The Joint Chiropractic Midtown

Dr. Jacob Anderson became part of The Joint Chiropractic’s team of local healthcare providers in 2021 when he began serving residents in Atlanta, where he continues doing the work he finds so rewarding.

“The best thing about working as a chiropractor is being able to help people get back to doing the things they love without pain or restriction,” he says. “I love how many different people I get to meet. People from so many diverse backgrounds frequently find their way into The Joint and it is so cool to see that, no matter how many differences people have, all of them will benefit from chiropractic care.”

Raised in Natchitoches, La., Dr. Anderson attended University of Louisiana at Monroe before going to Life University, where he graduated summa cum laude on his way to getting his doctorate of chiropractic. He worked previously in Marietta, Kennesaw, Alpharetta, and Cumming.

In his spare time, Dr. Anderson -- you can also call him Dr. Jacob -- enjoys spending time with friends, playing and watching sports, and being active.physically.

“I remember my first experience shadowing a chiropractor,” he says. “Nearly every patient who walked in the door was effusive in their praise for the doctor and the work he did in helping them get back to doing the things that were important to them or helping them avoid surgery. I knew then that I wanted to be in a field that could have this big of an impact on the quality of people’s lives.”

In Case You Didn’t Know

If he could bring together any four people from history for his ideal dinner party, Dr. Anderson would send invitations to assassinated San Francisco supervisor Harvey Milk, tennis superstar Serena Williams, singer Lady Gaga, and comedy writer Bowen Yang.

“They are all people who were, or are, successful in their respective fields but who have had different things they had to overcome to have their careers,” he says. “I just think there is so much I could learn from them about persevering when there was not necessarily someone like them who could serve as a role model or example of success.

Dr. Anderson says the one thing he always keeps stocked in his refrigerator is a carton of eggs: “They are delicious, but they are also very nutritious.and easy to prepare.” One of his favorite experiences took place in 2021 when “my friend and I were able to be in attendance when the Braves advanced to the World Series for the first time in over 20 years,” he says. “The collective excitement and energy in the stadium was unlike anything else I had experienced.”
