Welcome to my website! I'm Michael Lau, a native of Golden, British Columbia. My journey into chiropractic care began after my initial treatment in Calgary, Alberta. As a student, I grappled with chronic low back and neck pain, assuming it was a common experience during the stressful exam periods. In my final year at UofC, when faced with severe low back pain, I sought help and discovered the transformative effects of chiropractic care. From that first treatment, I became an immediate believer. Recognizing the potential to provide others with the same quality care, I found my calling in the fulfilling profession of chiropractic.

After achieving my Bachelor of Kinesiology with Distinction at the University of Calgary, I chose to further my education in chiropractic at Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto, Ontario. During my clinical internship, I had the privilege of being nominated as one of 13 chiropractors to volunteer abroad in the Dominican Republic. While there, I provided essential healthcare and chiropractic services to an underserved population. This transformative experience not only refined my non-verbal communication skills but also deepened my expertise in chiropractic techniques. It was during this time that I discovered my passion for neurological conditions and neuropathies, particularly those related to the spine.

Beyond my professional responsibilities, I maintain an active lifestyle through marathon running and road cycling, and I am committed to international volunteer work. I have contributed to healthcare and community development initiatives in Honduras, Uganda, the Dominican Republic, and Asia, experiences that have strengthened my cross-cultural awareness, adaptability, and collaborative skills.

I am eager to be a part of your journey towards a pain-free and optimized lifestyle - You deserve to move the way you want.

Yours in health,

Dr. Michael Lau
