Dr. Amanda Kugel DC
Dr. Khai Lam DC MS
Chiropractic Sports Physician | Director of Education, The Lab | Founder, Podium Human Performance Lab
Dr. Khai Lam is a chiropractic sports physician with over 14 years of clinical experience and a master’s degree in exercise and sports science. He specializes in sports medicine, rehabilitation, and performance optimization through a systems-based approach that integrates movement assessment, soft-tissue therapy, and neuromuscular re-education.
Dr. Lam combines his background in chiropractic care and massage therapy with advanced techniques such as trigger point therapy, cross-friction massage, pin-and-stretch, instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM), and neurodynamic mobilization. His clinical philosophy emphasizes functional restoration—addressing the underlying causes of pain and dysfunction rather than simply treating symptoms.
As Director of Education at The Lab, Dr. Lam develops and teaches coursework in sports medicine, therapeutic exercise, and functional screening. His teaching approach bridges the gap between clinical rehabilitation and performance training, empowering students and athletes to understand how physiology, biomechanics, and recovery interact to influence adaptation.
Outside of his chiropractic practice, Dr. Lam is the founder of Podium Human Performance Lab, a separate entity focused on sports science and applied physiology. Through Podium, he leverages his background in exercise and sports science to conduct advanced metabolic and performance testing beyond the scope of chiropractic care.
A lifelong athlete, Dr. Lam has a background in competitive swimming and continues to train and compete as an open-water swimmer. His passion for endurance performance extends into triathlon, where he is an aspiring triathlete continually exploring the relationship between human physiology, resilience, and performance potential.
Dr. Lam accepts all major insurance plans for chiropractic and rehabilitative services. Please note that while we are contracted with most commercial insurance providers, Dr. Lam is not enrolled as a Medicare provider. Patients with Medicare coverage are welcome to be seen on a self-pay basis.
All appointments, cancellations, rescheduling, billing inquiries, and waitlist requests are managed exclusively through Jane App. Please do not contact The Lab by phone regarding chiropractic care, scheduling, or billing. All communications related to Dr. Lam’s chiropractic services should be directed through your Jane account for the most efficient and secure response.
