Thanks for that info JJWI.

I looked him up at:
https://www.idfpr.com/licenselookup/LicenseLookup.asp

It says he's on probation. His offenses are:
2008 - Failure to pay state taxes
2006 - Deceptive advertising.
2000 - Allegedly practicing on a non-renewed license. $2500 FINE DUE WITHIN 60 DAYS
1996 - Allegedly inadequately maintained patient billing records and failed to document reasons for conducting certain tests. $3500 FINE PAYABLE IMMEDIATELY - PAID

At http://www.idfpr.com/Forms/DISCPLN/0605_dis.pdf it says James E. Stoxen, Chicago – chiropractor license (038-005767) reprimanded and fined $2,500 for deceptive advertising." -- no other details. The "0605" in the filename stands for 2006-05 I believe and matches the record above.

No sanctions or malpractice found here:

Whether or not a 2006 violation of deceptive advertising is deal killer is up to each of us. I don't really care about his taxes or the older stuff. Honestly, if I lived by Chicago I probably would have just tried him already.

But I'm out in Cali and will be self treating my scalenes in 2014.
