Jacobs Chiropractic Acupuncture

Some people think Dr. Lou only works with musicians.......NOPE.
We work with everyone, but we treat them all like A-List Musicians.
Dr. Lou is board certified in perinatal (pregnancy) and pediatric (children) Chiropractic. His office is filled with healthcare workers, like nurses, hygienists, CNA's and the like.
Dr. Lou works with athletes from basketball players to skateboarders.
Dr. Lou also has a large community of people he sees who areplanning for a healthy retirement. So much so that he likes to say he's a retirement planner....for your health, stability, prevention, performance and other health related perks you get later in life if you plan early. Just like financial planning, health planning takes time to build a portfolio of "great and sustainable odds" for years to come. Dr. Lou's parents did not have the blessing of living into their seventies. He deeply understands the idea of "time lost" if we don't care for ourselves.

All that said, Dr. Lou loves working with musicians and over 50% of his patients are musicians in some capacity. Last week he had the pleasure of working with Mt. Joy again as they rolled through Portland for the second time in two years to play at Thompson's Point. Music is Salubrious!

Shrinking? It's not the model year, it's the mileage.

As much as 12% of your total body height is from the cartilaginous discs of the spine. With wear and tear or mileage, those discs become compressed. Hydration and chiropractic adjustments with decompression combined with other positive sources of input can protect those discs, leading to slower compression and decay. Mobility, nerve function, arthritis, pain, nerve irritation, strength, speed are all affected by an ever compressing and decaying spine. So while it's more than just your height that suffers, your height may matter too. Now you know.
It a person who is 5'10", 12% is 7.2 inches of height that could, in a worst case scenario be lost. 😳 And in a typical scenario with wear and tear, less than 12% loss, is still a loss that affects one's health and quality of life.
Chiropractic Spinal Decompression and Mobilization is always a good thing.

We understand that no matter how wonderful your family is, how well paid your job is, no matter how satisfying you find your hobbies and work, your quality of life hinges on whether or not your spine and nervous system are working properly.
Chiropractic care keeps your spine and nervous system healthier than without. With back issues being the leading cause of disability worldwide, and thereby statistically what is most likely to take you "out of the game" of quality of life, maybe it's time for a Health Retirement Planning visit, to discuss how to protect your future with strategy and minimal care BEFORE things start falling apart. Act now to feel even better sooner and start depositing into your health expectancy account!

Ever leave the chiropractic office feeling like you've left half your face on the table?
