Dr Andrew Ching, graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree (Honors) in Exercise Physiology from the University of California at Davis. Thereafter, he worked as a manager for a Health & Fitness Gymnasium in downtown San Francisco where he had experience working with athletes and the general public in restructuring their fitness regime.
After several years, Dr Andrew decided to advance himself into the area of Chiropractic after he experienced first-hand, the benefits of chiropractic care, following an unfortunate motor-car accident which left him with severe whiplash. He subsequently graduated with Honours Magna Cum Laude from Life Chiropractic College West (LCCW, USA). Dr Andrew has extensive experience of over ten years, dispensing chiropractic care to people from infants, working executives, active sportsmen and the elderly. He has been on chiropractic mission trips to Nicaragua and El Salvador, in Central America, where he helped to treat hundreds of families and children. Always open to new philosophies, Dr Andrew does not favour restricting himself to just one school of thought or technique. As every patient case and physical body is different, the techniques Dr Andrew regularly employs are a mixture of CBP (Chiropractic Biophysics), Pettibon, Diverisified, Drop, Flexion-Distraction and Activator. From this myriad, he is able to decide what and which will be the most appropriate and suitable for a patient and dispense his personalised care in this manner.
Dr Andrew is a member of the International Chiropractors Association (ICA), World Chiropractic Alliance Singapore (WCA) and International Chiropractic Paediatric Association (ICPA), organizations that pride themselves in maintaining the highest standards of chiropractic care, professionalism and code of ethics. Always seeking to be a better doctor and to further improve himself, in 2010, Dr Andrew became the first and only certified CATS cranial practitioner in Asia, a technique which focusses on the cranial (skull) in addition to spinal health. This is a highly effective and beneficial treatment for people with chronic migraines, headaches, insomnia; as well as babies with difficult, prolonged or assisted births (eg. forceps and vacuum babies). Dr Andrew also practises Quantum Neurology, a fairly new technique, to further enhance and complement his existing skills set in order to help him achieve better results with patients who require more than just the standard manipulation and alignment of the spine.
In Singapore, Dr Andrew is also a popular corporate lecturer on Health & Nutrition, Workplace Ergonomics & Injury Prevention, Sports Injuries and Chiropractic Wellness Programme. He has conducted many talks in government agencies such as Inland Revenue Authority (IRAS), Singapore General Hospital, Civil Service Club and multi-national companies such as Standard Chartered Bank, UBS AG, Prudential, Pan Resources Group, OSIM International, Philips Electronics and Panasonic, just to name a few.
Well liked by many of his patients, consisting of working executives, families, children and even babies, Dr Andrew has made Singapore his home base the last eight years and is now a Singaporean PR.
Arc of Life Chiropractic Centre Pte Ltd marks a new era for Dr Andrew. After working previously in two other chiropractic clinics in Singapore, Dr Andrew finally established his very own private practice in 2009 in Shaw Centre in Orchard Road.
In January 2012, upon the requests of many patients for more accessibility outside of the Orchard district, Dr Andrew expanded his practice to a second satellite branch at the newly opened shopping mall, ARC (Alexandra Retail Centre) @ PSA Buidling along Alexandra Road. Shuttling between both clinics in Shaw Centre and ARC, Dr Andrew endeavours to continue providing the highest quality of care through corrective chiropractic, patient education and service, and where helping our patients attain their optimal health potential is our ultimate reward.
