Thank you for the words of encouragements all those years ago... after a year in SG I started therapy for my daughter with Dr Kevin and its been a year now. The first 3 months we reduced her curve from 50 to 42 which the orthopedic doctor was surprised. On the second xray we got her curve under 36. We are so happy that we were able to avoid surgery. Its been a year since stopping with Dr Lau treatment and I'm happy to note the correction stayed (I wanted sufficient time before posting the results). She still does the exercises taught by him. Just so happy this difficult period is over!
Macy_kids:The book and Dr Lau's treatment was literally was a god send for my daughters condition. My daughter who is 14 was diagnosed with scoliosis 4 years ago and had done everything like bracing hard and soft (nothing worked, in fact it kept getting worse) and was eventually recommended for surgery. This treatment has been a blessing and after 3 months of review with health promotion board her curve went from 46 degrees to 32 and the best news is the doctor overseeing her case said she doesnt need surgery any more! My daughter was seeing Dr Lau 2 times a week for 3 months and during that time it was difficult to get her to be diligent with the exercises he taught her to do at home.
The therapy is only 3 months with xray reviews... I dont know why someone mentioned 2 years min to see results as I brought this up with him when I first met him. I dont want to wait 2 years to see results. He said he rarely ever sees patient over 6 months as he tries to teach the kids the exercises they need to do to continue there therapy at home. Now my only headache is convincing her to keep doing them while is an uphill battle.
Scoliosis is one of the worst condition to face as a mother and I hope no one has to make the decision of putting there kids through spinal surgery like i did.
