Dr. Diana Lam, D.C

Dr. Diana Lam, DC was born in Lima, Peru, but lived most of her life in South Florida. From the age of 13 she suffered with migraines (3-4 times a week), a condition she thought was hereditary. After several tests and exams over the years, she found no solution to her migraines, until she was referred to a chiropractor by her neurologist in 2003. Once her chiropractic treatments started, her whole world changed, as her migraines quickly disappeared after 8 excruciating years. The change was so drastic that she decided to dedicate her life to the profession, to help others as she was helped.

After graduating from Life University in 2011, Dr. Lam has been working with patients of all ages and conditions. She has worked in Lima, Peru and Washington state, Georgia, and South Florida, sharing the healing love of chiropractic everywhere she goes.

Dr. Lam currently spends her time away from work caring for her lovely children. She currently gets adjusted once a week as she feels this lets her resist the physical demands of work and motherhood. With a BS in psychology from the University of Miami, Dr. Lam understands that empowering others with the right mindset is key for improving and maintaining health.

Dr. Lam is an experienced professional that will help guide you on your path to recovery. She bases her treatments specifically on your body's needs using a variety of chiropractic techniques. Her eclectic knowledge and insights, as well as her attention to details, make her a well rounded practitioner.
