Bio

What are some of the specific conditions you treat?

I treat a variety of musculoskeletal conditions including but not limited to:

  • Sports or Overuse Injuries
  • Arthritis
  • Sciatica
  • Neck & Back Pain
  • Joint Pain
  • Nerve Pain (i.e. Carpel Tunnel Syndrome)
  • Concussions
  • Overuse Injuries
  • Muscle & Tendon Injuries

I evaluate pain and other issues that may be limiting a patient and work to best return them to routine activities, work, recreational activities, sports or anything else they want to do.

What techniques or procedures do you use in your practice?

After a thorough evaluation, options are discussed and a customized treatment plan is determined that will best suit each individual. The plan typically begins with conservative measures including medications, splinting/bracing, ordering imaging (X-ray, CT, MRI) etc. I also can perform a variety of ultrasound guided injections/procedures. Treatment plans will include therapeutic exercises to address the patient's current complaints and prevent further injuries. 

What would you like patients to know about your approach to care?

I believe that patient care is always a team approach, including the providers and the patient. Every patient has different goals and needs. I enjoy educating patients through the use of pictures, models and other graphics. With this knowledge, we can together work on a treatment plan that can best get each patient to their individual goals and back to doing what they love to do!

    I was extremely satisfied with Dr. Jacob. He was kind and understanding, and spoke with me as an intelligent adult. We had an excellent conversation about my problem and he understood it and used ultrasound to get more information. We discussed several non-invasive options and agreed that I would make another appointment for the first treatment.

    I am quite fortunate to have Dr. Jacob as my physiatrist. It is obvious he spends much time reviewing the data and asking questions in order to decide the best course of action and always explains his thoughts clearly. I feel I am heard at all times and permitted to take part in the decision making process for my treatment.

    I felt that Dr Jacobs was extremely attentive. He asked scores of questions in an effort to accurately diagnose the sources of my pains. He also conducted ultrasounds of my shoulder and thumb on the spot. That was excellent! During the entire visit, he wasn't at all rushed and made certain that all of my questions and concerns were expressed before he concluded our visit. I thought his skills and demeanor were excellent, IMO.
