Our approach is to improve the lives of our community by helping people make lasting changes in their physical, nutritional, and mental health. We believe it’s not enough to just get you out of pain, but to give you the tools to avoid having that pain return in the future while improving the quality of your life.
When the joints in our spine or other parts of our bodies don’t move properly, it can lead to pain and other movement dysfunctions that can keep us from performing daily activities and reaching our goals. At Falkner Family Chiropractic & Sports Rehab, we utilize natural and effective treatments including chiropractic adjustments, massage, and cold laser therapy to restore your body’s ability to move pain free and allow you to reach your full potential.
Dr. Falkner was born and raised in Holly, MI. He realized the benefits of chiropractic while growing up and playing sports where his family chiropractor kept him on the field and free of nagging injuries.
He went to Saginaw Valley State University where he graduated summa cum laude with a degree in Exercise Science. After graduating, he moved to St. Louis, MO to attend Logan College of Chiropractic where he graduated summa cum laude with his Doctorate of Chiropractic. While there, he took additional post graduate courses on performance care and rehabilitation to compliment his chiropractic studies.

Meet Dr. Falkner
Dr. Falkner was born and raised in Holly, MI. He realized the benefits of chiropractic while growing up and playing sports where his family chiropractor kept him on the field and free of nagging injuries.
He went to Saginaw Valley State University where he graduated summa cum laude with a degree in Exercise Science. His studies there helped re-enforce the idea that “exercise is medicine” and that many of today’s health problems can be helped or cured through appropriate lifestyle changes.
After graduating, he moved to St. Louis, MO to attend Logan College of Chiropractic where he graduated summa cum laude with his Doctorate of Chiropractic. While there, he took additional post graduate courses on performance care and rehabilitation to compliment his chiropractic studies. His chiropractic training included several traditional chiropractic techniques such as Diversified and Gonstead as well as gentler techniques like Activator and Cox Flexion/Distraction techniques.
While in St. Louis, Dr. Falkner also received his Master’s in Sports Science and Rehabilitation where he was valedictorian of his class. His training there included additional classes focused on diagnosing and treating sports injuries and correcting biomechanics. He also held an internship in the University of Missouri’s Strength and Conditioning Program where he worked directly with the athletes of the football, tennis, swim, cross country, and track teams to improve their performance. In fact, Dr. Falkner is also a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, making him better suited to help both athletes and coaches meet their performance goals as a member of their support team.
Following graduation, Dr. Falkner joined a small percentage of chiropractors (less than 60 in Michigan!) when he became a board Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician®. He also is a certified provider for RockTape and FAKTR – two effective rehab techniques for soft tissue injuries. At his previous practice in Saginaw, Dr. Falkner had the opportunity to treat many of the collegiate athletes of SVSU, Delta, and Northwood.
While Dr. Falkner has a passion for treating athletes, he also enjoys keeping every member of the family healthy. He has treated infants and young children for colic, ear aches, constipation, and bedwetting using gentle, proven techniques. Dr. Falkner has also provided relief for pregnant moms complaining of low back pain, sciatica, and upper back pain.
Dr. Falkner and his wife Laura live in Grand Blanc with their daughter Maggie and their dog Lucky. When they’re not in the office, they enjoy finding new places to hike, playing soccer and tennis, and spoiling their dog with walks and treats!

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
Brian S
I feel significantly less, almost no pain when performing everyday activities that used to cause pain. I am also able to workout again, which I could not at the start of treatment. Many people say it [chiropractic care] doesn’t work, but after going through treatment I definitely believe it works. Also, the price might not be as high as one might think. The appointments were quick and times for appointments were flexible. I was well informed on what was wrong, and the plan to correct my problems.
Deanna P.
Dr. Falkner is a kindhearted healer and educator. He listens to, and takes care of, his patients with much knowledge and expertise. I have enjoyed his easy going sense of humor. I have improved under his care and would sincerely recommend him to anyone seeking an excellent chiropractor.
Haley L.
I was experiencing shoulder pain, muscle tension, and had not had relief for two years, My initial visit was incredibly thorough and I felt valued and cared for about. Dr. Falkner was very helpful in explaining my treatment plan and following through with it. I would recommend chiropractic care to all of my friends and family – even if they are not having current issues. It has greatly improved the quality of my life and my knowledge about my health. Dr. Falkner has been exceptionally focused on my individual treatment plan, providing therapy exercises and adjustments based on what I was experiencing. He made me feel like a person, not just another patient, and has improved my quality of life not only through chiropractic care, but through education and holistic, detailed care.
