Dr. Tapia experienced NUCCA Spinal Care as a patient before she graduated from chiropractic school. She quickly became an advocate for this specialty chiropractic technique as she saw patient after patient get help and relief. She learned several upper cervical techniques but came back to NUCCA as it was a lifesaver for her own personal health. As a lifelong learner, she continually grows professionally and has advanced post-graduate training in Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression, Knee Rehabilitation and Neuropathy Treatments.

She completed the post-graduate Academy of Chiropractic Philosophers Program through Sherman College of Chiropractic after completing her doctorate from Life Chiropractic College West. She was honored as the Outstanding Graduate for her Bachelor’s degree in Human Nutrition at San Diego State University and also holds a Master’s degree in Education.

She draws on her prior career experience as a science teacher at Sweetwater High School, and from working at the diet office at Alvarado Hospital. She also leans on her prior pharmaceutical industry experience to better help patients with their health. On her personal time, she enjoys gardening, reading great books, and hiking with her dog, Charlie. She is fluent in Spanish as she is originally from Mazatlan, Mexico but has called San Diego home for over 40 years.
