What Makes Scoliosis Therapy with Dr. Kevin Lau Different?

Dr. Lau is a world leader amongst scoliosis specialists and is regarded as one of the foremost experts on scoliosis exercise and nutritional based solutions. An Australian born native, Dr. Kevin Lau knew from an early age that he wanted to serve those with scoliosis. After graduating with his Doctor of Chiropractic from RMIT University in Melbourne Australia, he founded his award winning clinic in Singapore – a major international hub with easy access from other countries.

He has studied the most effective non-surgical scoliosis therapies such as Clear Methods, The Schroth Method, Yoga and various other techniques around the world, and combined them into his own EXCLUSIVE comprehensive and holistic approach to correcting scoliosis.

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.

What Makes Scoliosis Therapy with Dr. Kevin Lau different from all others?

Ever since his brother suffered from the condition when they were children Dr. Lau showed an interest in scoliosis. Through his own family’s frustration with the available treatments, he was led into the study of chiropractic.
In 2003, after his second year of practicing after graduating, he dedicated his time to researching and learning about scoliosis from the best professionals in the field. This included the CLEAR protocol, Schroth Method and Yoga.
In 2006, Dr Kevin Lau obtained his Masters in nutrition to further his understanding of nutrition in relation to scoliosis, and also based his thesis on that subject.
To date, Dr. Lau has managed thousands of patients with scoliosis, with patients flying in from around the world to seek therapy in his clinic or via skype consultation.

Overseas Scoliosis Correction for Rapid Curve Reduction

Recommended For Patients Who Live Outside of Singapore

Intensive Scoliosis Therapy is usually recommended for overseas patients, as this therapy provides excellent results in the least amount of time, and with minimal disruption to the daily schedule of the patient and patient’s family. It is comprised of 3-5 days of therapy (not including weekends) with each day’s session lasting up to 4-5 hours and normally totalling about 25 hours of therapy over the course of each week. Following therapy, the patient receives a comprehensive, customized home rehabilitation protocol designed to maintain the gains achieved during the therapy period, promote further gains in correction of spinal curvature, and help increase spinal stability during any upcoming growth spurts.

3 days of Intensive Scoliosis Correction is recommended for curvatures of less than 20 degrees.
For curvatures of 20 degrees and more, 5 day of Intensive Scoliosis Correction are recommended.

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.
