DCOA Recognized Provider

Dr. Melissa Faulkenberry attended the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville and graduated in 1994 with a Bachelor of Science in microbiology. She earned her Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Cleveland Chiropractic College in Kansas City in 1997, specializing in diversified, gonstead, activator, and extremity adjusting techniques.

Dedicated to her profession since 1997, Dr. Faulkenberry uses chiropractic care to improve health and wellness across every area of her patients' lives — from neck and back pain after an auto accident to fibromyalgia, headaches, and general body pain. By employing a "whole person" approach, she works to identify the underlying causes of pain rather than simply treating symptoms.

She is a certified ProAdjuster practitioner, certified balance training doctor, pro performance lifestyle advisor, and laser certified. Dr. Faulkenberry is also certified in peripheral neuropathy and nationally certified in non-surgical spinal decompression through a program approved by the International Medical Advisory Board for spinal decompression.
