I was born in the birthplace of Chiropractic: Davenport, Iowa, where my father, Dale Jacobson, was finishing his Doctorate of Chiropractic. When I was four months old, we moved to Belgium so he could study with Dr. Gillet, the chiropractor famous for taking chiropractic from the static "bone out of place" paradigm to the more dynamic system of functional evaluation via joint motion analysis.
He was inspired into chiropractic by our family and indeed has been part of it since 2002. Read all about him!. Dr. Patrick Ryan's passion for chiropractic care is rooted in his lifelong love of athletics and movement. Born and raised in Nevada City, Dr. Patrick relied on chiropractic care as a young adult to maintain his athletic pursuits in conjunction with a healthy, balanced lifestyle.
In a truly integrative fashion we combine Our expertise and treatment options to best serve our patients. I am pleased to offer Functional Medicine at our practice.
Over the last 10 years I have been quietly and diligently working with some of the best and brightest teachers and practitioners in Functional Medicine so that I can offer the community that so many of you have asked for: a system of medicine that takes into account the whole body and its function in order to uncover the root cause of what is ailing you.

Dr. Heather has pursued specialized post-graduate study in Chiropractic and craniosacral for pregnancy, birth and post-partum. She is Webster Technique certified and with three children of her own, she is very familiar with pregnancy and birth. With pregnant mamas, she mixes gentle chiropractic, muscle massage work, and craniosacral work with home exercises and lifestyle recommendations.
Dr. Heather puts special emphasis on analyzing the full picture of your health as a woman, realizing that neck or back pain is often the symptom of deeper and more chronic patterns. For example, pelvic imbalances, past traumas, gut health, emotional stress, past traumas, anxiety, hormonal changes and/or daily routines can greatly influence wellness.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Patrick since his practice in Portland, Oregon. I am so happy that we once again live in the same place (our hometown) and he’s taken over, with his sister-in-law, Jacobson’s Chiropractic. Not only is Dr. Patrick extremely knowledgeable and effective, he’s also kind and funny. Dr. Patrick clearly has a mastery of the human body and is sports minded-he’s great at giving you at-home stretches and exercises when needed and has been instrumental to helping my husband with his sports injuries. We love Dr. Patrick!

Patrick Ryan really helped my husband with some persistent shoulder issues/numbness recently. I could see the relief in his face after each session. He received stretches, and exercises to do between sessions which I think really expedited his recovery.
With this experience and such good reviews from others in my life I'm looking forward to seeing Patrick for some back issues I'm currently experiencing.

AMAZING! I'm from MT and I pulled my back while visiting family in CA.
I am so fortunate to have visited this place, it has literally changed my life. Dr. Dale helped my back but more importantly fixed the migraines I had been having since I was a child (mentioned on my first check in sheet). I have tried everything for these painful migraines (light and smell sensitivity, nausea, pounding headache). I have been to the hospital countless times for expensive Imitrex shots to reduce severity. Turned out that my migraines were gut/bacteria related and a simple diet change fixed everything! I bought
