Hi, I’m Ka Kin—some people know me as Ricky—the chiropractor behind Core Chiro, based in Ham, Richmond, UK.

My name “Ka Kin” in Chinese carries the meaning of a healthy family, a philosophy that sits at the heart of my work. I provide personalised, family-focused chiropractic care in Richmond, supporting patients of all ages—from children to busy professionals and older adults—helping them move better, feel stronger, and live healthier lives.

I am a registered chiropractor in both the UK and Hong Kong, and I hold a Master of Chiropractic with first-class honours from AECC in Bournemouth (now Health Sciences University).

My journey into chiropractic was not conventional.

Originally from Hong Kong, I began my career in hospitality, completing a master’s degree and spending nearly a decade in the industry. During that time, I came to understand that true hospitality is about caring for others at a deeper level. While I was able to build a stable career, I felt a strong calling to do more—to make a meaningful, lasting difference in people’s lives.

That turning point came when I discovered chiropractic.

I was deeply moved by its ability to create natural, life-changing improvements in health and wellbeing. The philosophy, science, and hands-on approach resonated with me immediately. After connecting with chiropractors who demonstrated genuine care and integrity, I knew this was the path I was meant to follow.

At 32, newly married and about to start a family, I made the decision to completely change direction and retrain as a chiropractor. I wrote my application to AECC during my honeymoon, driven by a clear sense of purpose and determination.

Relocating my young family from Hong Kong to the UK and returning to full-time study after 10 years was a challenge—but one made possible by the unwavering support of my wife and family. Graduating with first-class honours remains one of the proudest and most meaningful achievements of my life.

Today, at Core Chiro in Richmond, I am committed to delivering high-quality, evidence-based chiropractic care in a calm, welcoming environment. My approach focuses not only on relieving pain—such as back pain, neck pain, and posture-related issues—but also on addressing the root cause, supporting long-term health, mobility, and overall wellbeing.

I believe that health is one of our greatest assets, and my goal is to serve my community with honest, dedicated chiropractic care for many years to come.

I am living my dream.

If you’re currently dealing with pain, discomfort, or simply want to take a proactive approach to your health, chiropractic care may be able to help. I would be honoured to support you on that journey.
