Heather Faye, D.C.

Dr. Heather Faye (a.k.a. Dr. Heather) has been practicing the art and science of chiropractic for the past 18 years. Most of those years she has had the opportunity to study, learn and practice, with her well known father Leonard J. Faye, D.C.; a legend in the chiropractic community.

She studied pre-med at McGill University in Canada and graduated from Western States Chiropractic College in 1988.

Along with the required skills for chiropractic proficiency, Dr. Heather has furthered her knowledge to include chiropractic rehabilitation, working with physical therapists and physical trainers in many prestigious sports facilities located in Los Angeles. She also works with many yoga instructors, combining the stretching benefits of yoga with the benefits of chiropractic. She has attended numerous seminars and courses and has countless hours of continuing education credits.

There is a strong emphasis on exercise and nutrition. She has evaluated hundreds of nutritional products, in order to be able to recommend the appropriate ones for her patient’s specific needs. As equally important as her recommendations, she lives what she recommends!

Dr. Heather has a strong sense of community which led her to volunteer countless hours providing chiropractic care and nutritional counseling to the women living at a local “women of sobriety” home. Treatment while working to achieve sobriety is an incredible adjunct to their care and recovery.

In addition to community service, Dr. Heather works with many individuals in the entertainment industry that through scheduling difficulties require “on-set” or house call treatments.

Dr. Heather highly recommends that her patients bring in their entire family for a check-up. Children need chiropractic too. Today’s school aged children are at a higher risk of spinal stresses, due to the books they must carry, now that most schools do not have lockers anymore. Additionally children and students are sitting at computers for longer periods. They are less physically active and are at risk of postural changes & tension if not checked regularly.

Dr. Heather has a son named Rylan, is the daughter of Leonard & Bernadette Faye; has two brothers; Michael, a photographer and Alan, a designer. Besides her son, her dog Cambie, a flat coated retriever is another love in her life.

Dr. Heather has been fortunate to have had her father as her mentor, for all these years. To this day students and current doctors of chiropractic attend technique seminars he teaches, and Dr. Heather gets to attend on a daily basis! You’re in great hands – literally!
