The problem started with my right toe and after Jessica treated me me the pain of the ingrowth is totally gone. At this point in time I am getting my left toe treated and already seeing great results from her treatment.
EXTREMELY HAPPY. Dr. Jessica has an extremely great 'hand' at treating.

| "I have been suffering from migraine since I was 12, thought I didn't know what was it then, in my adulthood, the migraine became worse - triggered just by bright sunlight. |
| |
| But the attacks continued a few times a month, as did the medication and nausea and vomiting during the attacks. The worst bout was when I vomited more than 15 times and had to stay home for three days in a darkened room, with curtains drawn and air-conditioning on. |
| |
| Last year, I went to a talk by chiropractor Kevin Lau. A week after my talk, I made an informed decision to straighten my spine. I'm a little hunched after all these years of studying and working at the PC. During the first session, which lasted two hours, I had exercises and adjustment of my spine on a three-part bend. I felt wonderful and revitalized. |
| |
| Mr Lau, an Australian, is gentle, unassuming and humble, always talking and joking and open to feedback from his patients. He took the trouble to explain to me what my problem was - a curved spine and a neck that protrudestoo far ahead, causing my migraine. |
| |
| He even went the extra mile to introduce health foods to me and lent me his CDs by motivational guru Anthony Robbins. |
| |
| Not only did my migraine vanish, but my cholesterol level went down too. I have medical records to prove it. After 10 months of treatment, I have a healthy posture. Now, I am able to walk under the hot sun without it triggering my migraine." |

| Thank you Dr. Kwan. I now have the mobility back in my shoulders as
you said I would, and can freely go about my daily routine without any restrictions. I no longer have to depend
on anti-inflammatory medication.

The treatment and the massage I received were very helpful. The strapping
he showed me how to use was also very effective.
I would be happy to recommend Dr. John and Orchard Clinic, as I found them very professional, courteous
and knowledgable. Most importantly they helped me recover from my injury.

| Backache had plagued me for more than 20 years. I thought it was due to bad posture of work-related. Acupuncture and massage only give me temporary relief. When I experienced tingling sensation and numbness in my left arm and fingers, I sought the help of an orthopedic surgeon. After a few sessions of tractions and exercises with the therapist, the surgeon examined and discharged me, saying it was due to degeneration. The news was very discouraging. Am I to accept this condition and wait for the very discouraging. Am I to accept this condition and wait for the inevitable surgery? A year later, the tingling and numbness of the left fingers returned. I refused to consult the surgeon and be told the same news or wait for surgery. |
| |
| I came across an advertisement by Contour Health. After the workshop, Dr. Kevin Lau examined and sent me for X-ray. I discovered that I had scoliosis and problems with my neck and hip. Without hesitation, I began my treatment with Dr. Kevin Lau, 3 times a week. After 6 months, I had post X-ray taken. The results were beyond my expectation, 10 degrees improvement in the neck, 8 degrees in the thorax and 12 degrees in the lumbar and taller by 1cm. |
| |
| I decided to continue with the "Wellness Programme" for a year to stabilize my back. Dr. Lau also guided me through detoxification and diet. Tests showed that my diabetes, kidneys and liver functions improved. Friends compliment and say I look a picture of health. Yes, I am more energetic now |

| I first learnt my spine has a sideway curve 8 years ago when I went for a full body massage. The masseuse traced the curvature with her finger . I dismissed it as an abnormality I was probably born with and thought no more of it as I had no pains nor aches anywhere, not even the usual backache ladies usually complain of when they have their periods and the number of times I've had a headache can be counted on one hand. However in the past few years, I suffered from tense shoulders and low energy . |
| |
| A few months ago, I began to wonder whether my spinal curvature is what 's called "Scoliosis" . Hence, when Dr Kevin, had a workshop on Scoliosis, I attended. The chiropractor confirmed I have scoliosis after a visual assessment. A spinal X-ray confirmed I had right thoracic "C" shaped scoliosis of 36 degrees from the neck to T6. |
| |
| I signed up for a correction package with Dr Kevin. Twice each week, I do a one-hour therapy session. I do exercises to stretch and strengthen muscles and the bones in the upper part of my body and the neck , including traction and inversion. Then I adjoun to the doctor's room where he adjusts my spinal and cervical vertebrae. The electrodes and machines, which I find most relaxing, comes last. |
| |
| Dr Kevin sends patients for an assessment x-ray when they have completed their sessions.. X-rays of the earliest patients have been very encouraging. All the patients have had their curvatures reduced ; the patient with the least improvement registerd a 10 degree correction. There was a 15 year old who improved from 45 degrees to 28 and a 70 year old from 16 to 4. As for mine curve it reduced by 15 degrees! |
| |
| I can actually feel my shoulders and neck getting looser! On Sunday, after lunch, I climbed up 200 stories to prepare for a trek in India/China come Oct but I wasn't tired as I normally would have been! |

