“I had neck and shoulder pain since last year July 2005. That kind of pain and sour ache made me unable to sleep the whole night. Sometimes, it also made me feel headache on the right side of my head at the back. At first, I thought it was normal shoulder pain and went for uruk (traditional massage), but it didn’t help.

As recommended by my family doctor, I went to visit an orthopedic surgeon and had a MRI of my cervical spine. The report showed that there was a right lateral herniation of the C5/C6 cervical disc with narrowing of the spinal canal and neural foramen on the right C6 nerve root. As advised by the orthopedic surgeon, I need more exercise (like swimming) and took painkillers to reduce the pain. But the condition didn’t improve until I found chiropractic care on a brochure.

I started chiropractic treatment with Dr Andrew during early April 2006 and until now, my pain and sour ache is getting lesser and lesser and my condition is getting better and better. Now, I can sleep well and eat well.

Lastly, I want to take this opportunity to thank Dr Andrew Ching for his professional advice and treatments and also want to thank his assistant for her friendly service and kind assistance during my many treatments.”

“I went to an orthopedic surgeon after a TCM who did acupuncture but I did not receive any pain relief. The orthopedic surgeon suggested operating on my back (due to slipped disc). Since I was afraid of possible side effects, I rejected the idea. Thanks to my husband, he brought me to a Chiropractor and here I am.

I limped to the clinic sometime in March 2006 and was told to have 3 times per week of treatment. It was very easy because each treatment is less than 5 minutes and not very painful. Being determined to recover, I swam 4 times a week and had 3 sessions of chiropractic treatment at the start. Now I require only once a week. Thank you very much to Dr Andrew and staff. I’m very grateful.

I also want everyone to know that swimming makes me healthy and Chiropractic corrected my posture, making it healthy and steady. Thank you very much.”

“I used to have bad headaches, numbness in my right arm and terrible pain on my shoulders and neck area. These days my headache is all gone and the pain around my shoulders has lessened. I feel so much better now than before.

There was one day when I could not even lift my left arm across my right shoulders. It was terrible; I had a golf tournament in 2 hours time. I rushed down to see Dr Andrew, he did wonders and not only did I play well, but I came in 6th place in my division (out of 50 others) – Amazing!

I would like to thank Dr Andrew for doing such a good job. Not only is he pleasant, but he does a thorough check all the time. Great job!!!”

“My close friends have often told me that I hunched. In fact, even if they don’t tell me, I know it but there’s nothing much I can do.  As much as I tried to stand up straight, my posture will always go back to the slouch position.  My parents even bought back support for me when I was young to wear everyday.  But I know it couldn’t do much because I saw no improvement.

Just when I thought I’ve given up and resigned to my fate (my dad’s family members also hunch, so naturally I thought hunch back must be some kind of hereditary issue!), I found chiropractic by chance.  I started the treatment last November, and my posture improved tremendously with the help of Dr Andrew’s adjustments.  I made sure I did my exercises and traction too.  Because a patient must also be proactive in their own well-being, and coupled with that belief that you can improve, only then can you truly reap the benefits of both you and the doctor’s efforts. 

Through chiropractic, I’ve also learnt that birth delivery through forceps can seriously damage the spine, which is what happened in my case.  By gradually gaining the right posture back, along the way I have also gained valuable knowledge.  In time to come, I sincerely believe that my posture and quality of life will improve further. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Dr Andrew and his team for their care. Greatly appreciated!” 

“I had a very bad fall on 26.12.06 whilst mopping the floor, hurting my lower spine. Lying down and getting up from bed must be aided by someone. Lifting two litres of water was also a problem. A visit to the hospital did not help at all. X-ray was taken showing the lower spine injury. A jab and painkillers were given and I was advised to return in 3 weeks time for check-up.

