Dr. Elain Tong was born in Pasadena, CA. Her interest in medicine began at a young age, after suffering multiple ankle injuries from years of practicing ballet. Her injuries were successfully treated by her father using the NBE method, which allowed her to continue dancing. When she was 15, her father taught her the NBE technique to help treat his own chronic illnesses. It was these experiences that led her to pursue a career in medicine.

Elain graduated from UCLA with a major in Psychobiology and a minor in Classical Civilization, and then went on to study Chinese Medicine for two years at Samra University in Los Angeles. She received her medical degree from Western University of Health Sciences and completed her Residency in Family Practice at Pacific Hospital in Long Beach.

During medical school Dr. Elain began helping her father treat his patients during rotations through his clinic. By the time she reached residency, she was successfully treating pain as well as non-pain disorders using this method. She joined Dr Tong in his practice full time in July 2008 and has incorporated homeopathic injectables to the NBE technique as well as the use of Brazilian crystals to enhance treatment results.

She has been a co-host of the radio show “Freedom From Pain Programs” with Dr. Tong since September of 2000, which now airs in Southern California every Saturday from 4-4:30 pm on KBRT AM740, and created their YouTube channel doctortong.
