Dr. Falkenroth has another way to help patients before they go under the knife. Dr. Falkenroth tries to avoid surgery for his patients as much as possible because he knows that the outcome of back surgery is not always good.

Dr. Falkenroth grew up in Omaha , Nebraska . Patients and peers love his easy going and honest personality and his genuine concern to help his patients. Dr. Falkenroth enjoys being a part of a patient’s goal to transform their spine from an injured spine to a healthy spine that can support their ideal lifestyle.
From his experience of treating hundreds of patients, Dr. Falkenroth knows that an injured spine or an arthritic spine will prevent a person from having an active lifestyle if left untreated. Sometimes, the spinal decay becomes irreversible and patients develop Advanced Degenerative Disc Disease. Many patients at this stage are not able to take care of themselves or their family and they become depressed.
Dr. Falkenroth and his wife have three young children who receive chiropractic care on a regular basis to keep their spine aligned and to prevent problems later on. When Dr. Falkenroth is not helping patients, he loves to listen to music, go hiking, camping, traveling, swimming, walking and enjoying the outdoors. His motto is:
“Life is short. Enjoy life and don’t go through life in pain.”

Dr. Falkenroth has always been very fascinated with the nervous system’s ability to control the human body. Her studies at UC Davis showed her over and over that when a nerve is pinched, the nerve eventually dies and malfunctions causing pain and/or disease to the body parts and organs that the pinched nerve goes to. Dr. Falkenroth became a chiropractor because chiropractic treatments are designed to remove the pinched nerve and to help the nerve regain its function.
