His is the first scoliosis correction approach that uses nutritional support principles in combination with both static and dynamic scoliosis equipment. Recent clinical studies have shown that certain neurotransmitter (brain chemical) imbalances are commonly found in scoliosis patients. These neurotransmitters are directly related to your spine’s reflex control mechanism which affects your spine’s alignment. Dr Lau‘s therapy focus is to rebalance and correct these. Dr Lau’s successful method of scoliosis reduction produces amazing results using early intervention and manipulation instead of braces and surgery. We believe that while a reduction in physical symptoms will make a huge difference in your life, the right therapy goes even further. It can transform you by putting you back in control of your health, and reminding you that there is always hope. Other treatments focus only on the part of the spine that is curved, but our approach addresses the spine as a whole. By working on balance and weight distribution all the way from the pelvis to the skull, we are able to change the messages sent out by the nervous system. This addresses the root cause of the condition, which leads to results that last – a smaller spinal curve and less pain.

Mission Goals of Scoliosis Care
- Identifying Primary and Compensatory Scoliosis Curvatures as well as the root cause of the scoliosis. For example, is the root cause a neurological condition involving the oculo-vestibular system, the neck, the mid-back, or the lower back and pelvis? Identifying the root cause is a key to creating the best and most effective curvature reduction plan.
- Preventing scoliosis curvature(s) from worsening.
- Reducing scoliosis curvature(s) and restoring normal lordosis and kyphosis curvatures of the neck, mid-back, and lower back
- Maintaining curvature reduction and improving motion, flexibility, and strength to the joints, discs, muscles, and vertebrae of the spine.
