I was first diagnosed with scoliosis at the age of eleven. My spine had a significant deterioration of the spine at 38 degrees in the lower curve and 40 degrees in the upper curve. My doctors were extremely concerned at the severity although I didn’t suffer from any pain at the time. I only noticed my shoulders and hips appeared uneven. The only options my doctor offere to improve my condition were wearing a brace or surgery. Immediately my life changed, and I was no longer a carefree child.

After wearing the brace for several years I still didn’t notice any improvement. In fact, my curvature worsened. It was very uncomfortable to wear and yet my scoliosis continued to progress. I tried some traditional Chinese medicinal practices as well as physiotherapy, but nothing eased my pain or lessened my curves. I was extremely frightened of surgery but I knew that I would eventually have to endure it. I lost hope for any improvement without surgery.

By the time I found Dr. Lau my spinal curves were 50 degrees and corrective surgery was imminent. I couldn’t believe his stories of success. I hopefully began his exercises, and I’ve noticed a 5 degree improvement in both curves. This was tremendous success for me considering my treatment occurred during the O level period and that I was extremely busy with schoolwork. My back feels much stronger, and now my shoulders and hips are level. Dr. Lau has restored my hope. I expect even greater success in the future.

When I was 12 years old, the government sent nurses to each school to do a scoliosis check up on all students. But I was the only one being called out to a tiny room. The nurses inside all looked at me with a worried look. I never forget that day. They asked me to bend down and confirmed that I have scoliosis. I was send to the General Hospital and was told by the doctor to wear a brace to stabilize the condition.

Initially wearing the brace was very painful. The hard plastic edge of the brace was always cutting my flesh, especially on both sides of the hip bones. It hurt so much even when I move my body, let alone walking. Over time, the flesh give way, the skin there becomes loose and disfigured to get used to the rubbing of the brace. As I have to wear the brace almost 23 hours every day, the skin trapped inside the brace become different and tears off easily. The sweat trapped inside the brace worsens it all. The smell of it was horrid and I can still remember till now. I always felt so hot and itchy when I started to sweat. But once I scratch it, I regretted it so badly. For the braced skin had deteriorated into so fragile and weak that once being scratch, it tears off so easily. And the wound could even ooze out yellowish discharge and sometimes even blood. It makes the smell even horrid. I felt like one walking corpse. The doctor could do nothing. Even I myself despised my own body. But I could not go without the brace. I still have to force myself to wear it. It was the only hope I had during that time to escape from operation.

In secondary school, my personality had changed. I become quiet, always hiding in the shadow. Everyone, including the teachers would give me a pathetic look. It is the pity and weird look they had on me that made me feel I am a freak. Being isolated, I soon become the easy target of school bullies. They are actually the top students from wealthy families. The principal and teachers doted on them, and entitled them as prefects. But behind the scene, they always like to pick on me, pushing me and I suffered bleeding bruises. But no teachers believed me. I was only a freak in their eyes. I went through all these at the age of 13, alone and quietly. The most painful part of wearing the brace is not my body, but my heart.

When I was 19, the doctor discharged me. He said my condition has stabilized and can go without the brace. It was the happiest day of my life. Thereafter, my skin recovered fully and is now all velvet smooth. But the backache that I suffered while I was on brace continues to turmoil me. I tried massage, heat therapy and plasters, but they only provide temporary relief. When I was 24, I went back to my doctor whom set up his own clinic in Mount Elizabeth Hospital. But he said I have scoliosis, it cannot be helped. I can only live with the severe backache.

In 2009, God asked me to get up from bed one night to check my mail. I did not understand as I never checked my yahoo mail. But I obey. And I saw Dr. Kevin Lau website. It simply blows up my mind. It is too good too wonderful to be true. Doubts and fear set in. For all these years I was used to live in hopelessness. And all of a sudden, hope appears out of nowhere. It is the fear of taking that step forward to hold on to that hope. Everyone around me is skeptical about it. After months, I finally took up the courage to call Dr Lau’s Clinic.

On the first visit, Dr Kevin is kind, humble and caring. He looked so different from what he appears on his website. But it is the shocking confidence in him that he can correct my scoliosis that makes me believe in miracle. To me, he is an inspiration himself. Without further ado, I took up a program for correction. I was totally committed. He taught me that exercise and nutrition play an important role too. He could lend me books to educate me on my own self healing. He is always so willing to teach me whatever I asked. He would diligently put up articles on his website and health blog to educate his patients for our own health being. He was being interviewed on radio, on TV and on newspapers. His book contains all the knowledge we scoliosis sufferers need to know comprehensively. It also contained evolutionary truths that will improve our health greatly.

During the treatments, my posture improved greatly and I do not slouch anymore. I followed his recommended diet, and I experience great change. My eyesight improved from 500 to 450 degrees over the 6 month period. My stamina improved greatly and I do not get so tired and restless easily. I do not fall sick, which I usually do. My skin complexion improve so much that I need no makeup anymore. Everyone find me getting taller too. My backache also improved over time. Most importantly, I gained back my self confidence.