I have to thank my daughter, Claudia, who brought me to see Dr Andrew. His skillful adjustments improved my condition in less than a month. My daily routine was back to normal. My spine is stronger now; shoulders are balanced, though my head is still slightly tilting forward. My health improved! The most wonderful part of chiropractic is: “It’s Drug Free!” I take this opportunity to thank Dr Andrew and wish everyone “Strong & Healthy!”

“I feel so good now after Dr Andrew Ching treated my spine which was out of alignment. Before that, my right collar bone was swollen and painful and I could not sleep on my right side. For the longest time, my neck was very stiff and my shoulders were tight, despite having weekly body massages. I was lethargic, had digestion problems and always felt bloated. Because of Dr Andrew’s skill and diligent care, each time I had a treatment, I felt better and better. Now, after a few months, I am light and happy. My aches and pain are gone and I have a tremendous sense of well-being.

I know the benefits of having chiropractic treatment and would always recommend Dr Andrew with his skill and high standard of professional care, Dr Andrew Ching is a wonderful Doctor of Chiropractic. I am immensely grateful to him.”

"Some of my sickness are as long as 30 years old. No medication can cure them. You have successfully adjusted me, helping my body to heal effectively over just two months of time. I have fully recovered now. The result is amazing. It would not be possible without your treatment. I really appreciate your care very much and the time you took to treat me and my family. You are professional, methodical, efficient and most productive in your treatment. Please take good care of yourself and get more rest.”

“Dr Andrew has been a great help for me. Under his care, my neck pain disappeared and I feel very much better. My recovery from exercises has tremendously improved. He always has encouraging words for his patients. I benefited a lot from him. Kudos Dr Andrew!”

“I started chiropractic care with Dr Andrew about 2 years ago. The care I received from Dr Andrew was great and has generally improved my well-being. I feel less fatigued, headaches less frequent and my mobility has improved. Thanks Dr Andrew!”

“My 2 sisters and I have benefited greatly with treatments by Dr Andrew Ching in the past few months. My elder sister, after 2 months’ treatment, now sleeps much better and more soundly than before. Her appetite has also improved. My second sister, after just 4 weeks’ of treatment, can now get out of bed easily and her neck condition has also improved. Her x-ray showed significant improvement in her neck curvature. Another obvious benefit is that she can now squat for longer periods of time; her legs are stronger as she can now climb the stairs easily too. Her frequent headaches have also greatly reduced. As for myself, besides improvement in my neck like my sis, I can feel my stamina has also greatly improved. My left hand can now stretch up to the same level as my right hand. Previously, I have trouble doing this as my left hand was stiff and cannot stretch up high.”

“Yes, Dr Andrew has been treating me since October 2008. I have carpal tunnel syndrome and have been experiencing numbness to the extent it affected my sleep. Since starting treatment twice weekly, my condition improved tremendously. I hardly experience any numbness now. And even if I do, the extent of the numbness is very much less than before.”

“The experience has been wonderful and extremely beneficial for my wellbeing… the reason why I make it a point to come regularly. Dr Andrew has been most wonderful, He is warm and friendly and puts his patients at ease. Highly knowledgeable and patient. It has been a great chiropractic experience!”

“I received treatment over 12 months during which time I was pregnant with my first son. My treatment with Dr Andrew Ching was initiated due to neck and back pain I had been experiencing for many years. It was a great relief to not only have a great diagnosis but also to receive customized care for my vertebral subluxation. I believe that the treatment I underwent improved my overall wellbeing and contributed to the safe and unproblematic delivery of my son. I would definitely recommend chiropractic treatment with Dr Andrew Ching as I have found his services to be effective and very professional.”

“I have been experiencing lower back pain ever since I fell on my bum while playing netball in school in 2006. It hurt really badly for a couple of weeks but the pain eventually went away. The pain somehow returned early this year in 2009. It got so unbearable that I could not sit up straight. I went for an x-ray at Tan Tock Seng Hospital and was told that I have scoliosis and spondylolisthesis. The doctor told me that there was nothing I could do to correct my condition except to stop it from getting worse. I was given a few exercises to do daily too.

