Meet Matthew Jacobs

We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Matthew Jacobs a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Matthew , thank you so much for joining us. You are such a positive person and it’s something we really admire and so we wanted to start by asking you where you think your optimism comes from?
My optimism comes from the way I think about things, a positive mindset is super important as a entrepreneur. I believe that every problem is like a puzzle waiting to be solved. When something hard happens at work, instead of getting upset, I put a positive twist on it and think of it as a challenge. It’s like a game where I have to find the best answer.

Sometimes, the answer is easy to find, like when you know just the right piece to fit into a puzzle. Other times, it’s more like a treasure hunt, and I have to think outside the box. But I always know there’s a solution out there, that keeps me optimistic no matter how hard the problem or task may be. I believe that with some hard work and creative thinking, I can solve any problem that comes my way. All I have to do is find the answer I know is out there. My optimism comes from my ability to gamify problems and tough situations.

Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?
At The Disc Doctor, we’re committed to helping individuals with disc herniations find relief without resorting to medications or surgeries. Located in the heart of Murfreesboro, Tennessee, we specialize in spinal decompression therapy, which has proven to be a game-changer in alleviating chronic pain and improving our patients’ quality of life. Our core mission is to empower the members of our community to take an active role in their health while providing them with the highest quality of care.

A unique feature that sets us apart is our bilingual capability. We offer services in both English and Spanish, ensuring that we’re accessible to a broader segment of our community. Language should never be a barrier to receiving top-notch healthcare, and at The Disc Doctor, it isn’t.

What truly distinguishes us is our holistic approach to each patient’s well-being. We pride ourselves on offering personalized care plans that combine medical expertise with a genuine human touch. One patient, for example, came to us with a severe condition, believing that he would be disabled for life. After a year of targeted treatments and a nurturing environment, he’s regained his day-to-day functionality. He specifically credited our team’s deep medical expertise and the emotional support they provided, stating that we’ve ‘improved his quality of life exponentially.’

Looking ahead, we’re excited about the future. We continuously update our knowledge and techniques to include the latest advancements in chiropractic care, ensuring our patients benefit from the most effective treatments available.

If you’re seeking a chiropractic office that marries medical expertise with heartfelt care, The Disc Doctor is your go-to solution. Our ultimate aim is for every patient to walk out of our doors with not just alleviated pain, but also the knowledge and empowerment to take charge of their own health.

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
Reflecting on my journey, three critical elements have been instrumental: Emotional Intelligence, Industry Expertise, and Creative Thinking.

Emotional Intelligence: This quality has been invaluable in my interactions with patients and team members alike. Understanding people’s needs, being empathetic, and maintaining a calm demeanor in stressful situations has helped build strong, trusting relationships. My advice is to read books on emotional intelligence and practice active listening and empathy in all your interactions.

Industry Expertise: Staying at the forefront of chiropractic care techniques, like spinal decompression, has not only set us apart but has been critical for patient success. I strongly recommend continuously updating your skills and staying informed about industry trends. Always be learning—whether it’s through courses, seminars, or research.

Creative Thinking: Being able to think outside the box has often led to solutions that may not be immediately obvious. This skill has been crucial in solving complex cases or when we have hit a roadblock. To improve in this area, try stepping out of your comfort zone, engaging in activities that challenge your thinking, or even taking courses in fields that are outside your specialty to broaden your perspective.

My advice for those early in their journey is to invest in themselves. This is an ongoing process, not a one-time event. Consider hiring a coach who can hold you accountable and push you to become the highest version of yourself. The benefits of this professional guidance can be transformative, both personally and professionally.”

Okay, so before we go we always love to ask if you are looking for folks to partner or collaborate with?
Yes, we are actively seeking opportunities to collaborate, particularly with fellow chiropractors. Our focus is on mentorship, aimed at teaching how to excel not only as a lead doctor but also as a business owner in the chiropractic field. We believe that the exchange of industry insights, business acumen, and successful case studies can be mutually beneficial.

If you’re a chiropractor looking to elevate your practice and are interested in mentorship or collaboration, we’d love to hear from you. Please visit our website, www.createmyripple.com, where you can find more information and reach out to us for a partnership.

We’re excited about the possibility of working together to enhance the quality of chiropractic care and the success of practices nationwide.
