He has lived in the Philippines for the last 5 years and worked in clinics here in Cebu in Ayala Mall and Banilad before finally deciding to start his own in Mango Square.
Doc Stephen has lots of knowledge in the treatment of the spine and how it affects the nervous system and the rest of the body. He also has expertise in a wide range of other neuro-muscular and joint problems.
He has particular interest in chronic pain management and also the condition of scoliosis.
He states his goal in the administering of treatment is as well as relieving pain is to restore good function, correct alignment, improve posture and improve the quality of life of his patients.
Doc Stephen also has qualifications in acupuncture which was his original modality before he became a chiropractor and uses this to also treat a wide range of disorders of the body framework.
We are so grateful that after treating tens of thousands of patients in Australia, he has finally chosen to live here in Cebu Philippines and bring with him his wealth of experience and knowledge to help relieve pain and suffering here in our local community.

Having been to another clinic before, I can confidently say that Lifespring is superior in every way.

The stuff is also very nice and always friendly, what makes you feel very comfortable.
After my first session, theres an instant relief on my back pain, and I was amazed that my posture has became better. Then went for my second session, every snap on my back is a feeling of relief, I even felt a little taller. Dr. Thwaites is very kin on asking questions about my back pain, and how I am feeling afterwards. Cant really wait for my 3rd session! Also they are so accommodating, his assistants are very kind & approachable. So don’t hesitate to book an appointment with them!
Cebu Lifespring Chiropractic Clinic, is one of the best here in Cebu.
No pain at all slightly sore but it was 8 1/2 on a one to 10 pain scale when I walked out May be a 1 on 1 to 10 scale
Finally found a chiropractor .
Feel so much better now
After only one session I feel younger
As someone with chronic pain with no option for guaranteed pain relief from surgery, getting my treatments done once in a while has been incredibly helpful.
Staff and Doc was so nice and are always accommodating.
Its always a pleasant experience when I come.
Location is quite accessible and there's parking most of the time.
From the moment I walked in, the staff was welcoming and professional. They made the entire process seamless, from scheduling my appointment to the moment I left the clinic. The atmosphere is calming, and you can tell they genuinely care about their patients' well-being.
Dr. Stephen J. Thwaites is an absolute expert in his field. He took the time to thoroughly assess my condition. What impressed me the most was his dedication to a holistic approach to wellness, not just a quick fix. I felt like he truly wanted to address the root cause of my issues.
The sessions themselves were not only effective but also surprisingly comfortable. Dr. Thwaites has skillful techniques that immediately eased my pain and improved my mobility. After just a few sessions, I noticed a significant reduction in my discomfort.
I can't thank him and his team enough for the positive impact they've had on my overall well-being. If you're considering chiropractic care, I highly recommend Dr. Stephen J. Thwaites at CEBU LIFESPRING CHIROPRACTIC AND SCOLIOSIS CLINIC. Their professionalism, expertise, and genuine concern for their patients set them apart. I'm now on the road to feeling better than ever, and it's all thanks to their exceptional care.
Thank you, Dr. Thwaites, and the entire team at CEBU LIFESPRING CHIROPRACTIC AND SCOLIOSIS CLINIC for making such a positive difference in my life!
In my life I have had to use chiropractic care quite a lot because I suffer a lot from back pain and neck pain.
Just funny: I was looking for the recently opened Indian restaurant Winnia (also highly recommended if you like Indian food) and saw an advertising sign for a chiropractor along the road.
I was curious and called them for an appointment and I was able to come in the next day.
What immediately caught my attention was that Dr. Steven listens carefully to your problem, but more importantly, the calmness that this man has. You feel comfortable, which makes you relaxed, which benefits the treatment.
And the result was also great, the back and neck were treated excellently and the pain was much less the next day.
Despite living in Negros, I will come back here in the future. Dr. Steven will be my chiropractor.
After the first session, I feel less discomfort to raise it up. After every session (did 3 sessions so far), my body feels very relaxed and more in tune. My emotional state has also benefited, feeling more at ease.
Thank you to Dr. Stephen and his team for their gentleness and professionalism!
I used to have my left shoulder a bit frozen with difficulty to reach my back. After 2 sessions, it improved well that I can reach again the bra line. The same left shoulder also used to have difficulty to reach things over my head. After 3 sessions, the pain has reduced significantly.
What a wonderful healing recovery! I love also the combination of acupuncture with the chiropract session. Thank you to Dr. Stephen and his team for a job well done. Keep it up!
I injured my right shoulder while playing volleyball, and Dr. Thwaites assisted me in recuperating and returning to play. Dr. Thwaites made certain that I could speak openly to him about the pain that I'd been experiencing for nearly two weeks. Thanks to this doctor for being so approachable, polite, and nice!!
Additionally, there will be no dead air in your conversation because everyone there is so kind and approachable. They are extremely welcoming and accommodating, which is what I appreciated about the premises. They took great care to ensure that I was at ease at the clinic.
I will definitely recommend this clinic! They handled every matter with professionalism. 😊
My husband suggested this clinic that also helped his body pain issues. Grateful to have treatment sessions with Dr. Thwaites which really helped ease my Back pains that bothered me so much for over 2 weeks.
Overall, I had an excellent experience with Lifespring Chiropractic and Scoliosis Clinic and would definitely visit again.
