Alum Story: Dr. Lee Grew Up with Holistic Medicine

Lillian Lee, DC ‘15 sees patients of all ages, from babies to the elderly. She specializes in pain—both acute and chronic — in her private practice, Elite Care Chiropractic.  

Why? She saw a need. “I appreciate the chiropractic profession because there are so many ways you can specialize” she shared. “I chose to specialize in treating patients with chronic pain and acute injuries just because back pain is one of the leading conditions that causes people to be disabled. And it’s one of the most common reasons people seek chiropractic care.”  

To best support her chronic pain patients, Dr. Lillian creates custom treatment plans and utilizes acupuncture, soft tissue therapies, and other manual therapies as part of her appointments. With this approach, she supports patients with neck pain, back pain, chronic migraines, and more.  

Seeing patients from when they’re in so much pain and unable to do their daily activities, to seeing their bodies heal and them being able to go back to what they do daily, it makes me feel so proud of the profession that I chose.”  

Dr. Lillian spends more time with her patients than many healthcare professionals. Her schedule is busy, so much so that she doesn’t have the flexibility she imagined she’d have working for herself. But the trade-off is worth it: “I love being a chiropractor because of the relationships that I get to build with patients,” she shared. “I get excited to go to work every day because it doesn’t feel like work.”
