Jacob Liskowiak, DC
Applied Kinesiology Chiropractor
Dr. Jacob has always been fascinated by the brilliant design of the human body and has enjoyed learning about it from every angle. He obtained a Bachelor’s Degree in Exercise Science and a Minor in Nutrition from the Miami University of Ohio. He began his career in the health field in 2004 as a personal and athletic trainer, where he developed a passion for empowering each person by teaching them as much as possible about their health and how to care for their bodies.
“Give a man a fish and feed him for a meal, teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime” is a philosophy by which he has always and will always abide. He continues to discover and create new ways to teach patients how to heal themselves and rely less on external means.
Several health challenges that Jacob faced, as well as those of loved ones lead him down an exciting path of exploring many different healing modalities for answers. After finding Chiropractic, and specifically the technique called Applied Kinesiology, he had what he felt was the most comprehensive way to look at the inner workings of the human form and function. The technique satisfied his desire to honor the connectedness of the mind, body, and spirit.
Upon graduating from Palmer College of Chiropractic, Florida in 2010, he spent one year practicing in Gainesville, Florida learning from an exceptional Applied Kinesiology Chiropractor. In 2011 he moved to St. Augustine, Florida and spent the next twelve years running his own practice. The last thirteen years of helping patients through their health challenges has been more rewarding and fullfiling than he could have ever imagined.
When Dr. Jacob is not in the office, he enjoys continuing to study and learn both new and ancient techniques in the healing arts, exploring nature trails, practicing yoga, and playing guitar.
"Through the years we have increasingly given our power away to a health care system and authority figures that don’t honor the wisdom of the body. My goal is to return this power to you."
