Avoided major back surgery
We have been going to Dr. Jacobs for about two years now and highly recommend him to anyone who is even remotely thinking about going to a chiropractic doctor. My wife was told by a "specialist" that she would need major surgery to relieve the chronic pain in her neck and back that she experienced constantly. As a last resort before going under the knife, she visited Dr. Jacobs and after only one visit she noticed a significant reduction in her pain. Over the course of the following year, he has not only eliminated her pain, but has helped restore her mobility and energy to where she is now able to enjoy things like golf, treadmill, walking, and other activities that she had not been able to participate in for over two years prior to seeing Dr. Jacobs. He has truely changed our lives and we - again - highly recommend him for anyone who is seeking a great Chiropractor!

Chiropractic helps Jaw pain, Knee pain, Frozen Shoulder
I have been seeing Dr. Jacobs for about 3 weeks and seen rapid improvement in both my body movement and pain threshold. The most acute problem is a frozen shoulder with very tight neck area. For the first time in a very long time my neck feels loose and I don’t have severe pain regularly. He has also helped me with TMJ, knee pain, and lower back tightness. What I particularly appreciate is he doesn’t just wait for you to identify your problems; he does a body scan and finds areas that are out of sync on his own. I had forgotten about my TMJ and he found it and started working on it. As for my knees, wow, I can do exercises I haven’t been able to do in a long time. Lastly, he encourages you to take part in your healing process including giving you exercises and suggesting a healthy diet with plenty of water. Overall, excellent experience, I highly recommend him!

Chiropractic Care eased my neck, back, and arm pain!
In 1994, I was having severe neck, upper back and right arm pain. The pain was so severe, that I was having difficulty sleeping and also had to take time out of my medical practice. For several years, I had been seeing by physical therapists and orthopedic surgeons who wanted to surgically fuse my neck. Nothing was helping and I was steadily getting worse. I was desperate. I began to see Dr. Jacobs on a regular basis. Initially, I was skeptical because I thought my problem was too severe to be helped by chiropractic. In only a few weeks, I began to feel better. I could hardly believe it. My arm pain improved and I was able to sleep again. I would have never believed the great results I was able to receive from seeing Dr. Jacobs. He helped me and I know he can help you!

Chiropractic helped Fibromyalgia
As I walked by the office I knew this was it! I first came to see Dr. Michael Jacobs because every step of every day was painful. I could rarely get comfortable in any position. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 2002. My activity was very limited due to chronic pain and fatigue. I suffered with these symptoms since 1997. I was prescribed pain pills, but I do not do well on most meds. I decided to turn to chiropractic because it had previously helped when I received treatment in Massachusetts. My first impression of this chiropractic office was that it had a wonderful vibration- upbeat yet calm. I was almost becoming crippled under severe body pain before Dr. Jacobs helped me realize healing comes from within and chiropractic sparked that fuse- Ignited well being and self care. After just a few visits, I began to see results. My life has changed since starting care. Thanks to chiropractic my pain is some day's non-existent, often only slightly bothersome, and always manageable now. Overall in this office I love the atmosphere, efficiency, Dr. Jacobs, Ilene, and Angie. My advice to others: Go see Dr. Jacobs regularly and do all the best self care in between!

Chiropractic eased the pain caused from an auto accident!
In June 2006, I was seriously injured in a near fatal car crash. As a result of that auto accident, I have suffered from significant spinal damage and nerve damage that has caused me chronic pain and disability. In order to avoid high risk surgery I began to see Dr. Jacobs. The results have been something miraculous. I have been able to drastically reduce the pain medication as well as increase my mobility and improve the overall quality of my life. Thank you for all that you have done for me.

Chiropractic helps with chronic headaches!
I suffered for six years with headaches. I tried so many kinds of medication, also seeking treatment with a neurologist, but nothing seemed to help. It's frustrating and depressing to lay in bed for days in pain, crying. Then in June my husband and I were involved in a car accident, my headaches worsened. I doubled up on my dosage of medication, hoping it would ease the pain, but I was wrong. It made things worse. A friend referred me to Dr. Michael Jacobs. After a few weeks of treatment I started to see the results. I woke up with no headaches. I sleep better. I am in a better mood. I can now enjoy life once again and I look forward to each new day. I am no longer taking medication or prescription drugs. Thanks Dr. Jacobs for all your help and making me feel great!!!!!

Chiropractic provided relief after two lower back surgeries!
After two low back surgeries over the past ten years I was still having lower back pain with radiation into both my legs. The pain prevented me from walking any further than a city block without severe pain. The results have been nothing short of satisfaction in alleviating all pain and symptoms, allowing me to walk and run without restrictions. I would recommend Dr. Michael Jacobs to others, it is obvious that he has the ability to provide a program of relief over a long period of time.

The pain caused from a herniated disc improved with chiropractic care!
I first injured my lower back while swinging a golf club. The injury resulted in a herniated disc aggravated by 20 years of neglect while in the Marine Corps. I was in severe pain. My treatment included visiting the normal orthopedic and neurosurgeons, taking prescription drugs and physical therapy. I continued to see different physicians for four years with no improvement. I was convinced I would have to live in pain for the rest of my life. As soon as I started receiving treatment from Dr. Michael Jacobs my condition improved. Not only have my lower back problems subsided, but I am able to play golf and exercise on a regular basis again. Dr. Jacobs has really improved my quality of life and made me a believer in Chiropractic care.

Chiropractic helped my leg pain!
For about 5 years I have suffered with very sore leg muscles. My leg pain increased with walking and kept me up at night. After my 2nd visit the constant leg pain that I had been experiencing at night completely disappeared. I also felt that I was more mobile and the leg pain during the day has diminished significantly.

The pain between my shoulders has diminished thanks to chiropractic care!
One day at work, while attempting to lift a box off the floor I overextended my upper back. The pain between my shoulders stabbed me so sharply that that I almost fainted and the pain intensified each time I tried to take a breath. The greatest benefits from Dr. Jacobs' treatment are that I am stronger, more resilient, better balanced and more grounded than I was prior to my accident. This problem literally changed my life and taught me the benefit of good spinal care and regular wellness adjustments. I now firmly believe that getting regular wellness adjustments is essential to good health and I recommend Dr. Jacobs to all my friends and relatives.

Chiropractic helped with the whiplash caused by an auto accident
I was referred to Dr. Jacobs by a friend and came to see him after being in a car accident. I had severe pain in my shoulders, upper back, lower back and dizziness. Chiropractic has made a wondrous difference in my life. I started to see result from my care right away. I no longer have dizzy spells. Chiropractic has changed my life because I no longer feel like an old lady. I received excellent care from Dr. Jacobs and encourage others to relax and enjoy . . . the results are worth it!

Chiropractic for Kids - Torticollis
I brought my 2 month old son, Ryden, to Dr. Jacobs after he was diagnosed by his pediatrician with torticollis. it was believed this disorder was caused from possible trauma at birth. Ryden was unable to turn his head to the right without much discomfort and crying. We began to see results immediately after starting care with Dr. Jacobs. Chiropractic care has helped Ryden a lot! This has had a great impact on our lives, because my son is no longer in pain, he is much happier and is able to sleep better and longer at night. He is able to turn his head and is catching up developmentally, and is able to do mini-pushups while lying on his stomach, as well as rolling over. I would highly recommend Dr. Jacobs to anyone contemplating chiropractic care.
