Mayra is at the front desk, and is always so welcoming as you immediately walk in. It is very easy to make an appointment with the office. Mayra is always helpful in trying to accommodate as best as possible, and offers to place me on the wait list for sooner available appointments that work better with my schedule. I've been going to Dr. Mike for over a year now, and it has been so beneficial. My initial appointment, Dr. Mike sat down with me, listened to my history and concerns and thoroughly completed his assessment. After the assessment, he made his recommendations for the areas that he would be focusing on and how frequently I should be starting out with the visits. After over a year of seeing him, with all of the techniques and tools he utilizes on my back, I have noticed great improvement in the way that I feel. I am now currently pregnant and continue to see him. At the beginning of each session, he sits down, asks how I've been feeling, and explains the changes in techniques as the pregnancy is progressing. He truly takes the time to make sure that you, as the patient, have an understanding of what he does, and ensures that you have any and all questions answered after every visit. I have also been seeing Lori, one of the massage therapists in office, and having the combination of a massage, as well as the adjustment is the best! Having both Lori and Dr. Mike work in the same office is beneficial as they work hand in hand and are able to coordinate if necessary. Lori does an amazing job; she is very intuitive, attentive and sensitive to what your body needs, offering just the right amount of pressure as needed. I highly recommend seeking adjustments with Dr. Sam or Dr. Mike, and massages at Foundation Chiropractic! read more

I've been seeing Dr. Mike for a few months now. I have always had back and posture issues, and now having a physical job working with kids, my body has been all sorts of wack. At my first appointment, Dr. Mike spent an hour on me doing a thorough assessment. His patience, kindness, and professionalism was evident from the very first day! I felt very comfortable with him from the start. I've been going in about once a week since my first visit and I have seen a gradual improvement in my spine and joints despite the continuously strenuous nature of my job. And, as of a few weeks ago, my husband who has neck and back issues has also started seeing him (he commutes from Poway). At every appointment, Dr. Mike does a combination of techniques to get the best result. Getting adjusted hasn't always been a pleasant experience, but somehow Dr. Mike makes it completely stress-free. And he never pressures me to come in more than I need to. When I called once, earlier than my weekly appointment because I felt like I had pulled something, he told me to wait and see if my body resolves itself before coming in. I feel like he genuinely cares for his patients. Mayra at the front desk is also very helpful and kind. The office is very easy to reach. I never have problems with scheduling; they are very flexible when it comes to same day appointments and switching times to accommodate your needs. The office is very clean and modern with a calming aesthetic. My hubby and I are happy with our treatments so far and thankful to have found Foundation! read more

I love the staff at Foundation Chiropractic! They are friendly, knowledgeable and affordable. Kellen is an excellent acupuncturist. After just one visit, her service and skills released the tension in my right shoulder. I followed this up with bi-weekly chiropractic services from Dr. Mike. Dr Mike is absolutely wonderful! He makes it easy to relax when making adjustments to my back, neck and hips. I always walk out of their office feeling tranquil and ready for the day. read more

Dr. Sam is not only an amazing chiropractor, but the warmest person. In fact, this whole office is super friendly. From the second I walk in, Mira welcomes me (and usually my 9 year old daughter, too). Because they're so kind, we've actually met some of the other patients while waiting too. I mean, where else can you make friends in a doctor's office waiting room? I've seen chiropractors my whole life and really value an intentional approach. Dr. Sam has a plan and uses gentle but forceful movements. I was in a car accident in 2008 that has left me in chronic low back pain that now travels to my neck. I feel better every time I leave Dr. Sam's office. I've also had a massage from one of their therapists that was perfect for alleviating my ongoing neck pain. Love the whole experience here. read more

100% come here for your chiropractic needs. Mike is amazing. I've had other chiropractors through out my life following different accidents but this practice is truly wonderful and so far above the care I've received in the past. I started coming for serious pregnancy back pain around 12 weeks and have seen him monthly since. Mike is well versed and trained in providing care for pregnant women. My body feels so amazing after an adjustment and I feel so lucky to have Mike on my pregnancy journey--so supportive, kind and always has great advice for helping me stay active in my body as it changes. I'm feeling better than ever. Zero pain and I have no physical limitations at 30 weeks! Front desk and scheduling is a breeze too. 10/10 would recommend. read more

After not going for over a year I finally made time to go see Dr Samantha. In ONE visit she was able to fix the pain in back that had been plaguing me for weeks!! No, she is not a miracle healer, however, she was able to get my back into proper alignment as well as give me the tools to build a better core to keep that alignment. She is one of a kind ( well technically two of a kind because her husband mike is also amazing). I highly recommend them for any type of chiropractic issues! Thank you Dr Sam and Dr Mike for always being so great at what you do! read more

I have been going to Foundation since 2018 when I was pregnant. I have seen both Mike and Sam, they are both fantastic. I most recently saw Samantha, she is so amazing a sweet. I was in such pain when I went in and after the adjustment on my back and the therapy she did on my knee, I woke up feeling SO much better. She took my pain from a 10 to a 2, I am so grateful. This place is the best! 10/10 recommend!!!! read more

I've been seeing Dr. Sam now for a few months during my pregnancy and I feel amazing after each and every appointment. She's specializes in the Webster Technique and is super knowledgeable in her field. Being a first time mother and high risk, I am doing everything I can to have a healthy and safe pregnancy. She's very understanding and patient and shares her knowledge and tips for what I can do for my pregnancy needs outside of chiropractic care. Her and her husband work together and her office staff (Myra) are so very friendly and understanding (especially when I'm running a few mins behind.) I highly recommend going to Foundation Chiropractic! read more

