Personal Life

Dr. David Frerking was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, and moved to Florida as a teenager when his family returned to the Orlando area to be near relatives. His high school years at Tavares High School were marked by his love for the water, often spending time in the family pool or on Lake Dora. During this time, he met his future wife, Annette Driggers, while working at a local grocery store. After marrying Annette during his chiropractic studies, the couple returned to Florida, where Dr. Frerking began his practice in Tavares. Today, they enjoy a fulfilling family life with three married children and six grandchildren, cherishing the family bonds and community ties they have built over the years.

He continued at Florida Technological University (now the University of Central Florida) before moving to Iowa to attend Palmer College of Chiropractic, one of the top chiropractic schools in the country, from which he graduated in 1980. It was there that Dr. Frerking immersed himself in chiropractic studies, gaining a solid foundation in both traditional and emerging chiropractic techniques.