After six months treatments, my upper curve of my ‘S’ shaped spine improved from 36 to 30 degrees. The lower curve improved from 35 to 26 degrees. The total 15 degrees is a miracle to me. It is a dream comes true. My hope was fulfilled. I am deeply in great multitude of gratitude to Dr Kevin.

Not only correcting my scoliosis, he imparted his relentlessly strong positive belief that changed my whole outlook in life. All things are possible if you dare to believe.

I was eleven years old when I discovered I had scoliosis through a routine school exam. My curvature was 10-20 degrees and not deemed significant enough to require a brace or surgery. Doctors continued to monitor me every six months, with no noticeable deterioration. I was lucky that I never was forced to wear a brace. Once through puberty I was eventually discharged and told my spinal condition had stabilized. At this point I suffered no pain or discomfort. Years later when I started working, I suffered from backaches after sitting or standing for prolonged time. I sought treatment at a local hospital and was prescribed glucosamine. The doctor attributed the pain to pressure on the spine due to the curves, and I was advised not to do any impact sports like jogging and playing basketball. As these were my primary exercises, I suddenly felt like I couldn’t exercise anymore. I simply stopped being active for fear of the pain.

By this time my curvature had progressed to 39 degrees. My doctor took annual X-rays to monitor the deterioration. I was told if the curvature passed 45 degrees then surgery was the only option available. Plagued by backaches, I feared trying any exercises, even if they were prescribed. Two years later I tried a chiropractic clinic for pain relief. Although the adjustments did help ease my pain level, they did nothing to correct my curvature. I noticed absolutely no relief from the glucosamine. I honestly felt that it was inevitable I would eventually need surgery. I felt helpless, and with little hope for any solution.

I am so thankful that I met Dr. Kevin Lau before my spine deteriorated any more than it already had. He restored my hope with his exercises and diet information. As I completed his exercises my core muscles also gained a tremendous amount of strength which strengthened my spine. My right curvature decreased from 39 degrees to 30 degrees and my left curvature went from 28 degrees to 27 degrees. The back pain and stiffness significantly diminished which allowed my activity level to improve. I no longer lived in fear of movement which used to lead to horrible pain. I feel that I can finally be proactive about my scoliosis rather than just sit around and monitor the changes and wait for surgery. Dr. Lau restored my hope in my life, and I no longer see surgery in my future.

At the age of 62, 46 degrees to 39 degrees and all because of Dr. Kevin Lau

With the number of visits to doctors, orthopedics, chiropractics and physiotherapist in the last 12 years, there was not much hope that I had for the scoliosis that I had been diagnosed with. But then there is always a ray of hope. And this ray of hope was lit by Dr. Kevin Lau for me. And I cannot thank him enough for the things that he has made possible.

Even though I was suffering from scoliosis ever since I was 20, I did not know about it. I thought that the condition was due to the manner in which I carried and conducted myself. It just seemed to be the manner in which I walked and not a medical condition for me. For years I lived with the right shoulder lower than the left making the left side of the waist look much higher than the right side. And believe me getting clothes that fit me properly was the last of my issues since there were many more pressing ones. I frequently had back pains, some of which were extremely severe.

When my condition was diagnosed in 1997 due to severe pain in the back, there was am X-Ray that was taken. But at this time, I had no clue about the degree of scoliosis that I had. Surgery was the only option that was suggested, something that I was not so comfortable with and so I consulted another orthopedic. While no X-Ray was taken again, I was told that the scoliosis was 20 degrees.

This time physiotherapy and surgery were suggested. I was still not convinced that surgery was the only route to be taken and I thank heavens for believing that it was not the only route for the condition. I went to chiropractic physician on my own since doctors seem to think that they can help in scoliosis.

While the physiotherapy did help in relieving the pain to some extent, the effect was only temporary and the excruciating back pain kept coming back. As if the pain was not enough on its own, a couple of sessions of chiropractic actually caused my back to hurt more.

And then there was my consultation with Dr. Kevin. Even though I was extremely skeptical about visiting another chiropractic practitioner, I did go ahead and meet Dr. Kevin. And that was probably the best thing that I could have done for myself. An x-ray was taken and showed that over the years it had increased to 46 degrees at the time I saw Dr Kevin Lau. Without invasive surgery, the improvement that I achieved in my scoliosis condition was 7 degrees and at my age! Today, I feel healthier, happier and am able to walk with a much better posture. I do not slouch all the time and there is no sign of giddiness, something that I felt all the time earlier. And the best part is that the back pain and fatigue and strain have disappeared completely.

I do not think that Dr. Kevin’s program is anything close to all the other experts that I have visited in the past years. The whole procedure involves only exercises, physiotherapy and nutrition, a therapy that you know cannot harm you in any way. The program is so easy that I can continue to ensure that I eat the right foods and do the right exercises to keep myself fit and healthy on my own too.

If there is anyone that I have to thank today for the confident, happy and stress-free me that I am today, it is Dr. Kevin Lau and his wonderful program!
