Who he works with
Over his career, Dr. Lau has worked with professional and collegiate athletes, weekend warriors, injured workers, active families, and people of all ages looking for lasting relief and a better quality of life.
His training as a sports physician and his work as a Qualified Medical Evaluator give him particular depth in sports injuries and work-related injuries.
How he approaches care
Dr. Lau starts by looking for the cause of a patient's pain rather than only treating the symptoms. His goal is to restore movement and function so patients can get back to what they enjoy, whether that is competing in sports, doing their job well or getting through everyday life more comfortably.
He works closely with each patient on a plan built around their needs, lifestyle and health goals, and he is known for a compassionate, individual approach.
Therapies he uses
Alongside chiropractic adjustments and Active Release Techniques, Dr. Lau uses non-surgical therapies available at the Lake Forest office, including spinal decompression and extracorporeal shockwave therapy. Shockwave therapy is used for injured muscles, tendons, ligaments and other soft tissues.
He combines these with customized rehabilitation programs so care addresses both the source of the pain and longer-term recovery. Whether a therapy is right for you is decided after an examination.
