Dr. Jacob Bandelaria D.C.
Dr. Jacob Bandelaria’s journey into chiropractic began long before he ever thought of it as a career. At just five years old, he received his very first adjustment, an experience that left a lasting impression and sparked a lifelong curiosity about the body’s ability to heal itself. Surrounded by family and friends who valued holistic health and natural living, Jacob grew up with an appreciation for the ways simple, consistent habits could shape a lifetime of well-being. That foundation eventually led him to Life University, where he pursued his Doctor of Chiropractic degree and developed the clinical skills that he now shares with his patients every day.
For the past three years, Dr. Bandelaria has been practicing as a chiropractor and has quickly built a reputation for his thoughtful, hands-on approach. He believes that every patient deserves individualized care that not only addresses symptoms but also supports long-term wellness and vitality. His passion lies in helping people feel empowered in their health journeys, whether that means easing pain, improving mobility, or encouraging lifestyle changes that align with each patient’s goals.
Originally from Ohio, Dr. Bandelaria brings a grounded and approachable personality into the office. Patients often find that his ability to relate on a personal level helps make their care experience comfortable and enjoyable.
Outside of his professional role, he is an avid sports fan, enjoys time on the golf course, and even has a love for rollerblading. He’s also a movie and TV enthusiast—his all-time favorite film is Interstellar, while The Walking Dead remains his go-to series. And, in a fun personal touch, his favorite color is blue, which seems to reflect the calm yet strong presence he carries into his work and daily life.
Whether it’s through delivering precise chiropractic adjustments, encouraging healthier habits, or simply taking the time to listen, Dr. Bandelaria is committed to helping each patient discover what it feels like to live fully aligned, active, and well.
