  It’s been a true blessing to have found Dr. Jacob. He is truly a healer, a master of his art, and a compassionate human being. After months of pain, tears, and numerous chiropractors, who I felt treated me as just a number and would simply crack my back and send me on my way, Dr. Jacob really listened.

  I emailed him on a Sunday, and within a couple of hours, he called me. I burst into tears from pain, hopelessness, and disbelief that someone would take the time to call on their day off. He listened, asked questions, and humbly said, “I hope I can help you.”

  After the first session, the tingling in my feet completely went away. After the second, the tingling and burning in my glutes and hamstrings ceased. I was finally able to sit without feeling like I was on fire. He taught me techniques to calm the nerve pain whenever it would flare up.

  During our second session, as I was struggling to perform an exercise due to a frozen shoulder, I mentioned that I’ve had limited range of motion for nearly three years. He pressed, pushed, pressed again, and rotated it back and forth. The next day, I was getting ready to work on my frozen shoulder when I noticed my shoulder wasn’t hurting. I raised my arms up and down, and my oh my, it’s like the frozen shoulder never even happened.

  After months of back pain and weeks of being unable to sit, I can finally resume working out. I will be forever grateful to Dr. Jacob for listening, caring, and teaching me.

  I can't recommend Dr. Garry Jacob highly enough. I came to him with a cervical disc extrusion after physical therapy that gave me almost no lasting relief. I was frankly skeptical that anything would help but I responded to his treatment within just a couple of visits, faster than I'd dared to hope after struggling for so long.

  What stood out first was that he actually listened. He took the time to understand my history and my symptoms rather than rushing me through, and then he explained clearly what was happening in my neck and why his approach made sense, no vague reassurances, just a real explanation I could follow.

  The value was excellent, too: he provides acupuncture and chiropractic care together in the same visit for about half of what those two services would cost separately. On top of that, he consistently stressed self-care, exercises and habits I could do on my own to keep improving, instead of trying to make me dependent on regular appointments. That honesty earned my trust completely.

  I'm grateful to have found him, and I'd recommend him to anyone dealing with neck or spine issues!

• “He gives hope that pain will subside, and gives clear direction to make it happen.”

  Dr. Jacob empowers patients through individuated analysis, education, acupuncture, skeletal adjustment, corrective posture/movement. He gives hope that pain will subside, and gives clear direction to make it happen. He is a deeply knowledgeable, caring, collaborative guide in one's healing journey. I have the deepest gratitude for Dr. Jacob.

  For my first visit, many years ago, I had terrible neck pain and was unable to turn my head. He identified the disc that was bulging (pressing on my nerves) and gave me exercises to coax it back into proper placement. Since then, I have had a few occasions when that same disc started 'complaining'. I corrected my posture, did my exercises, and resumed a painless existence.

  Dr. Jacob seeks the origin of the pain (the mechanics), the medical means to address it (acupuncture, adjustment, or advanced analysis such as imaging), and provides steps the patient can take to help/correct.

  If only there were more review stars; he deserves them.

• “I have been so grateful to Dr. Jacob for getting me out of pain and for teaching me how to take care of my back on my own.”

  Many years ago I had a serious fall where I landed on my back and sustained an injury that left me in excruciating pain. I was seen by one of the top spine doctors at Kerlan-Jobe who outfitted me in a brace and assured me that the 3 broken transvers process bones on the right side of my spine - they're the ones like little wings attached to the vertebrae - were responsible for soft tissue damage and radiating pain to the left side of my back that was killing me. That wasn't making much sense to me. So, I was referred by a friend to go see Dr. Gary Jacob who, after an extensive exam, felt quite certain that I had 2 very large disc herniations, and requested that I get an MRI. The MRI confirmed his thoughts exactly. And from that point on I have been so grateful to Dr. Jacob for getting me out of pain and for teaching me how to take care of my back on my own. He has also fixed issues that I have had with my neck and has helped me in more ways than I can count. And as well as him being a truly great doctor, he is also a really great person. Thank you so much Dr. Jacob.

  Dr. Jacob has saved me years from pain. He has made adjustments to my back that relieved the pain. The Doctor showed me how to help myself when my back was out of alignment. His knowledge and skill are wonderful. He has helped many of my friends who have suffered painful back problems. He resolved issues that others have tried and failed.