Regards,
Jacqueline |

| I injured my back whilst doing housework some 20 years ago. Unfortunately I did not consult any specialist to take care of the injury. The pain comes and goes every now and then and at time the pain was very excruciating even to the extend to immobilized me. I consulted the physiotherapist only when the pain became unbearable. Since I did not take good care of my injury, my condition started to degenerate. It also affected my movement. |
| |
| In year 2003 I underwent a major operation on my total hip replacement. Before the operation, I had suffered great pain in my movement. I had to resort to wheelchair to move around. I would hardly walk. It affected my sleep. After the operation, the situation improved. However my back problem still persisted. I wanted to seek medical help on my spine before it was too late. |
| |
| In October 2005 I chance upon a workshop on spinal problems organized by Dr Kevin Lau. I was very much impressed by Dr. Lau's immense knowledge on the spinal problems and I knew that I have found someone who could help me on my spinal problems. Without much hesitation I immediately made an appointment to see Dr. Lau at the clinic. |
| |
| Dr. Lau is a kind-hearted man who understands the problems and pains suffered by his patients. He put his heart and soul in treating his patients. He shows concern and monitors the progress of his patients constantly. After receiving treatments from Dr. Lau I realized that my back problem and my health has improved. |
| |
| My overall conditions have improved. At long last, I have found someone who can help me in alleviating my back problem. |

| As you know, after many months of hesitation about doing changing my diet I have recently decided to take the plunge. To my surprise, I found after four days of the diet by Dr Kevin my blood pressure went below the usual 80/120 and I lost four kilos at the same time. Moreover, there was also a noticeable absence of some aching pain over my left hip, which had been around for at least six months. |
| |
| I am currently not taking my hypertension pills but carefully monitoring my pressure and weight. By modifying my diet, I seem to have successfully maintained my new pressure and weight. As regards the aching pains in two parts of my body they seem to have mostly gone, a sign I gather of reduced inflammation as a result of Dr Lau's advice. |
| |
| My severe arthritis and pain in my lower back has improved by 12 degrees! I was surprised by what I saw on the post xrays. I would like to thank you for your encouragements and preachings, for without them I do not think I would have tried your program. |