My parents were upset that the doctor couldn’t do anything more for me. After two weeks, my parents decided to bring me to Dr Andrew. To be honest, I was skeptical about chiropractic at first. But after a month and a half of adjustments, I discovered that the pain is much less now and moreover, my appetite has improved and my focus and concentration has improved alot. In addition, my menstrual cramps have lessened and I sleep a lot better at night.

Credits to Dr Andrew =) He has been really patient in explaining my condition to me and how the exercises he gave me can help me improve my overall body function and nervous system.”

“I have suffered back problems for over 30 years resulting from impact injuries and heavy lifting (Lower back pain, pains in the legs and bad posture). On holiday in Singapore from Scotland and suffering some pain, I visited Arc of Life Chiropractic Centre.
 
I was very impressed with Dr Andrew Ching’s thorough examination (including X-ray analysis). He went to great lengths to put into layman’s terms the damage done to my back and to fully explain the planned treatment. They were very flexible in accommodating me within my holiday schedule, timing my treatments between our other commitments. Treatment was instructive and effective.

Now that I am back home in Scotland, I am regularly doing the exercises Dr Andrew prescribed with greatly-reduced levels of pain and noticeably increased mobility. I will be returning to Singapore at the end of this year and intend to book at least one treatment with Arc of Life. It gives me great pleasure to provide this testimonial.”

“I am 37 years old with 3 lovely kids. We are indeed glad to be patients of Dr Andrew Ching since 2007. My health today is a far cry from what it was 3 years ago and I would like to thank Dr Andrew and his team for all the care and education throughout our care program with the clinic. My problem started since I was 7 years old when I was diagnosed with scoliosis. Doctors’ usual advice was “To observe and leave it”. I could not sit up straight for long, had breathing problems, and could not do sit-ups or crunches because my spine hurts. After 3 childbirths, I started to experience loud cracking from my hip joints that hurts even when I walk. Then in May 2007, everything turned for the worse, there was piercing acute lower back pain and acute gastritis that I could not even lie down.

That was when I consulted Dr Andrew. The rest was history. He introduced to me not only the wonderful benefits of chiropractic adjustments but also educated us on natural health habits for optimum health. Now chiropractic care is not a treatment to me anymore but a way of life. Dr Andrew, thank you once again.”

"I injured my back 1-2 years ago during a soccer game. At first, I thought it was just a normal backache so I just ignored it. The pain did not go away but got worst and eventually it even affected my sleep at night. After Dr Andrew Ching treated me, I felt different. I feel my back is stronger and more surprisingly, even my morning sinuses is gone too. Thank you Dr Andrew Ching."

 "I used to feel breathless when I exercised, and not able to look up or tilt my head back due to my neck's immobility. I had to bear excruciating pain that strikes once every 2-3 weeks, it was like torture. When the pain struck, I was unable to function and could do nothing but to lie in bed with medication that brought about side effects. The problem persisted for up to a year.

I was then introduced to Dr Andrew Ching and commenced treatment with him in mid July 2009. In a short span of time, my condition improved by leaps and bounds. I am now able to do simple exercises without facing breathing difficulties and am able to look up again! In addition, I need not consume any medication and the pain has subsided. My life is so much more relaxing and joyful now! Thank you so much Dr Andrew!"

"I have been suffering from low back pain and stiff neck for many years. However last year in 2009, the excruciating pain had become a problem and it affected my work. Although I have been going through physiotherapy, the pain was still unbearable. Therefore a friend of mine recommended me to Arc of Life Chiropractic Centre and I sought advice from Dr Andrew Ching. After going through chiropractic adjustments over a period of time, the pain subsequently subsided and now I can even do household chores. During my time at Arc of Life, Dr Andrew and the clinic staff have been very professional and helpful. I really appreciate the service at Arc of Life and I will definitely recommend other people with similiar problems to Arc of Life."

