Hi there!
I’m Dr. Saira Burney, DC. I was born in Colombia (para mi comunidad Latina, todos bienvenidos!) and moved to the States with my family when I was 8 years old. I have lived in a lot of places, but I consider Houston my home. During my undergraduate studies at the University of Houston, I started to develop a lot of digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, crippling anxiety, brain fog, the list goes on. Pretty much, I was a mess! I saw specialist after specialist and no one could tell me what was wrong. They just prescribed me a bunch of pills and sent me home. I refused to accept this as my destiny and looked for further answers.
I came across chiropractic through a video a friend sent me where I learned how the nervous system plays a vital role in how our bodies function everyday, and how chiropractic adjustments help balance our nervous system. It made too much sense to not give it a try. After a few months of consistent care I saw an incredible change in my body! No more anxiety or brain fog, my digestion got stronger, and even my hormonal levels weren’t in a state of stress anymore. I was in complete amazement! I then realized that this was my calling and I enrolled at Life Chiropractic College West in the hopes of being able to help someone like chiropractic helped me.
My goal is to educate people on how chiropractic can not only help with ache’s and pains, but ensures that our body’s nervous system is able to relax, heal, and adapt. All which are vitally important in order for us to feel healthy and stay healthy. By that, I mean sleep better, move better, have more energy, feel stronger, do the things you love without having your health holding you back. I refused to believe that medication was the only thing that was going to help me get better again, and I want to help other’s realize that they can get out of pain and feel their absolute best without always needing medical intervention.

Hi everybody!
I’m Dr. Shaina Nolley, DC, ACN, FMACP. I grew up in southern Indiana and moved to Chicago to play tennis during undergrad where I earned my B.A. in Music Business. Prior to this point, my life was filled with art, music, dance, theater, and tennis and I loved every second of it. Chicago was my home for 8 years and I’m a die-hard Chicago sports fan! After dealing with some health concerns myself, I found the healing art of chiropractic and was so inspired that I decided to move to the Bay Area and begin my chiropractic journey so I could help others in the same way.
I graduated from Life Chiropractic College West as an honor graduate where I spent all my time soaking in as many techniques as possible and where I first became exposed to functional medicine. The combination of chiropractic and functional medicine was such a clear harmony to me that I felt deeply pulled to further educate myself and provide not only chiropractic, but also functional medicine in my practice.
This drive of mine comes from a very deep and personal place. I’m a first generation student and I watched the modern American diet and lifestyle destroy my family’s health and then watched as they had no one to help them heal from it. They were prescribed prescription after prescription while side effect after side effect took hold over their bodies and ultimately led to more disease and untimely deaths. I’m so thankful that I continuously told myself there HAS to be a better way in our health care system than what I was seeing.
I’m here today because of my inability to accept that my family received the best care possible. I strive to be an example for the community that I grew up in, and show others that it is possible to break the cycle and become greater than the circumstances you were born into. I focus on partnering with my patients while educating and showing them that there is another way and they have the power to change the trajectory of their health. This practice is dedicated to my family who deserved better along with the countless other people who are forgotten in our health care system because of their race, sexual orientation, religion, or physical ability.
