St. Petersburg residents who play hard – whether that’s competitive sports, weekend workouts, or just keeping up with kids – now have a new resource for staying active and pain-free. Coastal Chiropractic has announced that Dr. Heather Champion, DC, a Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician, has joined the practice.

She holds certifications as a Chiropractic Sports Physician and in Neuromuscular Dry Needling, and takes an evidence-based approach to care for every patient, from initial evaluation through full recovery.

About Coastal Chiropractic
Dr. Paige is a family chiropractor serving the St. Petersburg, FL community. She completed her undergraduate studies at the University of Indianapolis, where she received a Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise Science with a minor in Business Administration. She was part of the Division 2 Women’s Tennis Program where she helped take them to the Sweet 16 each year playing both Singles and Doubles.
Born and raised in Michigan, Dr. Paige discovered her passion for chiropractic care while playing collegiate tennis, as it helped her recover from disc injuries and completely resolved her migraines with the whole-body approach to medicine after being failed by the medical model.
Dr. Paige earned her Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Logan University in St. Louis, MO with her doctorate rotations in Louisville, KY, and Clearwater, FL. After graduation, she moved to Louisville, KY, and practiced in a big family chiropractic office for 2 years where she found the love of diversity in treating each family member. In Louisville, Dr. Paige also had her full practice of Acupuncture and Dry Needling treating the myofascial component.
It was always her end goal to settle down in Pinellas County, so she moved to St. Petersburg in 2023 while working in Bradenton, FL specializing in prenatal and pediatric care as well as general population. In 2023 and 2024 her office was awarded and voted ‘Bradenton’s Best Chiropractor’ before starting her own practice in St. Petersburg. It has led her to want to encompass a type of care that is direct to each patient’s needs, and she treats them as if they were her own family.
Her postdoctoral training includes the Webster Technique, Acupuncture, Dry Needling, and Active Release Technique (a myofascial stretching technique designed to release trigger points). She is dedicated to identifying the root cause of pain and promoting holistic healing to ensure optimal body function.
In Dr. Paige’s free time, she is cooking, baking, or training for some kind of race. She is active and takes full advantage of the Florida sunshine whether it’s at the beach, pool, or a long run. She loves taking weekend getaways to spend quality time with loved ones and getting rooted in what matters the most to her- Faith! You will hear her reference scripture quite a bit in her office, as God made the body to heal itself. She takes some mornings off to volunteer in the community and starts each day with the word of God.