"I have scoliosis and my backbone is curved in an inverted "S" shape with a curvature of about 20 degrees. After undergoing chiropractic adjustments at Arc of Life Chiropractic, I felt much better and more relaxed. There is lesser stress on my right shoulder and I also noticed that I fall sick less often as compared to before. This certainly shows me the benefits of chiropractic care. Not only do I feel better now, but I also have better sense of balance. My right shoulder is more relaxed and flexible and my aches have lessened. Now after a few months of treatment, my spine has reduced from 20 degrees curvature to 13 degrees. I am elated by the results and am more determined to work harder with the exercises that was prescribed to me and try to get the curve reduced even further. I am really glad to be introduced to this clinic by my sister and I would like to thank Dr Andrew Ching for his care. Chiropractic care definitely has helped me tremendously and I will not hesitate to recommend this form of care to others."

"8 years ago, I had a fall on my hip (left side), and the pain and ache ever since just wouldn't go away, even though I had gone to TCM for adjustments for more than 10 times from 2002-2009. Then in mid 2009, my boss introduced Dr Andrew to me and I told him about my condition that I can't even kneel or bend my left knee and that I am suffering from great pain. It was really torturing and I am just 29 years old. I really don't want to continue tolerating such pain anymore. After taking my 1st x-ray, Dr Andrew highlighted to me that based on the x-ray, it shows that my lumbar spine is shifted to the right and it is putting stress onto my spinal nerves which possibly led to the pain in my knee.

After my first adjustment, it is like a miracle, the pain on my knee is totally gone, not even an ache left. I feel so great and optimistic about my freedom from pain. After going for regular chiropractic adjustments, I can now feel my body's improvement. It is worth it going through all those chiropractic adjustments."

"I have back problems with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) too. For many years, I have been slouching due to poor posture. Many times the pain will make me walk abnormally.

After about 2 months of chiropractic adjustments, I now have lesser pain and am able to sleep much better. The body form has corrected significantly. I have better posture - more upright and more mobility.

I really would like to thank Dr Andrew Ching for all his chiropractic adjustments. I feel happier and more energetic."

"First and foremost, I'd like to thank Dr Andrew for assuring me and making me feel hopeful that I am still able to do sports despite the break in my L5. I just can't imagine myself not doing sports or exercising! I'll end up being the most depressed person in the world! Regular chiropractic adjustments to my spine by Dr Andrew and an active approach to strengthening my core has made my body stronger and fitter to do sports. Furthermore, Dr Andrew has given me many advice on what kind of exercises to do and what not to do. This allows me to understand my body and injury more and hence I'm now able to work out without aggravating my injury. Thank you Dr Andrew for your help. If I haven't met you, I'll still be experiencing back pain..."

"I have had problems with my right hip over the last two or more years, together with cervical (neck) aches which eased with the occassional neck massages. When I commenced treatment with Dr Andrew last August 2009, I was told that my right leg is shorter than my left, and was given an insole support to use. This has somehow helped me in my balance. I have to say the regular chiropractic adjustments have helped me tremendously. Now the pain is no longer an issue, and also the cervical (neck) aches seem to have ceased, reappearing only occassionally.

I never used to think much about chiropractic treatment before, but now I believe that chiropractic treatment has a big role to play in the healthcare field! I would like to thank Dr Andrew very much for the excellent work you have done on me. I will always remember you and your family in my prayers."

I needed help. Help came from Arc of Life Chiropractic.

Without the professional skills and dedication of Dr Andrew Ching, I might have given up because of the pain in my back, knees and foot. Healing is a two-way responsibility. I took Dr Andrew's exercise advice seriously and came for chiropractic sessions regularly. I could feel the positive changes in my body and that gave me confidence, mentally and physically.

Thank you Dr Andrew and the staff at Arc of Life. My next adventure is climbing the Via Ferrata in the Dolomite, Italy and I know who I can count on to turn on the power of the master system in my body."
