Like his grandfather and father, Jacques S. Whitecloud, M.D., is a graduate of Tulane University School of Medicine. Dr. Whitecloud completed his residency in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor where he received training in manual spine therapies, electrodiagnostic medicine and minimally invasive spine treatments. Dr. Whitecloud believes in not only pain relief, but in rehabilitation – the patient’s return to function after a back or neck injury, no matter how slight or severe. Non-operative interventions are his specialty.
