Services
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care addresses joint, bone, and muscle problems affecting the nervous system. Our registered practitioners use manual adjustments to improve spinal efficiency and activate natural healing. Treatments last 30 minutes or more in private rooms, focusing on conditions like back pain, neck pain, and sports injuries through evidence-based techniques.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy uses acoustic waves to stimulate healing for chronic tendon injuries and musculoskeletal conditions. This non-invasive treatment reduces pain and improves mobility by increasing blood circulation and breaking down calcifications. Common applications include plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, and shoulder pain, often combined with rehabilitation programs.
Sports Injuries
Our sports injury program combines chiropractic techniques with functional rehabilitation for athletes. Specialised treatments address running injuries, cycling-related pain, and sports trauma through active release techniques, kinesiology taping, and bespoke exercise plans. We focus on rapid recovery and prevention of recurring injuries using evidence-based protocols.
Functional Range Assessment
Functional Range Assessment evaluates joint health and mobility across the body. This diagnostic tool identifies compensations and movement dysfunctions, creating a personalised roadmap for improvement. Combined with Functional Range Conditioning, it enhances joint strength and body control through science-based mobility training programs.
Dry Needling
Dry needling targets muscle trigger points to relieve pain and tension. Fine needles stimulate nerve endings, releasing endorphins and serotonin for conditions like headaches, back pain, and tennis elbow. This technique differs from traditional acupuncture by focusing specifically on musculoskeletal trigger points rather than energy meridians.

Always a great experience during check-ups, and even better results! James goes the extra mile and always maximizing on treatment for what you booked in for! Totally recommend anyone who has a lot of different issues around the body, and James is able to tackle all at the same time. Receptionists always on point and professional too :)

As a passionate Cyclist, I was recommended to see Sports Chiro James, who works for a Professional Cycle team. I've seen many "therapists" and he is by far the best! With a full examination, looking at every biomechanics detail, answering my questions (I had a lot), he diagnosed my problems. With his guidance, treatment and home functional rehab, its the 1st time I am able to cycle pain free, and improving each week! A huge Thank you!! Defo see Chiro James Power!!

Love this place! Everyones very friendly. Obviously you only get a good treatment if the doctors really good. Dr Ross Montgomery has been absolutely amazing! My physiotherapist has been quite surprised at the speed of recovery I have had. At the start I thought physio should be enough, so I didnt go for chiro for a couple of weeks and recovery slowed down considerably. Also, adjustments that they make especially to the back and neck feel like a godsend, specifically for someone whose work involves being at a desk/on a laptop the whole day

I cannot recommend Dr Montgomery enough at the Live free Chiropractic and Wellness clinic. He has not only helped me with my back pain but also given me the tools to rehabilitate my back in order to remain pain free in the future with specific stretches and exercises for my condition.

Came in for a few appointments to fix up a back problem. The team at Live Free were friendly and engaging in explaining what they were doing and why it would help. After a few appointments, and some serious rest, I am almost good as new!
