International Patient Guide: Travelling for Non-Surgical Scoliosis Care
Medically reviewed by Dr. Kevin Lau, D.C., M.H.N. · Doctor of Chiropractic, non-surgical scoliosis specialist · Last reviewed: June 2026Patients travel to ScolioLife from more than 25 countries for intensive, non-surgical scoliosis care. ScolioLife operates three clinics across Southeast Asia — Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Surabaya — and overseas patients choose their destination based on flight connections, visa requirements and accommodation. The clinical protocol is the same at all three: a focused programme that combines 3D assessment, scoliosis-specific rehabilitation and over-corrective bracing into a short, structured stay.
The three ScolioLife clinics
| Clinic | Location | Often chosen by |
|---|---|---|
| Singapore | Tong Building, 302 Orchard Road | Regional hub with the widest flight connections |
| Kuala Lumpur | Boulevard Office, Mid Valley Megamall | Patients from Malaysia and nearby, lower cost of stay |
| Surabaya | SOHO 2 Graha Natura, East Java | Patients across Indonesia and the wider region |
How an intensive programme works
1. Pre-trip review — send your latest X-ray for a digital Cobb angle review so we can advise before you travel.- 2. Consultation and 3D scan — on arrival, a full assessment and 3D postural and spinal scan set your individual goals.
- 3. Intensive rehabilitation — one to two weeks of focused, scoliosis-specific exercise and corrective therapy.
- 4. Custom brace fitting — if indicated, a CAD/CAM ScolioAlign® brace is fitted before you leave.
- 5. Home programme and teleconsults — you continue at home with a structured plan and online follow-up reviews.
Planning your trip
- Allow enough time — intensive stays typically run one to two weeks; we help you plan the dates around brace fabrication.
- Bring your imaging — recent standing X-rays and any prior reports speed up your first assessment.
- Sort visas and stay early — choose the clinic that best fits your flight, visa and accommodation needs — the care is identical.
- Consider non-surgical first — many travel specifically to explore alternatives to surgery before committing to fusion.

Frequently asked questions
Can I travel to ScolioLife for scoliosis treatment?
Yes. Patients travel from more than 25 countries for intensive non-surgical programmes at ScolioLife clinics in Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Surabaya. You can send your X-ray for a digital review before booking your trip.
How long is an intensive scoliosis programme?
Most intensive programmes run one to two weeks on site, combining assessment, scoliosis-specific rehabilitation and brace fitting, followed by a structured home programme and online follow-up.
Which ScolioLife clinic should I choose?
The clinical protocol is identical at all three clinics. Choose the one that best suits your flight connections, visa and accommodation — Singapore is the regional hub, while Kuala Lumpur and Surabaya suit patients closer to those cities.
Do I need to send my X-ray before travelling?
It is strongly recommended. A pre-trip digital Cobb angle review lets the team advise on suitability, likely programme length and timing before you commit to travel.
