“I came to FiveStarCenter with lower back pain & leg nerve pain about December 1st, 2005. Since then I have not had any back or leg pain. Not only have they eliminated back pain but also have had more range of movement as a handball player.”
Ken Dobler, Watsonville, CA
“After an extended period of suffering with lower back pain I was given a gift of a visit to Dr. Falkenroth by my wife. Though skeptical, I found that after a course of treatments the Dr. administered that the pain began to disappear, until finally after several months I was pain free & as mobile as I had once been. I discontinued the treatments for many months, but eventually reaggravated the injury w/ accompanying pain. Once again I sought treatment & once again the Dr. was able to align my spine & relieve the symptoms. Since that time I have visited the clinic on a regular basis – some 2 years now – for regular “maintenance” & have not experienced a recurrence, though my activities frequently include those that resulted in my original injury & pain.”
Michael Vensel, Watsonville, CA
“I had a bike accident. I felt pain in my back and other parts of my body especially my left foot. This treatment helped me a lot to recover, to walk normal again and to ease the pain that I am suffering. It took me like more than 2 months in my treatment and I hope even after many years will pass everything will be fine to me. Their treatment is remarkable especially the water massage. I know someday even w/o any accident I might come back here.
Thank you.”
Rowena Roco, Capitola, CA
“The first time I came to see Dr. Falkenroth, my back was out, I was in pain, and I could not stand up straight. Twelve hours after my first treatment my situation was dramatically improved. The treatments were not uncomfortable and I have always found Dr. Falkenroth to be kind and helpful.”
Laura Lee, Aromas, CA
“I came into Dr. Falkenroth’s Office in 2004 with severe back pain. He showed great care and patience in trying to relieve my pain. During the course of my treatment I had an MRI and discovered that I had 2 herniated discs. After months of painful physical therapy and eventually surgery, my pain became manageable. I started a maintenance program with Dr. Falkenroth in 2005 to prevent any future problems. At first I was skeptical about the effectiveness of the adjusting machine he uses, but I am now a huge fan. It instantly shows areas of my spine that are slightly out-of-whack that I might otherwise have simply written off as stress or tension. When something is out of whack, Dr. Falkenroth can pinpoint the area and treat it accordingly. I no longer suffer from chronic headaches and my back has never been stronger. I have been a chiropractic patient for many years and have tried various forms of treatment. I like Dr. Falkenroth’s “non-twisting”, scientific approach and have never felt better. I highly recommend Dr. Falkenroth to all of my friends.”
Brooklyn Taylor, Santa Cruz, CA

Jim Harrington, Capitola CA
“When I started coming to Dr. Falkenroth my back pain was causing me to lose sleep; I was in pain most of the time. I followed the plan set out by Dr. Falkenroth, and I have noticed a huge difference. I’m not consistently in a bad mood anymore from back pain.”
Kristy Tankersley, Santa Cruz, CA
“I was getting to the point that I was having trouble getting out of bed in the morning. As a UPS Driver that is not a good thing for me. So my wife made me an appointment with Dr. Falkenroth. It took several visits before I started feeling better. That was three years ago. Now I come in once a month for maintenance only and I am able to work without low back pain.”
Scott Smith, Watsonville, CA
“Since I began seeing Dr. Falkenroth for chronic (3 1/2 years) lower back pain, the pain has reduced. I am now able to do some of the activities I avoided due to the increase in discomfort the next day. He listens well and targets the right areas for maximum relief. The treatments were never painful and I always felt better after I left the office.”
Christopher George, Aptos, CA
“Four years ago I was in a car accident where my neck and back were severely knocked out of line. After experiencing a year of pain I decided to come to Dr. Falkenroth.

Jeff Deroza, Aptos, CA

“After seeing a massage therapist several times for a sore neck, she explained that she couldn’t get to the core issue. She said that Dr. Falkenroth has some advanced techniques that could help me out. I was very skeptical at first, but after 3-4 weeks, the pain has subsided and the visits are less and less frequent.”
Ken Pittman, Capitola, CA

Courtney Barrett, Santa Cruz, CA
“First of all I would definitely recommend the clinic to my friends. As for being skeptical, Yes, I was, but then I’ve been going thru this pain for many years. I admire Dr. John’s honesty in explaining every move he makes. I know it has taken many years of abuse to get my body in this condition, but I’m like everyone else – looking for the sure cure like overnight.”
