Physicians Referring Complex Chronic Pain Cases

Dr. Joseph Jacobs, Doctor of Physical Therapy and Advanced Clinical Nutritionist, frequently works with patients experiencing complex chronic pain that has not improved with conventional treatment.

Many patients referred to Dr. Jacobs have already completed physical therapy, received injections, or consulted multiple specialists without lasting improvement, and are seeking further evaluation for complex or unresolved pain conditions.

Dr. Jacobs developed the ASTR specialty to evaluate and treat structural dysfunction and soft tissue restrictions that may contribute to persistent pain and biomechanical limitations. Physicians may refer complex or unresolved cases for evaluation and collaborative care.

Dr. Jacobs used to suffer from chronic migraines, headaches, fatigue, and pain after his second cancer treatment. He could not overcome his disability and relieve his symptoms using the traditional modalities he had learned in school. This is what led him to develop ASTR.

Dr. Jacobs’ mission is to help patients restore function and overcome chronic pain.

ASTR Specialty Overview

The ASTR specialty focuses on identifying structural and soft tissue restrictions that may contribute to chronic pain, trigger point activity, inflammation, and impaired mobility.

Treatment may include specialized instrument assisted soft tissue techniques designed to address adhesions, scar tissue, fascial restrictions, and trigger points that may limit normal movement and contribute to persistent pain patterns and inflammatory responses within the tissue.

Patients receive a comprehensive evaluation to identify structural, biomechanical, inflammatory, and lifestyle contributors that may be affecting recovery.

Four Day Intensive Treatment Program

Many patients travel to Clermont, Florida to participate in the four day intensive treatment program.

The program includes:

  • Comprehensive clinical evaluation
  • Four consecutive treatment sessions
  • Structural and soft tissue correction
  • Personalized long term corrective recommendations

 

This intensive format allows patients to receive focused treatment within a short period of time while minimizing the need for repeated travel.
