The Joint Chiropractic

Dr. Jacob Minor arrived at the Brookhaven clinic location of The Joint Chiropractic in 2020. He received his doctorate of chiropractic from Life University in Marietta.

According to Dr. Jacob, as his patients call him, the best thing about being in the chiropractic field is living a life of service. “I love being a catalyst of positive change,” he says.

Raised in Milwaukee, Wis., and having worked previously in the Georgia cities of Buford and Decatur, Dr. Jacob enjoys spending his free time with his daughter, watching and studying old films, and playing the harmonica.

He says he knew what his career path should be while working in a chiropractic office as an assistant and seeing all the good work that was being done by doctors who were able to provide pain relief holistically, without the need for medication.

“I had been working as a massage therapist and saw the power that a 10-minute chiropractic adjustment had on people, that it was just as profound as a two-hour massage session,” he says. “I wanted to help as many people as I could. It made sense for me to expand my skill set.”

In Case You Didn’t Know

Dr. Jacob says the one thing he always keeps in his kitchen is coconut oil: “It’s what I utilize to cook with.”

If he could bring together any four people from history to create the dinner party of his dreams, he would extend invitations to musician Prince, boxer Jack Johnson, South African President Nelson Mandela, and iconic children’s television host Fred Rogers. “All four were positive people in their own rights, and they were outspoken on the things they believed in,” he says.

The most interesting thing he has done, he says, was live in Asia: “While there I was able to study martial arts with a true master. It was a fantastic opportunity.”
