Introduction: A graduate of Temple University, where she earned her B.S. in Biology and M.S. in Biotechnology, Dr. Gunawardena worked in the Orthopedic Research Department at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia where her research focused on the pathogenesis and treatment of various musculoskeletal diseases such as Osteoarthritis and Hereditary Multiple Exostosis. After completing her masters, she accepted a scientist position with Janssen Pharmaceutica, but soon realized that the solitary atmosphere of a scientist did not allow her to reach her full potential. After experiencing personal relief from chronic headaches as a direct result of chiropractic care, she decided this was a way she could fulfill her desire to help people and she went on to receive her Doctor of Chiropractic from New York Chiropractic College. Dr. Tiffany Gunawardena is licensed by the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners and by the State of New Jersey Board of Chiropractic Examiners. She has also attained her Certification in Functional Medicine. She is passionate about her work and aims to live by example through proper whole-food nutrition and exercise.
