objective, precise and gentle care 

Welcome to Foundation Chiropractic, and the practice of Dr. Michael Fauce and Dr. Samantha Dean Fauce. We are conveniently located in the Carlsbad Village, just west of the 5 freeway. Here, our professionals know that spinal health is not just about feeling good; it’s about having proper structure and complete function. It’s about building a strong foundation so you can enjoy your life to its fullest potential, always! 

We aim to educate our patients in a safe environment, while offering them a blueprint towards an improved, healthy lifestyle. By combining the latest technology with thorough one-on-one patient care, we strive to give our patients and their families the best chiropractic experience in Carlsbad and North San Diego County.

Our unique approach to chiropractic

Dr. Mike and Dr. Sam practice Structural Chiropractic. As a patient in our office, here's what you can expect...

• A comprehensive structural exam to reveal any underlying conditions that may be causing symptoms.

• Our structural adjustments correct shifts in your spine, resulting in lasting affects rather than temporary pain relief.

• No two people are the same, no two spines are the same. Our patient care is always specific to the individual, and never cookie-cutter.

• You will never feel rushed. Expect compassionate and attentive care.

To better understand our specialty, we want to be clear on what the conventional chiropractor is attempting to accomplish with their care. Typically they try to:

• Increase their patient's range of motion

• Reduce their patient's tendency toward muscular spasm

• Provide their patient's with temporary pain relief

In our opinion, these are great goals and most chiropractors are excellent at obtaining them, but we are different in our approach.

At Foundation Chiropractic in Carlsbad, our ultimate objective and purpose is the Structural Correction of the spine.

Most of the cases that we see in our office, many of which are given to us by referral from other local chiropractors or medical doctors, are for the correction of any Structural Shifts of the spine. The presence of one or more Structural Shifts of the spine is typically the underlying cause of many “symptoms” or what a Structural Chiropractor will refer to as Secondary Conditions. Structural Correction focuses on the underlying cause- the Structural Shift.

If you’re ready to get out of pain and lead a healthier life, we’d love to be a part of your journey. Call us at our Carlsbad Chiropractic office (760) 214-9157.
