Acupuncture is a technique of inserting and manipulating fine needles into specific points on the body to relieve pain and treat many other health conditions. Only sterile, disposable, single-use surgical steel needles are used. Dr. Jacobs attributes the amazing results experienced by his patients to his extensive study in acupuncture theory and traditional family-style methods that span many generations. Like his most influential mentor, multi-generational Chinese acupuncturist Dr. Richard Tan OMD, Dr. Jacobs believes that acupuncture done correctly should relieve pain and discomfort within seconds.
