Get to know Chiropractor Dr. Eugene R. Faillace, who serves patients in Ronkonkoma, New York.

Recognized as a top chiropractor, Dr. Faillace (“Gene” or “Doc” to his patients) has been serving the people of Suffolk County, New York since 1970, first as a law enforcement officer for the County and subsequently as a Doctor of Chiropractic. He has been practicing chiropractic for over 25 years both in his own practice, Ronkonkoma Chiropractic, and covering for various chiropractors in Suffolk County, Nassau County, and Manhattan.

In his practice in Ronkonkoma, Dr. Faillace treats a wide variety of musculoskeletal problems arising from work injuries, auto accidents, stress, and everyday incidents which have resulted in pain. Headaches, neck pain, and back pain are the most common ailments.

Striving to provide caring, not just curing, treatment, he has seen impressive results with patients suffering from pain caused by disc bulging, herniation, and/or prolapse using spinal decompression therapy. Likewise, he has seen a large correlation of intersegmental joint dysfunction (vertebral) and myofascial pain syndrome (trigger points). Therefore, trigger point therapy has become an integral part of patient treatment and has proven to hasten patient recovery time.

Academically, Dr. Faillace holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from the University of the State of New York. He received his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from the University of Bridgeport School of Chiropractic in 1995, after which he embarked on his professional journey. 

Chiropractic is a form of alternative medicine that mainly deals with the diagnosis and treatment of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially the spine. A chiropractor uses spinal adjustments, manipulation, and other techniques to manage patients’ health concerns, including neck pain, back pain, headaches, vertigo and a long list of other ailments and conditions. They aim to improve patients’ functionality and quality of life by properly aligning the body’s musculoskeletal structure and enabling the body to heal itself naturally, without the use of medication or surgery.
