing to minimize my increasing pain or cure the cause for all the signs pointing to a sciatic "leg" nerve. In desperation, I sought Dr. Jim who pin-pointed the cause accurately and provided a most merciful solution to more pain than I've felt in my life to-date. Dr. Jim gets 5-Stars not only as a chiropractor but as a total health go-to person. God bless you, Doctor!

Dr. James Augustine has been an answered prayer to my health needs. He is the most compassionate, understanding, helpful & thorough doctor I've ever met. Thank you Dr. A for the great work that you do. My wish for others who are going through challenging times, somehow find their way to you. You have been a true blessing in my road to recovery.

I have been under the care of Dr. James Augustine for about 7 weeks and I cannot say enough about how amazing a Professional he is. He is knowledgeable, kind, and has enabled me to trust my body once again after believing it had failed me. Dr. A is truly a Holistic Detective and has gotten to the very core of why my body systems were not functioning well which had ultimately led to my serious state of ill-health.
His guidance and expertise is second to none.so I highly endorse him if you truly wish to obtain results.regardless of your body's condition. The Cellular Exercise, the BioCranial adjustment, the dietary and supplement program has increased my health status almost miraculously.and for this I am so grateful.to God for leading me to Dr. A and for Dr. A for sharing his knowledge and heart.

I have known Dr. Jim for about 10 years and have been using his services for about 7 years. Just recently, I have been dealing with a serious medical issue. From the very start Dr. Jim was very positive that a protocol he mapped out for me would heal my body. This has given me the peace of mind I so needed during this time. His protocol for me included a full body scan, heart test, detox program, cell exercise (PEMF), bio cranial therapy, and supplementation which is all muscle tested to make sure it will benefit my body. Al supplements and herbs are tested on a regular basis and switched out as needed.
I have also radically changed my diet and lifestyle and feel terrific! I lost 25 lbs during this process and am getting better every day. My blood tests, which were horrible when I started are now in the normal range! Dr. Jim has been patient and given me his time for questions and concerns along the way. He is more than a Chiropractor. He is a true Holistic Healer who believes your body will heal itself if you support it.
The traditional way is to use toxic drugs, surgery, or radiation which will kill your immune system. Dr. Jim supports your immune system with some very powerful non-toxic, gentle protocols that work. Do yourself a huge favor, make a consultation with Dr. Jim and check out his facility. You will notice his caring spirit and how his passion is to see his patients living a very healthy and full life. Also his assistant, Elaine is a very compassionate person who will help you also.

I was experiencing recurring bladder infections and fevers beginning January 2012. After one year and several rounds of antibiotics, my doctor and specialist at UCLA wanted to prescribe me a daily low-dose antibiotic to get everything under "control" (band-aid). Instead of filling the prescription, I decided to see Dr. Augustine. I was extremely nervous about completely letting go of the care from medical doctors, but I knew I did not want to take another antibiotic. Dr Augustine is amazing!
He took the time to ask me lots of questions about my history, he was (and still remains) very patient and gave me all the time I needed to ask questions as well. He then recommended a treatment plan. I was very faithful to the plan and in a matter of days my bladder infection and fever were gone and have not returned since. Dr Augustine even makes himself available via Email for any questions or concerns and is quick to respond. He is very passionate about his work and a true partner in my health care. I am now living a medicine free life. Thank God for Dr. A!

I've been a patient of Dr. Augustine since 2006. I had just about given up hope on being able to live a normal life until I found his ad in a newspaper. The best thing about Dr. Augustine is that he actually listens and explains everything you need to know about your issues, nutrition and supplements. I used to get a lot of adjustments and biocranials but not so much any more.
Though he is really nice about retesting for supplements and any issues without charging you extra fees. He even answers questions via email. His office is pretty popular so it's best to make sure you have an appointment before showing up. If you want a good chiropractor definitely try him out.
