A native Australian , Dr Lau had known from a very early age that he would be dedicating his life to the treatment of scoliosis given that his brother had suffered from the condition . He graduated from RMIT University in Melbourne , Australia as a Doctor in Chiropractic and moved on to establish his award-winning clinic in Singapore where he sees patients from all over the world .
Holistic approach Dr Lau has had the good fortune of studying the most effective nonsurgical treatments for scoliosis , such as chiropractic , Clear Methods , the Schroth Method , yoga , bracing , and various other techniques from around the world .

Dr Kevin Lau
the ScolioLife™ System . This new approach is both comprehensive in treating scoliosis and holistic in treating the whole body .
Correcting the alignment of the spine Effectively utilising nutritional support principles , along with the combination of both static and dynamic scoliosis equipment , his approach is regarded as a first of its kind . Many recent studies on the causes of scoliosis have revealed that scoliosis patients normally show signs of neurotransmitter ( brain chemical ) imbalances . These neurotransmitters are , in fact , directly related to the spine ’ s reflex control mechanism and affect the alignment of the spine . The focus of Dr Lau ’ s unique ScolioLife™ treatment is to rebalance these with the aim of correcting the imbalances .
The key goals of scoliosis care that Dr Lau can achieve are the following :
• 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 key to creating the best and most effective curvature reduction treatment 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 .
