Today we’d like to introduce you to Dr. Secora Lambert.
Hi Dr. Lambert, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
Hard work, faith and determination are the values that were instilled in me at an early age. I was a top California athlete in volleyball, basketball and track and field that was recruited by top Ivy League and Division I colleges when I blew out my left knee playing basketball. My mom took me to a chiropractor who provided rehab and got me back into competition. It was at this moment when I found my after-sports passion in chiropractic care.
After graduating from Life University in September 2021, I sustain another injury to my left patella that required surgery. During surgery, the orthopedic fractured my patella and placed a metal wire around it. The wire around my patella caused my quad to shut down and I lost all range on motion in my left knee. My orthopedic decided to perform a manipulation under anesthesia to break up scar tissue and increase my range of motion. The procedure increased my range of motion but tore every ligament in my knee. Another surgery was performed a year later to remove the wire and repair the ligament damage. After seeing numerous physical therapists and doctors, I finally received approval to rehab my own knee. Doctors told me I would never run again. This injury took five years for me to recover.
For over seventeen years now, Lambert Chiropractic and Wellness Center, P.C. has served the larger Dekalb community in the metro Atlanta area. That has included leading various initiatives like the one with Edward L. Bouie, Sr., Traditional Theme School where I educated the community, staff and parents on the importance of proper nutrition, good stress management, weekly fitness classes and chiropractic care. Health Fairs at Lambert Chiropractic and Wellness Center where free screenings were performed, sports physicals, person training, fire safety protocols taught and school supplies and backpacks were distributed.
In March 2018, SCOREMentors, an organization that has mentored small businesses for over 50 years, named Lambert Chiropractic as one of two Georgia winners and 102 nationally of its fifth annual American Small Business Championship supported by Sam’s Club. June 18, 2018, I received a proclamation from the city of Stonecrest as one of the top business. June 18th is also designated as Lambert Chiropractic and Wellness Center Day.
On December December 9, 2021, I became a Global Speaker and presented at the WYN Women virtual Conference, Dubai, UAE.
My trademark ChiroBae is currently pending.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
My first obstacle occurred in December 2001, when I tore my ACL while teaching. The surgeon fractured my patella and this injury delayed the opening of Lambert Chiropractic and Wellness Center for five years.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
At Lambert Chiropractic and Wellness Center, we care because I’ve been there. As a former All-American Athlete, I know firsthand the importance of chiropractic care. I suffered many injuries that held me back. The chiropractic treatment that I received in high school allowed me to find my after-sports passion. What sets me apart is that I’ve been there. I’m a former Sports Medicine teacher for state of Georgia. I’ve sustained many injuries so I know the importance of getting patients better. I’m most proud of my brand for our initiative of focusing on increasing awareness and knowledge on health issues that are prominent and systemic in the community. My goal is to empower community members to make intentional and informed healthy lifestyle choices.
I’m committed to bringing the best chiropractic care to the patients I serve. I stay on top of the latest research in chiropractic technology and advances in methods. Practice Areas: Auto Injury, Sports Injury, Health and Wellness Education, Cryotherapy, Electrical Stimulation Therapies, Cold Laser Therapy, Physiotherapy, Spinal Decompression, and Mysofascial Release.
