Introducing Conifer Chiropractor Dr. Randy Jacobs

"The life of my mother, Barbara, was saved by a chiropractor," recalls Dr. Randy Jacobs.  "After my mother had given birth to me, she had such severe back, hip, and leg pains that she was bed-ridden for weeks on end, growing weaker and more depressed with each passing day. The medical doctors ran test after test, but couldn't find a cause of her agonizing pain and worsening health. They offered little hope and their only guess was to perform 'exploratory surgery'.  They told her that the surgery could possibly paralyze her from the waist down, or kill her due to her weakened state-these options were not very exciting. She actually considered being their guinea pig and having surgery because the pain pills were not working and the drugs were giving her very unpleasant side effects, and on top of all this mess, she had not slept in weeks.

She was so desperate and had run out of any hope of ever recovering to her previous state of perfect health and working as a cosmetologist.  However, God had another plan by working through our wonderful neighbor lady, Zelma Wilcox. Zelma insisted that my mom visit her chiropractor to see if he could help my mom. My mom was very skeptical and told Zelma if the MDs couldn't find what was causing her poor health, what could a quack chiropractor do?  But Mom prayed, kept a half-open mind and decided to at least see the chiropractor one time to see what he could find. My dad literally carried mom into the chiropractor's office filled with other patients waiting. After the Dr. examined and x-rayed mom, he told her she probably wouldn't get better for at least six months to a year. Mom started to cry out load when hearing the doctor's prognosis, but these were tears of hope and joy!  For the first time in months, the chiropractor finally found what was causing her declining health: her spinal bones were detected on the x-rays to be misaligned, irritating delicate spinal nerves. She had a miraculous recovery and only after a few weeks of chiropractic care she was able to make a complete recovery and return to work. She worked as a cosmetologist for 40 years and now, at the age of 83, still works for my brother and sister, two to three days a week, in their chiropractic office!!  On top of that, on a visit a few years later to her D.C. (Doctor of Chiropractic), she mentioned that her son (me) was still a bed-wetter at the age of six.  He related that he might be able to help me. Still a bit skeptical, she took me for my first visit to her D.C. and, within a few months, I wasn't an automatic sprinkler in bed at night anymore!  (Ask me how this works!)

My cousin, Todd Spieles, D.C., graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic and I would visit him for periodic spinal adjustments while in college at Ohio State University. As I waited my turn to see Dr. Todd, the always-filled reception room was packed with other patients talking about their success stories of how Dr. Todd had helped them feel good again and helped them recover from all types of health problems, from arthritis, fibromyalgia, headaches, pain in the neck, back, hips, knees, shoulders, fatigue, indigestion, and the testimonials went on and on! I was a little skeptical about all these stories of how chiropractic care and nutrition could help all these problems, but I didn't know all the facts until Dr. Todd explained how the body could heal itself if given the right nerve supply and proper nutrition. I really listened and Dr. Todd encouraged me to attend "Career Day" at his chiropractic college. I really got excited during my visit to Palmer to learn how I could make a huge difference in improving so many people's lives without dangerous drugs and surgery (with all their known and unknown short- and long-term side effects). I enrolled at Palmer College in a few months and although the course studies were very demanding, I always remembered how my mom's life was so dramatically changed and kept in mind the end result of being able to help so many people that were in pain and had lost their health along with all hope of ever feeling good again and being healthy.  Health is normal, not pain and sickness!  Most people just have not had the special tests and evaluations to find the cause of their problems; then, once the proper cause is found, the proper treatment must be done to get successful results.  If we find we can't help someone, we tell them the truth and try to find someone else who may help them.

I graduated from The Ohio State University with both a B.S. degree and an M.A. degree.  I was awarded a letter in gymnastics while at OSU.  Later, I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Palmer College of Chiropractic and was inducted into the "Pi Tau Delta" chiropractic honor society. I really enjoyed the human dissection classes because they gave me a much more humble appreciation of the wonders of the human body and how awesome it is.

Two of the most critical things one needs to feel great and to achieve wellness are:  1) a healthy nervous system, and 2) proper foods along with whole food supplements/vitamins.  Dorland's Medical Dictionary defines the nervous system as the master system of the body that controls and coordinates the functions of every cell, tissue, and organ of the body. That's why I make sure that, as a "corrective care chiropractor", I work toward correcting spinal bones that are not in alignment which can irritate, pinch and damage delicate nerves which come out of the spine causing the nerve signals to be interfered with their communications to the attached organs.. When there is no interference to these nerves, the signals from the brain to all the body parts can keep all these body parts functioning normally.

Regarding nutrition, the National Academy of Sciences (which is among the most respected scientific organizations in the U.S.) stated in their publication (VOL.93, pp.14304-14307, Dec.1996): "It is now established that nutritional deficiency is commonly associated with impaired immune responses, particularly cell-mediated immunity, phagocyte function, cytokine production, secretory antibody response, antibody affinity, and the complement system. In fact, malnutrition is the commonest cause of immunodeficiency worldwide."  In my practice, I only use the highest quality of whole food supplements/vitamins from the Standard Process company. I am only one of a few chiropractors that use the high tech and painless Atlas Orthogonal and Pulstar instruments to correct spinal misalignments; (log on to the websites of these special instruments for more information).

I met my wife to be at 30,000 feet. I was traveling to a chiropractic seminar on an airplane and there was Cheryl!  We've been happily married for 25 years and we have two sons. Cheryl and I were both raised in Ohio and we both attended Ohio State University.  I enjoy fishing, skiing and the beautiful Colorado outdoors. My wife and I also enjoy traveling in this great country and overseas. I enjoy history and visiting historical sites. We attend Foothills Bible Church in Littleton.

I'm blessed with good health without depending on any drugs. I receive regular chiropractic care, eat organic foods, take whole food supplements and enjoy hiking, skiing and biking for exercise. On a recent updated physical exam for a life insurance review, the nurse reviewing my EKG, blood work, etc. was shocked to find that all tests came back normal. She exclaimed, "You are very healthy!  In fact, I don't see hardly anyone over 55 years old that has perfect blood work, perfect EKG, perfect blood pressure, etc. and not on any prescription drugs!!"  I shared with her that I attribute my good health to regular chiropractic care, whole food supplements, and a healthy lifestyle which enhances my wellness. I would be a hypocrite to recommend to patients this health information and I didn't take my own advice! Besides, my family and scores of sick people are counting on me to stay healthy and active!
