OUR DOCTOR

Dr. Anthony S. C. Lai was born in Ontario, Canada and educated in the United Kingdom since the age of nine. After receiving a Bachelors in Biomedical Sciences from Durham University, United Kingdom, he continued his education in the United States where he received his Doctorate of Chiropractic.

Upon completion of training, Dr. Lai joined one of California’s most prestigious Gonstead clinics until earning the title of senior managing consultant. He was mentored by Gonstead fellow, Dr. J. David Currie and trained under Dr. Herb Wood throughout his time in the United States. Dr. Lai has accumulated over 500 hours in Gonstead Methodology training specializing in neuro-structural correction and full spine X-ray diagnostics. He also became a Gonstead Clinic Studies Society (GCSS) diplomate to further contribute his expertise in chiropractic research.

In 2019, Dr. Lai transitioned back to Hong Kong where his family resides, which led to Respine Hong Kong. His vision is to serve the Hong Kong community with the experience and knowledge accumulated while in the United States. Respine Hong Kong is inspired by his father; who suffered from chronic low back pain when caring for Dr. Lai during his childhood.

Throughout the years Dr. Lai has participated in multiple charitable organizations such as Lions’ Club, Médecins Sans Frontières and Sowers Action. Dr. Lai was awarded an honorary consultant during his mission trip to India, providing neuro-structural chiropractic care for their local community. He has also dedicated time slots in his busy schedule to host outreaches and health talks every month in promoting spinal health and well-being. (Please refer to events). In addition, Dr. Lai is also an honorary consultant for the Children’s Chiropractic Foundation in Hong Kong; a non-profit organization that provides services for low-income families.

In his spare time, Dr. Lai loves to travel and explore different cities. He believes that “food is a gateway to culture” to which nothing beats great food with better company!
