Dr. Jerry Lam is an Advanced Certified Chiropractic BioPhysics® (CBP®) Doctor in Victoria with a clinical focus on postural and spinal alignment correction, spinal deformities, whiplash and motor vehicle injuries (ICBC/MVC), sports injuries, and long-term spinal health.

His approach is built on a simple principle:

Symptoms are important—but they are not always the whole problem.

Pain and other symptoms may be the reason you seek care, but they do not always tell the complete story of what is happening with your spine and movement system. For patients with persistent or recurrent problems, Dr. Lam’s approach is to identify the underlying structural and biomechanical factors that may be contributing to the problem and address them systematically so result can last.

What to Expect From Your Care

Care with Dr. Lam begins with a comprehensive assessment, rather than simply treating the area that hurts. Depending on your presentation, this may include posture and movement analysis, neurological and orthopedic examination, and clinically indicated X-ray-based structural assessment.

Your findings are then reviewed with you so that you understand:

• What may be contributing to your symptoms
• Whether there are underlying structural or postural findings that should be addressed
• What can realistically be improved
• What type of care may be appropriate for your individual situation

Treatment is generally organized into three stages, although not every patient will require every stage or spend the same amount of time in each one.

1.Symptom-Focused Care

The initial priority is to reduce pain and irritation, improve mobility and function, and help you return to normal daily activities.

This phase is focused on helping you feel and function better—not simply masking symptoms.

2.CBP® Corrective Care

If your assessment identifies meaningful structural or postural abnormalities that are appropriate for correction, care may progress into a more comprehensive Chiropractic BioPhysics® corrective program.

CBP® is a technique and rehabilitation approach that combines spinal adjustments, specific traction procedures, posture rehabilitation, and corrective exercises with the goal of producing measurable changes in spinal alignment and function.

Corrective care is individualized. There is no universal number of visits required to achieve a particular correction. Some structural problems may respond more quickly, while others may require a longer period of consistent care. Progress is monitored through objective findings, functional changes, and—when appropriate—repeat structural assessment.

The goal is not simply to make you feel better temporarily, but to work toward the best realistic structural and functional outcome for your individual presentation.

3.Wellness & Stability Care

Once an appropriate level of correction and functional improvement has been achieved, the focus can transition from active correction to maintaining the improvements you’ve made.

Wellness and stability care is individualized and may include periodic chiropractic care, exercise, mobility, posture strategies, and other recommendations based on your needs and goals.

A Multimodal, Evidence-Informed Approach

Dr. Lam utilizes an integrated approach that may include:

• Manual and instrument-assisted chiropractic adjustments
• Multi-directional CBP® spinal traction
• Spinal decompression
• Postural rehabilitation and corrective exercise
• Shockwave therapy
• Photobiomodulation / laser therapy

Not every treatment is appropriate for every patient. Recommendations are based on the clinical findings, goals, and response to care.

Dr. Lam is a Gold Member of the Chiropractic BioPhysics® Non-Profit, an organization dedicated to advancing CBP® research and education, and is also a member of the International Chiropractic Association (ICA) and the Chiropractic Defense Council.

He is fluent in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin, and accepts ICBC patients.

Outside the clinic, Dr. Lam is a black belt Judo coach and member of the University of Victoria Judo Club. He remains committed to ongoing postgraduate education, clinical training, and evidence-informed practice to continually improve the care he provides to his patients and community.

Before You Book

An assessment with Dr. Lam is the starting point of the process—not a commitment to a predetermined treatment plan.

The purpose of the assessment is to determine what is actually going on, what can be improved, and what level of care is appropriate for you.

If your primary goal is simply short-term symptom relief, that will be addressed. However, if your assessment identifies an underlying structural or postural problem that warrants correction, Dr. Lam will explain the corrective options and what that process may involve.

The objective is to match the level and duration of care to the problem—not to put every patient through the same treatment plan.

I just wish I had known then what I know now. I experienced a decade of unnecessary chronic pain, from an injury that happened slowly over time, doing my favorite activity: competitive swimming. This ultimately guided my first career as a Registered Massage Therapist. While working in a NUCCA chiropractic clinic, one of the doctors offered to assess my chronic shoulder injury. At first, I was skeptical, but when he explained the mechanics of this technique, it made perfect sense. I had regular NUCCA adjustments, and within 6 weeks, I was pain free. Moreover, I was so inspired and convinced from this personal experience, that I decided to pursue NUCCA chiropractic as my career. Being a curious and stubborn individual I haven’t stopped learning and continue to add new techniques and experience to my practice.