| When my parents discovered that I was "limping" when I was nearly thirteen, they became worried that my left leg is shorter than the right. After consulting a family friend who was a senior nurse, I was brought to a specialist in a hospital to be examined. I had never thought how all those fussing about would mean anything. Even when the doctor explained to my parents the condition of my scoliosis, the seriousness of my condition did not kicked in... until we visited a girl in the hospital who had a spine correction surgery a few months before. We were told by her mother that she would be bedridden for as long as half a year, and it was at that point I started to realise that something had gone quite wrong with me. I had a 38 degree C shape curve in the lumbar area. According to the doctor, if the condition was above 40 degrees, I would have been recommended for surgery, and that would not just mean I needed to spend about half a year in bed, but also enormous financial and physical stress on my parents at that time. Gladly, I had a plastic brace casted, which I lived with for the next 5 years.5
|
| |
| In those awkward teenage years, wearing a hard plastic body brace all day long contributed to my lack of confidence. I had to wear extra large school uniform to accomodate the brace. I could not do half the execises in physical education (PE) classes, and even a short jog would make the inside of the brace soaking wet and I get bruises from the edges of the brace. Some of the PE teachers thought I was just lazy and I could not explain myself. I get rashes every now and then and I could not wear a bra without one side of the strap falling, nor could I carry any of those pretty sling bags on one shoulder. I had all my text books cut into smaller sections so that I do not overload the school bag, but even so, I had two school bags to carry. It took 3 to 5 hours each day to-and-fro school, and till today I could still remember the feeling of walking in the hot afternoon sun with my body soaking wet inside the hard brace. Looking back to those years, it was really a torture for a girl at that age. At seventeen, I have out-grown the brace too much, and thankfully took it off. We decided not to go back for another brace and never went back to the specialist again. |
| |
| As years went by, I learnt to live with the crooked spine -- to pick clothes that disguise the unsymmetrical body, adjust my shoes so that my limping is not obvious, always use bags with a good back support, etc. I had given up hope to treat the scoliosis altogether. I had minor back aches and neck and shoulder stiffness more often as I grew older, and I knew my scoliosis has worsen, but I did not believe I could do anything about it. |
| |
| In April 2006, I had a serious backache and was bedridden for almost a week. The continuous pain broke me down and I thought if I was going to live with that much pain more and more frequently for the rest of my life, I should go ahead and try the things I have always wanted to try in the "limited time" left. I was deciding to relocate to Australia when my sister brought me a newspaper cut-out about Dr.Kevin Lau's seminar, two months after the serious backache. Dr. Lau's explanation about scoliosis and the cases he mentioned started to give me hope. After much research on the internet and some serious consideration, I decided to postpone my relocation plan for half a year to complete one course of the treatment by Dr. Lau. |
| |
| The pre-treatment x-ray showed that my curve had indeed worsen over the years, to 55 degrees, and my neck needed correction as well. For the next half a year, despite stressful times at work, I persisted with 2 to 3 treatments per week with Dr. Lau. The treatment was painful in the initial two months as my body adjusted to the pulling and stretching. But as I went along with the whole range of exercises, my body felt more flexible and I was more energetic. I started to look forward to and enjoyed the treatment sessions. With Dr. Lau's preaching on eating healthy and sleeping enough also made me thought more carefully about what I ate and how I rested. |
| |
| At the end of the six months' treatments, my post-treatment x-ray revealed a 15 degrees improvement in my scoliosis. I stayed on for another 3 months of treatments before making my move to Australia. |
| |
| To me, the whole experience of the treatments meant much more than the 15 degrees of correction in my spine. I felt that in many ways I was blessed, and I learnt to have faith that there is a solution somewhere for any problem. Taking that on a very general estimate the scoliosis in an adult worsen by one degree per year, the corrections have perhaps saved me fifteen years... even if it is less, I am sincerely thankful for it. |

| My neurosurgeon, who condemned me to a wheelchair after failed low back surgery, told me it would extremely dangerous to see a chiropractor. Well, I figured if I was going to be in a wheelchair permanently in a few months, how could a chiro make it any worse. I had a huge wad of scar tissue from the surgery putting pressure on my spinal cord. I was constantly falling and the sciatica was unbearable. Within a few months of starting chiropractic treatment, I realized I was not falling down anymore. I almost never have sciatic pain. I walk upright, not bent over and am even able to exercise now I don't use a cane, the wheelchair is stuck in a closet and I rarely use my scooter anymore. He also works on my neck where I have had a fusion and he hasn't hurt me yet. I know some of the changes are diet related, which Dr. Kevin put me on, but I truly believe the manipulations have either reduced the amount of scar tissue or redistributed it to where it's not pressing directly on my spinal cord. I am a total believer in chiropractic care now and let me tell you, I went in desperation and extremely scared and skeptical. |

| Before I met Dr Kevin Lau, I had severe lower back ache, high cholesterol and massive digestive problems. I consulted many doctors, specialist and therapist of all types, only to have the pain reoccur when I stopped the treatment. Massages were a constant fixture in my weekly schedule for as long as I can remember! It was frustrating and costly. I was beginning to lose hope when I suddenly had severe attack of low back pain, this happened around the time my mother passed away. |
| |
| Luckily that was when I met Dr Kevin. With his caring heart and listening ear he was an inspiration and helped get me back on the track to health. His holistic approach was what I needed, healthy changes in my lifestyle, eating habit and mental attitude empowered me and allowed me to ultimately change my health for the better. FINALLY I was independently healthy and pain free, the knowledge he offered me allowed me to sustain the health and wellbeing that I never thought I could have. Massage these days is a treat because Im not in pain but merely want to relax. As a bonus, my appearance improved and I started to feel and look younger. My cholesterol dropped which was amazing as I ate a diet high in fats and cholesterol such as eggs which Dr Kevin planned for me. Ive got the hospital tests to prove it. Friends around me became interested in what I was eating and became more health conciscious too! |
| |
| I owe all this to the guidence from Dr Kevin. I am fortunate to be able to reap the benefits of his keen interest in optimal health and nutrition and his incessant search for what is the best out there. Last but not least, his uncompromising standard of excellence is something people of all ages can learn from. |
| |
| Thanks Dr Kevin Lau! |
