Dr. John Falkenroth, D.C. is the Clinic Director at the Back Pain And Sciatica Clinic in Soquel, California, USA.  After 20 years in practice,  Dr. Falkenroth has helped over 4,500 patients. Many of them suffered from back pain and sciatica.

Ever since he was a young boy growing up in Omaha, Nebraska, USA, Dr. Falkenroth has always wanted to help people. During his senior year in high school, Dr. Falkenroth realized that having a career in the health field would maximize his ability to help people.

Physiology Degree From UC Davis

To gain a strong background on how the human body works, Dr. Falkenroth studied human physiology extensively at the University of California at Davis. In 1994, he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Physiology from UC Davis.

While attending anatomy and physiology classes at UC Davis, Dr. Falkenroth continually recognized the importance of having a healthy spine to the overall health of the body. Your spine protects your spinal cord and your delicate spinal nerves. These spinal nerves go to every muscle, joint and organ below your head including your heart, lungs, intestines, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, adrenals, kidneys, etc.

Since spinal nerve roots come out between two spinal bones, spinal bone misalignments can create a pinched nerve. A pinched nerve will affect your muscles, joints and organs that rely on the affected nerves. In other words, if you have spinal misalignments, you’re more likely to have pinched nerves. This means that you’re more likely to develop problems and diseases in your body.

Some of the early symptoms of a pinched nerve include low back pain, neck pain and sciatica. Dr. Falkenroth realized that if he can treat that pinched nerve early on when the patient first feels low back pain, neck pain or sciatica, then perhaps he can prevent the patient’s muscles, joints and vital organs from degenerating or from developing a disease.

Palmer College Graduate Chiropractor

With this realization, Dr. Falkenroth decided to become an expert in treating low back pain, neck pain and sciatica. To complement his excellent physiology background from UC Davis, Dr. Falkenroth decided to go to Davenport, Iowa to attend the 100+ year old top-rated chiropractic college in the world – Palmer College of Chiropractic. In 1998, Dr. Falkenroth graduated summa cum laude from Palmer College of Chiropractic.

This website is dedicated to the countless number of people in this world who suffer from sciatica.  Dr. Falkenroth has been helping patients with low back pain, neck pain and sciatica for 20 years now, and he hopes that the articles that he put together on this website will help sufferers like you get relief.

From helping thousands of patients, Dr. Falkenroth has heard the frustration of many of his patients for being perceived by friends, family and co-workers as lazy, whiny and unmotivated.

Low Back Pain, Neck Pain And Sciatica

Since low back pain, neck pain and sciatica are conditions where people can’t physically see what’s wrong with you, for example, you have no bruises, cuts, scrapes or oozing wounds in your back or leg, it’s very hard for others to empathize with your pain and suffering, when all they see are the disabling functional effects of your condition.

If you suffer from low back pain, neck pain or sciatica, don’t lose hope. Dr. Falkenroth is here to help.

Hopefully, after you read the articles in this website, you’ll understand your condition better, and you’ll discover how you can relieve your back pain, neck pain or sciatica, so that you can sit, stand and sleep without comfortably, and get your strength and flexibility back – and live a normal life free of pain and suffering.

Traditional And Modern Treatments

Dr. Falkenroth works very hard for his patients. He spends many hours reading journals and research articles that cover best treatment methods for low back pain, neck pain and sciatica. He also attends over 20 hours of certified continuing education classes every year that cover different topics on the treatment of low back pain, neck pain and sciatica.

As a chiropractor, Dr. Falkenroth uses chiropractic spinal adjustments to treat his patients. In addition to the traditional chiropractic treatments, Dr. Falkenroth also uses modern chiropractic treatments that use modern technology.

For example, Dr. Falkenroth uses the computer-guided spinal treatment in the image above. This treatment was designed by engineers. It helps find spinal misalignments. Once it finds where the spine is misaligned, it then uses a special computer-guided stylus to comfortably correct misalignments and restore normal movement and function.

Also, Dr. Falkenroth is one of a few back pain doctors in the United States trained and certified to use Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression pictured above. This treatment gently tractions the low back spine to relieve the pressure off the spinal nerve.

After Dr. Falkenroth brought these two high-tech treatments to his chiropractic practice, many of his patients have found much needed relief of their low back pain, neck pain and sciatica.
