Chiropractor in Bucuresti – Dr. Lou Jacobs – (+40)21 222 13 70

May 17, 2016

Dr. Lou Jacobs – Chiropractor in Bucuresti   If you live in Romania you may have searched youtube or google for a chiropractor in Bucuresti. Up until recently, you would have been disappointed by the results. Instead of watching local videos or reading articles by a chiropractor in Bucuresti, you were probably redirected to a chiropractor in NYC or California or Portland, Maine. While there are many great chiropractors in the U.S., Romania and much of Eastern Europe is lacking legitimate representation within the chiropractic profession. There are no doctors.   Romania has two Chiropractors who have been trained in chiropractic universities abroad. There are no chiropractic programs or schools in Romania. Beware of the “chiropractor” who did not train at a legitimate university. Of the two chiropractors in Romania, only one is a chiropractor in Bucuresti.   American chiropractor, Dr. Lou Jacobs, is the only chiropractor in Bucuresti. Because of the high demand for chiropractic in Romania given the lack of chiropractors, Dr. Lou visits Romania for work 3 months out of the year and maintains an office in the U.S. as well. Dr. Lou’s schedule in 2016 includes office hours between May 16 and June 15 at...

Pain Can Be Deceiving – Portland, Maine | Bucuresti, Romania

March 4, 2015

Pain Can Be Deceiving Nearly every European patient that I see or have seen have x-ray, MRI, or CT scans. Patients come in with a variety of complaints ranging from foot pain from running to hemi-paralysis from a live polio vaccine at age 1 1/2. I came to an interesting conclusion after my latest trip. Symptoms and underlying problems don’t always match up. People with no pain have major underlying issues on MRI that are just waiting to manifest. Herniated discs, massive osteophytes and degeneration, compressed vertebrae, flattened discs, none of which they were feeling at the time of their checkup. Others came in with tremendous pain and discomfort and their xray, MRI and CT scans showed nothing. Surface EMG (sEMG) and spinal nerve thermography did show tremendous dysfunction in some of those cases.   Bottom line. Pain can be deceiving. It can also be caused my something minor or you can have a major problem with no pain at all. In either case, it’s good to know what is going on in your body and have time to correct things for a healthier, happier future.   Spinal hygiene and maintenance, whether we like it or not, is critical for...

Chiropractic – The Most Empowered Healthcare Profession

September 25, 2014

Chiropractors Need Nothing.   One of the reasons I became a chiropractor is because it’s old school.  In 1895 when chiropractic as we know it today began, there was no technology. There were just brains and hands. Unlike dentists, surgeons, primary care doctors, pharmacists, even some physical therapists, Chiropractors need no gadgets. All we need is the knowledge to identify subluxation and the skills to correct it.   Today I leave for Romania.  Me and my adjusting table. Yes, I am taking technology – scanning devices and tools that help me help patients but When I was in school we were not allowed to use these in the clinic. We were trained to be old school chiropractors, to use our hands and to think on our feet.  I was always extremely attracted to the idea of being able to be dropped in the middle of the jungle and set up a clinic on a dirt floor with nothing but leaves over my head.  And the beautiful reality of being a chiropractor is that this is possible.  I know of no medical doctor, dentist or other type of healthcare professional that has access to the healing that a chiropractor has...

Chiropractica din Romania | Dr. Lou Jacobs |Bucuresti, Romania

July 19, 2014

Chiropractica din Romania 2014-2015   Chiropractic is not a treatment of disease, injury or deformity, it is a facilitation of the body’s innate ability to regulate, control and heal itself when interference to the nerve system is removed. When the body, brain and nerve system achieve optimal function through reduced or no interference to control, the body will regulate and heal itself.   Chiropractic is well known for eliminating back pain, neck pain, hip pain, headaches and other neuromusculoskeletal pain, but this is a positive side effect of proper neurological function and healing achieved through structural adjustments and not due to direct treatment of disease.   There is no cure for the common cold.  Your body is able to eliminate the cold, however. Medicine does not heal a cut finger – your body heals a cut finger and replaces the skin.  Trillions of functions of the body are being performed every second in every living human being without any thought and under normal circumstances, every function is executed perfectly. As you read this, over 3 billion cells in your body have already died and are being replaced with new cells formed by your body from the supa de perisoara you...
