About Dr Jake Cooke

Dr Jake Cooke graduated from the AECC in 2009 and passed the American Chiropractic Neurology Board exams in 2014. In 2021, he completed his Masters in MSK Neuroscience with a focus on chronic pain and dizziness/balance disorders. He’s the Chairman for the European Academy of Chiropractics neurology special interest group, with the goal of showing how neurology can be used to improve your assessment, treatment and outcomes.

Neurology lies at the heart of movement, balance, posture and pain. Jake’s goal is to make neurology simple and useful, not only for the weird and wonderful cases, but for every patient you see in practice. Neuroscience helps us to understand and explain what our patients are experiencing and how to help them. Neurology doesn’t need to be a complex subject, full of hard to read and remember words and pathways. It can be taught in a way that is logical, easy to learn and apply.
