Celebrating Dr. Dick's Retirement
SEND RETIREMENT GREETINGS to DR. KEN W. DICK
For over 40 years Ken has thoroughly enjoyed the privilege of serving patients at the Britannia Chiropractic Clinic and he will retire on December 17, 2025.
When Ken began his practice, he had a calligrapher paint the following words in large letters in the reception room of the clinic.
“We are here to honour the inborn potential of everyone to be truly healthy. We seek to remove interference so the body can heal itself. We are grateful for the opportunity to witness nature’s miracles and the privilege to serve others”.
Those words still resonate with him today as he is truly grateful for the opportunity to have met over 11,000 patients.
Ken sold almost 5,000 copies of his book, Healing Satori, and is bursting with pride now that he has 2 children continuing his chiropractic legacy. He jokes that he will need at least 2 chiropractors to keep him going in his later years.
He is also relieved to know that he leaves his patients in good hands, in that they are welcome to continue their care with Dr. Patrick Kirkham at the same clinic or with his son, Dr. Matthew Dick who has practiced for 3 years at the Kanata Family Chiropractic Clinic:

Dr. Dick…you played a monumental role in my perseverance with health struggles over the years. Many thanks for your very professional, kind and compassionate services. I really appreciated your excellent listening skills and integrity. You mentioned stories in your book that still make me laugh. I wish you and your family all the very best – safe travel, good health, peace, joy, love and laughter always, Monica.
Thank you Monica, Your response to challenges have always been an inspiration for me. Keep well, Ken
Dr. Ken Dick. Thank you for many years of treatment on my neck and feet. It was such a pleasure in addition to your medical expertise discussing improving my poker and golf games. You are such a honest caring and knowledgeable individual and I am a lucky person to have you as a friend! Enjoy your retirement Kennie!
Thanks Ron for your kind words. It was a pleasure to have you as a patient and I believe you are in even better hands now that you are seeing my son, Dr. Matthew Dick. Take good care and keep well.
Good morning, Ken
Your excellent chiropractic efforts have enabled me to live life fully, pain free and with high mobility. I also appreciate your sharing of exercise charts and tips which I use almost daily.
I have enjoyed our time together, You are among the most principled and ethical people I have encountered. Your children are fortunate to have you as a role model.
It has been a pleasure getting to know you a little. I wish you all the best in this next stage of your life.

Thank you Peter for your kind words. Your appreciation for my services has helped sustain me for a long career. I have so enjoyed being part of your health care team and will miss our interactions. However, I do hope we can continue to keep in touch. Keep well, Dr. Ken W. Dick
Congrats Ken on your upcoming retirement and thank-you for being the best chiropractor to me over the past 31 years and a kindly, wise, good friend too. We will miss your expertise and immense compassion. Wishing you all good things, great health, fun new adventures, continued prosperity and happiness always in your new chapter. With high regard,
Ken – congratulations on your upcoming retirement. You deserve it for all the help you’ve given not just to me but to all your patients. When I came to you in 1997 I could barely move my arms enough to fasten my own seat belt. After only 5 appointments I had a noticeable increase in my mobility. With your encouragement I started exercising regularly doing cardio and weights, along with the chiropractic adjustments. Wishing you and your family all the best in this new chapter in your life.
Thanks for your kind words Linda. You were a pleasure to have as a patient. Keep well, Dr. Ken W. Dick

Ken…a quick note to thank you for the many years of quality care. It’s been a pleasure being part of the Britannia Chiropractic Clinic. You’ve taken great care of the people I’ve referred. We wish you a relaxing and fun retirement. It’s been a pleasure. Thank you. Richard and

Thank you…and you have taught me much…including the intricacies of playing underwater hockey. Keep well.
Sending a huge THANK YOU to Ken Dick, and my sincere wishes for a fulfilling retirement. He helped me to stay active, and has been an inspiration in my daily life. Congratulations!
Thank you Shelly for your kind words on my retirement. I always enjoyed our clinic interactions and hope you are still keeping active.
Keep well,

Dr. Dick, Thank you for your care, I so appreciate your kindness! Wishing you all the best in retirement! Sincerely, Nicole B.
Thanks Nicole…now keep that positive attitude going forward and keep well. Regards, Ken
“Congratulations on your retirement! The best part is you’ve now got a permanent 7-day weekend.”
Thanks Gerry…I will come to you to manage my golf expectations.
In the autumn of 1996 I walked into Britannia Chiropractic Clinic with tingling and numbness in my right arm. Ken had been successfully treating my wife for some time so I was confident that he would fix me up. He ordered an x-ray and within 3 or 4 treatments my symptoms had disappeared, and other less noticeable aches and pains had evaporated also.. So it has been 29 years of neck adjustments, and recently Ken has been skillfully advising me about my newly-acquired mild case of sciatica.
Ken, I have treasured your experience and vast knowledge. I know first-hand that retirement can be great fun. I wish you a long one with plenty of opportunities for travel. All the best.
Thank you Michael for sharing your story. You made a commitment to focus on your health and I am honoured to have been a part of your healing journey. I wish you all the best going forward. Keep well. Dr. Ken W. Dick
