Dr. Jordan Fairley, Class of 2015, is a dedicated and passionate member of the Life West alumni community whose journey inspires both peers and future practitioners. As the owner of The Source Chiropractic, with two thriving locations in Oakland and Berkeley, Dr. Fairley leads one of the most diverse and dynamic healthcare teams in the Bay Area. They specialize in taking care of the whole person, from elite level athletes, to weekend warriors, high profile artists, and CEO’s to stressed parents who seek a body that can function and an adaptable nervous system. His team is committed to meeting patients exactly where they are and guiding them towards embodying the principles of natural healing, grounded in a deep belief in the body’s ability to heal and thrive when given the right support and taking the right actions to create change.
Dr. Fairley’s passion for healing is rooted in personal experience. After fracturing his spine at just 10 years old, chiropractic care played a pivotal role in his recovery. His journey continued through a competitive collegiate running career, where he saw success as a 3 time NCAA qualifier and All-West Region cross country runner. Along the way, he faced significant challenges from a misdiagnosed sciatica injury during the NCAA Track & Field Championships to surviving a near-fatal car accident that derailed his running career. These experiences now fuel his mission: helping patients overcome both acute injuries and long-standing conditions to reclaim a life of movement, fulfillment, and joy.
At the heart of Dr. Fairley’s work is a simple but powerful goal which is to help people break free from repetitive, limiting patterns and step into a more empowered version of themselves. Known for making patients feel truly heard, he emphasizes education, self-care strategies, and the belief that healing doesn’t have to rely on pills or surgery.
Beyond the clinic, Dr. Fairley plays a significant leadership role in shaping the future of chiropractic. As Chief Operating Officer within a growing national franchise network, The Source Chiropractic (8 locations opened to date), he drives operational excellence, marketing innovation, and scalable systems that support both patient experience and business success for new Chiropractors. His impact extends globally through his work with Kairos Training Culture, where he has helped train over 8,000 chiropractors and contributed to a robust library of continuing education programs and workshops designed to elevate the profession.
Through it all, Dr. Fairley is an active supporter of Life West, through support for the Kairos Club to mentoring preceptors and recruiting students through the Ambassador program. He is dedicated to mentorship and growth and supporting new doctors with comprehensive training systems that blend clinical mastery, communication, marketing and business development.
His vision is clear: to create confident, world-class chiropractors who are equipped to serve and lead.
Dr. Jordan Fairley’s story is a powerful reflection of perseverance, innovation, and service.
