Holistic Medicine
Dr. Steven Jacob
Holistic Medicine
Holistic Medicine recognizes that resolving a health issue requires optimizing whole-body alignment. A patient’s physical pain is sometimes driven by emotional or psychological issues. Some patients have psychological issues that are caused by physical problems. Holistic Medicine promotes health and wellness by addressing physical, psychological, and emotional issues in a peaceful, welcoming environment.
Dr Jacob’s skill set is unique in that he understands how changing one of these domains can have a powerful impact on others. Through his comprehensive intake and diagnostic process, he evaluates you and your history and uses time-tested modalities to optimize your health and support whole-body balance.
Alternative Medicine
Dr. Jacob treats patients using Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine, Bodywork, Manual Therapy, and other modalities with proven benefits. As they aren’t included in Western medical training, Western practitioners designate these successful healing traditions as Alternative Medicine. For centuries, other societies and cultures have considered many alternative therapies foundational to whole-body healing.
Eastern Medicine
Chinese Medicine
Western medicine focuses on treating symptoms. Traditional Chinese Medicine treats the whole body. Following Chinese Medicine guidelines, Dr. Jacob evaluates patients using tongue and pulse diagnosis. They are the body’s most dynamic health indicators. He treats patients using Acupuncture, herbs and modalities that have been in use for thousands of years.

Acupuncture
Think of your body as a home where a blown circuit has darkened the lights in the kitchen. You correct the problem by adjusting the circuit box in the basement not by changing the light bulb. That’s how Acupuncture works. An Acupuncturist recognizes that a condition in one part of your body can cause pain in another. Our diagnostic model guides us to place surgical stainless steel Acupuncture needles where they optimize positive changes in the body. Learn more about our Acupuncture Services.

Herbal Medicine
We blend traditional herbs, harmonizing the ingredients for the desired result. Our “recipes” combine herbs in the same way a baker mixes ingredients to make a cake. As with many traditional Chinese Medicine traditions, we rely on pulse and tongue diagnosis to determine which herbs will best benefit our patient.
Jin Shin Jyutsu
During a Jin Shin treatment, Dr. Jacob uses hands-on techniques to create a connection between two locations in the body. We treat patients based on needs determined during the diagnostic evaluation. The Jin Shin Jyutsu process balances the lungs, spleen, and other organ systems. The technique also supports structural alignment.

Behavioral Processes
When people get stuck in a behavioral loop, they perceive events and circumstances in ways that affect their emotional, physical, and psychological health. They see fear, anger, and sadness as bad and automatically reject them. They embrace only those things they perceive as good. Behavioral processing helps metabolize both bad as well and good to promote overall wellness.

Meditation
Meditation is more than an activity for immediate relief. We encourage our clients to practice it throughout the day as a means to participate in their own health outcomes. Meditation enables focus and clarity and it reduces stress. It also eases pain and discomfort and provides physical and emotional support for the whole body.
