St. Petersburg Chiropractor | Dr. Frank Farkas

Sports Injuries Led Him To Chiropractic

Dr. Frank Farkas is the Clinic Director at Farkas Chiropractic Clinic. His initial introduction to chiropractic care was due to sports injuries that he suffered in high school. He was so thoroughly impressed with his recovery that he decided to pursue chiropractic as a career.

He attended St. Petersburg Catholic High School, St. Petersburg College and Eckerd College, receiving a bachelor's degree in health management. He is a graduate of Palmer College of Chiropractic.

Beginning Farkas Chiropractic Clinic

He started his practice in St. Petersburg over 30 years ago in a small office not far from the present clinic location with his wife, Toni.

He is a past graduate of Leadership St. Petersburg and Tampa Bay, a past president of the Pinellas County Chiropractic Society, and the Florida Chiropractic Association. He is also active on many local boards.

The passion Dr. Farkas has for public service led him into the political arena. He was elected to the Florida House of Representatives in 1998, and served four consecutive terms.
