- By taxi or ride-hailing: drop-off is available at the building entrance, which is useful if posture or back discomfort makes walking tiring.

If you are attending for scoliosis assessment with a child or teenager, a taxi or ride-hailing drop-off at the door can make the visit easier.
What posture and scoliosis care covers
Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that can develop in childhood or adolescence and, in some forms, in adults. Posture-related concerns include rounded or asymmetric posture and the aches and movement limitations that can accompany them. This area of care focuses on conservative, non-surgical approaches to managing curvature and posture, with the aims of supporting spinal health, function and, where relevant, slowing progression in growing children.
Dr Lau’s work centres on conservative scoliosis management drawing on methods such as the Schroth approach and the CLEAR protocol, which use specific exercises and techniques tailored to the curve pattern. He holds a Masters in Holistic Nutrition, and his listed memberships include the International Society on Scoliosis Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation Treatment (SOSORT). Conservative scoliosis care often works best as part of a broader picture, and may involve coordination with medical specialists for monitoring, bracing or surgical assessment where indicated. Chiropractic is non-surgical, the title “Dr” reflects a Doctor of Chiropractic qualification rather than a medical degree, and chiropractic is not statutorily regulated in Singapore, so confirm qualifications and seek medical review where needed.
What to expect at a consultation
A first visit usually begins with a history covering when the curvature or posture concern was noticed, any previous assessment, growth stage in younger patients, and symptoms such as pain or fatigue. A physical assessment commonly follows, looking at posture, spinal alignment, movement and, where used, screening tests for curvature.
The practitioner then explains their findings and a proposed plan, which for scoliosis may include a tailored exercise programme based on approaches such as Schroth or CLEAR, posture guidance and advice on monitoring. They should explain what the programme involves and how progress will be tracked. Where measurement, bracing decisions or surgical assessment are relevant, they should discuss coordination with medical specialists.
Preparing for your appointment
- Bring photo identification and any referral letter or medical correspondence you have.
- Bring any spinal imaging or scoliosis reports, such as X-rays and any previously recorded curve measurements.
- List current medicines and supplements with doses.
- For younger patients, bring information on growth and any previous monitoring or bracing.
- Wear or bring fitted clothing that allows posture and spinal alignment to be assessed.
- Write down your questions and goals in advance.
After your consultation and follow-up
You will usually leave with an explanation of your curvature or posture concern and a plan, which for scoliosis often centres on a structured exercise programme to follow regularly. Conservative scoliosis care is typically reviewed over time, with the programme adjusted as posture, symptoms or, in children, growth change. Consistency with the home programme between visits is often important for results.
See the same practitioner where possible for continuity, and bring any updated imaging to reviews. Contact the clinic if symptoms change. Seek medical assessment for significant or rapidly progressing curvature, new neurological symptoms such as numbness or weakness, or marked pain, as these need specialist evaluation. You are free to seek a second opinion, including an orthopaedic or spinal specialist opinion, at any time.
Booking, referrals and fees
You can usually book directly with the clinic without a referral. This care is generally paid out of pocket; MediSave, MediShield Life and Integrated Shield Plans apply to defined conventional medical services rather than to chiropractic or exercise-based scoliosis programmes in the usual case. Confirm current charges, assessment and programme costs, and any package details directly with the clinic when you book.
Common questions
Can scoliosis be managed without surgery?
Many cases are managed conservatively, particularly milder curves, using exercise-based approaches and monitoring. Where curvature is significant or progressing, a responsible practitioner will advise specialist assessment.
What is the Schroth or CLEAR approach?
These are exercise- and technique-based methods tailored to the individual curve pattern, used in conservative scoliosis management. The practitioner will explain how they apply to you.
Is scoliosis care suitable for children?
Conservative scoliosis care is often relevant during growth. Monitoring and coordination with medical specialists are important, especially in growing children.
How is progress measured?
Progress is typically tracked over time through reassessment and, where appropriate, imaging. Discuss how and how often this will be reviewed with the practitioner.
