“Every day I am challenged to help patients with complex problems. Everybody is different and health is complicated, so every patient is assessed on every visit before I decide what to adjust that day”
Dr Lydia Tan
Dr Lydia is a graduate of Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT). Originally from Malaysia, Lydia moved to Australia to study chiropractic and in particular Gonstead Chiropractic. Early in 2022 Dr Lydia moved to South Australia to work with Gonstead Chiropractors and reunite with her partner, who is also a Gonstead practitioner.
Lydia can communicate fluently in English, Mandarin, Malay and Hokkien. With these skills she is able to bring the importance of chiropractic care to the diverse communities of Adelaide, improving their health and helping to bring out the best in them.
“Life is busy. Often you realise your body needs help when it’s too late. Do yourself a favour and get your spine checked regularly by a chiropractor. You never know what’s hindering your performance and health until you experience the difference.”