I had just hurt my back and neck. I was in excruciating pain, and had numbness down my entire right arm as well as half of my left arm. I had just moved to the area, and had no idea who trust. A friend recommended Foundation Chiropractic to me. I called, and got an appointment the very next day. After an X-ray, Dr. Mike gave me a diagnosis. I had some reservations, but Dr. Mike worked around those and set me up with a treatment plan tailored for me. About a week into my treatment plan, I began to feel better. About 2 months later, I was cured. Once my treatment was complete, Dr. Mike guided me through a daily exercise routine to help prevent recurrence of my injury. Dr. Mike and Dr. Sam are some of best that I know. They, and the rest of their staff, truly care about all their clients and make you feel like family. read more

Drs. Sam and Mike are knowledgeable, wonderful Chiropractors and people! They are so thorough and address every one of my problem areas (I have a lot of them) every appointment. They also give great advice about what I can do at home to take better care of myself and improve my problem areas. The entire staff is so friendly and great, and I love their office (clean, educational posters, great music and ambiance). The location is easy to find, has private parking, and is right in Carlsbad Village close to the beach, great food, and fun things to do! read more

The BEST Chiropractors! Since 1996 from a car accident, I have seen a lot of Chiropractors from LA, Orange and San Diego Counties. Dr. Mike and Dr. Samantha do not only help get you out of pain but they listen and pay attention to get to the heart of what is causing the pain so you heal faster! GO HERE FIRST! read more

Not only is Dr.​ Mike a cut above chiropractor, but he is thorough, making sure he gives you the best adjustment possible. I felt as if he really understood my​ health​h situaton. He had tall shoes to fill becaue I loved my prior chiropractor. And I hear his wife is just as great. I can't wait! read more

I am so glad I found Dr. Michael & Samantha Fauce. My husband and I were in a car accident in November and after the chiropractor I'd been seeing for 2 years dropped the ball on our case then the new chiropractor stated they didn't accept our insurance after the claim was paid out, I was in search of another practice that would accept our insurance. I wish that I had found them in the beginning. They are personable and take their time but I've never had to wait to be seen. Dr. Michael always asks for feedback. Their location is also convenient with easy parking and good hours for my schedule. Highly recommend. read more

This is the best chiropractic experience I have ever had. Sam is amazing and so nice, she explains everything she is doing so you understand the medical stuff. I had a back injury and feel so much better after just 3 times seeing her. Also, their massages are to die for! Best massage I have ever had, she understood the parts of my body that hurt and really took care to make sure she was making me better. As an athlete, this massage was exactly what I needed. read more

I cannot say enough good things about foundation and Dr. Mike. I love coming in and look forward to my adjustments. I feel like everyone treats me like a friend and not a patient. On top of that my adjustments have relieved so much of my pain and headaches. I worried at the beginning that it wasn't working, but it just took time and sure enough, Dr. Mike was patient and explained this to me. He is always attentive to my daily activities and how they are affecting my body. Because of this he's provided me stretches on top of my adjustments to help get me through the tough weeks. Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for excellent care and excellent customer service. read more

Sam and Michael are great! Dr. Mike listened and took care of me based on my comfort level. I had some soreness and tightness in my neck and upper back due to long days at my desk. Dr. Mike put me on a plan of periodic visits and then stretches I could do throughout the day. I am feeling so much better. I always look forward to my visits. read more

Dr Sam is fantastic. She explains what she is doing and is friendly. She listens to how the adjustments are working for you. Friendly staff and nice office. read more

I've been going to Dr Mike and Samantha for over a year now. It has been by far the best chiropractic experience I've had. They're extremely accommodating with appointments, always spend that extra time listening and making sure they've helped as much as possible. Thanks! read more

Initially, I came to Foundation Chiropractic because I was in a car accident and after 4 days I could barely walk and was in horrible, excruciating pain. Mira, the receptionist, took my call and was nothing but professional, caring and expressed so much empathy for my situation. My first day at Foundation Chiropractic, I received a warm welcome and tender loving care by Dr. Michael. The pain I was experiencing was depilating therefore lead to a waterfall of tears that flowed none stop. I would consider myself a high pain tolerance person but this was beyond pain......it was crippling. Dr. Michael was informative, tender and reassured me everything was going to be okay but was real about my finding and the care I would need in order to feel better. I have been under Dr. Michael's care for almost 4 months and so thankful for everyone involved in making a difference in my health. Every single person in Foundation Chiropractic has contributed to my well being and helping me get back on track. Everyone has shown nothing but professionalism, love and empathy along with educating me along the way. I owe a huge thank you to everyone in this office. I am a believer of chiropractic care and have been since my 20's. My children received their first adjusted within a week of life. I have worked in the industry and have been exposed to several different chiropractors and styles. I am here to tell you not only will I continue being a patient of Foundation Chiropractic but my kids, now 19 and 22, will also be a part of the this amazing family of wellness. I encourage you to make the call and get started today! read more

I've been seeing Dr Sam for close to 4 years and followed her from her previous location in Carlsbad. I used to see a chiropractor when I was a kid and perhaps didn't realize how instrumental it was in my overall well being. When I was in my late 20's I started to get chronic sinus infections and didn't really get any relief from my regular doctor, other than "here, take this." I decided I'd go seek a more holistic approach and started with chiropractic. I went from having 2-3 sinus infections a year for 3 years, to zero. I now have my wife on board and we couldn't be happier with the obvious health benefits of regular chiropractic visits. Thanks Dr Sam! read more
