Derek Lo Tiap Kwong
Doctor of Chiropractic
Derek’s Experience…
Derek graduated from AECC University College, previously known as the Anglo-European College of Chiropractic, with a Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Human Sciences and a Masters in Chiropractic (MSc).
He is a co-author of a published research paper looking into the effects of chiropractic care on infants which is contributing to further scientific research in paediatric Chiropractic. While writing his research paper, Derek worked extensively with midwives at the Interdisciplinary Breastfeeding Clinic at the AECC UC to help infants and mothers improve breastfeeding. This gave Derek the insight into and an understanding of the challenges mothers face during pregnancy and after birth and how chiropractic care can best help.
Paediatrics and pregnancy are not the only areas of interest for Derek as he also enjoys working in sports care and rehabilitation. Derek believes passionately that health is wealth and movement is the key to unlocking the door to better health as we age. Derek was awarded the job of Rehab Supervisor while working at the AECC Clinic in conjunction with his training to become a Chiropractor. Derek has worked with high level athletes to improve performance and has assisted older adults with rehabilitation to a better, more mobile and independent lifestyle.
Derek’s Patients…
Derek works with patients of all ages and through his clinical practice has observed that as we grow during our teenage years through to when our bodies fully mature, around the mid-’20s, how we use and what we use our body for, often dictates how it will impact our lives later on. Some segments of the population are becoming more and more sedentary while others can have very physical but very strenuous lifestyles.
Derek sees many conditions that are very common amongst large portions of the population such as text neck, headaches, shoulder pain, low back pain & sciatica. He aims to not only treat but also educate people about their lifestyle choices so that the impact of chiropractic care can empower patients to make positive changes and feel the longer-term benefits.
Derek enjoys seeing and treating people from all walks of life! Whether young or old, in pain or feeling stiff or simply wanting to improve your quality of life, Derek has your back!
Derek looks forward to seeing you and helping you move better, feel better and be better!
