Her story

She got here as a patient first.

Dr. Lee grew up in the DMV playing competitive sports and picked up her share of injuries along the way. In college she worked for a chiropractor and was treated by one. She watched her own body recover without drugs, injections or surgery, and that decided her career.

As a chiropractor since 2013, she has taken the hardest neck, back and sciatica cases: the disc problems that did not respond to therapy, medication or injections. She co-manages patients with neurosurgeons, orthopedic doctors and radiologists, and she added non-surgical spinal decompression to give those patients an option between injections and surgery.

She lives in Maryland with her husband and kids.

How she works

How Dr. Lee works

She does every evaluation herself

She takes your history, examines you, checks how your muscles and nerves are working, and goes over your MRI or X-rays with you.

She only takes cases she can help

If non-surgical decompression is not right for you, she tells you and suggests what to do instead.

Your plan is built for you

Your program is built around everything she finds in your evaluation, not around what an insurance policy allows

She re-examines you as you go

She checks your progress at set points and adjusts the plan as you improve.
