About Me

I’m Dr. Heather Banville DC, FMACP, AFMCP, a dedicated Functional Medicine Practitioner and Chiropractic Physician with a passion for helping individuals achieve optimal health and well-being. Throughout my career, I’ve seen firsthand how the body has an incredible ability to heal and restore itself when given the right tools and guidance. My approach to healthcare focuses on the root causes of illness, rather than just masking symptoms, and I firmly believe in empowering my patients to take an active role in their healing journey.

My Journey to Functional Medicine and Chiropractic Care

My journey into healthcare started with a desire to understand the human body more deeply and help others live their best, most vibrant lives. I was drawn to chiropractic care early on because it is a holistic and natural approach that focuses on the spine and nervous system, which are central to overall health. After becoming a Chiropractic Physician, I discovered functional medicine, which took my understanding of healing to an entirely new level.

Functional medicine allows me to look at the body as an interconnected system, where imbalances in one area can affect other systems. It’s not just about treating symptoms—it’s about addressing the underlying causes of health concerns, whether they be hormonal, digestive, inflammatory, or neurological. This approach allows me to work closely with my patients to create personalized treatment plans that are tailored to their unique needs, lifestyle, and goals.

My Philosophy of Care

As a practitioner, my philosophy is simple: your health is your most valuable asset. I view every patient as an individual with their own unique health story, and I take the time to listen, understand, and design personalized treatment strategies that promote long-term wellness. My practice blends the best of functional medicine and chiropractic care, focusing on natural, non-invasive treatments that enhance your body’s ability to heal and thrive.

I take an integrative approach that includes not only chiropractic adjustments to support spinal health and nervous system function, but also personalized nutrition, lifestyle changes, and stress management strategies. By using advanced diagnostic tools, I assess underlying imbalances, such as nutrient deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, digestive issues, and chronic inflammation, to address the root causes of your symptoms.

Specialties and Areas of Focus

My areas of expertise include:

Functional Medicine: I address the root causes of chronic conditions such as fatigue, hormone imbalances, digestive disorders, autoimmune conditions, and chronic pain.

Chiropractic Care: I use gentle, specific adjustments to improve spinal alignment, reduce nerve interference, and support overall physical health. Chiropractic care is especially effective in managing musculoskeletal conditions like back pain, neck pain, headaches, and joint dysfunction.
