Problems We Solve at Live Well Chiropractic
If any of the conditions below match what you’re dealing with, book a first visit. Your chiropractor will identify the structural cause and explain what’s driving it.
Stiffness that starts in the morning and builds through a desk day. Tightness that runs into the shoulder or base of the skull. Usually postural and treatable once the X-ray confirms the cause.
The most common condition we treat. Pain that flares when you sit too long, bend, or carry weight. In many cases the disc or joint causing it shows clearly on X-ray
Recurring headaches that panadol masks but doesn’t stop. Many originate from the cervical spine. Tension and misalignment at the top of the neck, not the head itself.
Pain when lifting your arm, reaching overhead, or sleeping on one side. Most patients assume the shoulder joint is the problem. The cause usually sits higher up.
Curved spine identified at a school screening or adult check-up. Your chiropractor assesses degree of curvature, progression risk, and whether a treatment plan suits your age and build.
Sharp pain, numbness, or weakness that runs into the arm or leg. A slipped disc compresses the nerve root. Where the symptom appears tells us which level is affected.
Tingling or numbness in the hands, fingers, or feet. Usually a compression issue at the spine or surrounding joints.
Pain climbing stairs, squatting, or after a run. Often traced back to hip or ankle mechanics feeding into the knee, not the joint itself.
Pelvic and lower back discomfort during pregnancy. Your chiropractor uses pregnancy-safe techniques and sees expectant mothers from first trimester through to delivery.
Who We Treat at Our Potong Pasir Clinic
Five patient groups walk through this clinic regularly. If you’re one of them, the conditions you’re managing are ones Dr. Kim and Dr. Ellis see and treat every week.
Office workers commuting via Potong Pasir MRT
Hours of sitting through a commute and a desk day are structural problems, not muscular ones, and that’s the case for most professionals passing through Potong Pasir MRT daily. Neck stiffness that starts as an end-of-day ache shows up earlier in the week over time, and stretching between meetings hasn’t fixed it.
Forward head posture compresses the cervical spine, and prolonged sitting loads the lumbar discs unevenly. Stretching releases the surface muscle for a few minutes; it doesn’t correct the joint alignment underneath.
Dr. Kim or Dr. Ellis identifies the affected joint, confirms it on X-ray, and builds a plan around a typical office schedule. Evening slots run until 9pm on Monday, Thursday, and Friday.
Migraine and recurring headache sufferers
Severe, week-long headaches in middle school are what first brought Dr. Kim Buyeong to chiropractic. A chance treatment eased his symptoms after that first session, and continued care brought them close to disappearing entirely. That personal experience shapes how he now works with patients who’ve been told migraines are just something to manage with medication.
Many recurring headaches originate in the cervical spine rather than the head itself. Dr. Kim’s Chiropractic Biophysics certification and his training in Upper Cervical Technique focus specifically on that connection rather than treating the head in isolation.
Athletes and golfers with sports injuries
Load management, not rest, is what resolves most sports injuries walking into this clinic. Dr. Jason Ellis brings 22 years of clinical experience, more than any other chiropractor across Live Well’s four locations, and is a National Academy of Sports Medicine certified Golf Rehab Specialist.
His own path into chiropractic started with sports injuries in his youth, which built his interest in anatomy, physiology, and proper rehabilitation. He is certified in extremity and instrument adjusting and won’t default to rest-only advice without a load-management plan alongside it.
Families in Potong Pasir and the new Bidadari estate
Bidadari Park opened in September 2024 with Alkaff Lake at its center, and the new HDB flats in the surrounding Bidadari estate have drawn a wave of young families into the area since. A scoliosis flag from a school screening at St. Andrew’s Secondary or CHIJ Katong Convent, both nearer to Potong Pasir MRT than to their own namesake neighbourhoods, means a curvature was measured, not that treatment is automatically required.
Every school in Singapore runs the Health Promotion Board’s annual scoliosis check, and Dr. Kim and Dr. Ellis see flagged children and teenagers for post-screening assessments, walking parents through what the result actually means.
Seniors in Potong Pasir's original estate
Degenerative disc changes and spondylosis, not age on its own, drive most of the chronic back pain seniors in Potong Pasir’s older blocks live with for years before seeking care. The estate’s HDB flats went up between 1982 and 1984, making this one of Singapore’s older, more established towns.
Chiropractic care for degenerative conditions focuses on managing how fast they progress and how much function they take away, not reversing wear that’s already there. Dr. Kim and Dr. Ellis adjust technique and pressure for older patients and screen for the fractures, advanced osteoporosis, and vascular conditions that rule out adjustment before recommending a plan.
Chiropractic Treatments We Provide
At Live Well Chiropractic Singapore, we offer a variety of Chiropractic treatment modalities to provide personalised care catered to your unique needs.
Patient Case Study
Joey is a 23 year old female who was diagnosed with a Scoliosis at the age of 14. Her scoliosis on X-ray assessment measured out to be 32 degrees. She suffers from neck and lower back aches as result of the scoliosis. Here we have her on a Scoliosis orthotic which mirror images her curve, whilst implementing scapula movement to stabilise finer skeletal muscles.

What to Expect at Your First Chiropractic Treatment at Live Well Chiropractic
First visits take about 20 to 30 minutes. Here’s what that time covers.
Consultation and History Taking
Your chiropractor goes through your medical history, current symptoms, and what you’re hoping to achieve. If you’ve had X-rays or scans taken elsewhere in the last six months, bring them along.
Postural Assessment and Physical Examination
We run a digital postural scan and a physical examination to identify where misalignment or structural issues are present. This gives us an objective picture of your spine before any treatment begins, not just a description of where it hurts.
First Adjustment
If the examination confirms it’s safe to proceed, you receive your first chiropractic adjustment in the same visit. You don’t need a second appointment before treatment starts.
X-Ray Review and Treatment Plan
On your second visit, your chiropractor walks you through your X-ray findings in plain language, confirms your diagnosis, and outlines a recovery plan matched to your actual condition and goals. No generic protocols.
Why Patients Choose
Live Well Chiropractic
We find the cause, not just where it hurts. Your chiropractor reviews your X-rays with you, explains the findings in plain language, and builds a treatment plan around why the pain keeps returning. If you’ve spent months getting generic advice and no real answers, this tends to feel different.
We treat patients who still want to train. Athletes and regular gym-goers make up a large part of our patient base. Our chiropractors understand load, movement patterns, and return-to-sport timelines. You won’t be told to stop training and come back in four weeks.
We see the whole family. Our chiropractors treat patients from teenagers through to seniors. If a school scoliosis screening flagged your child, or you need care for yourself and your teenager in the same clinic, you don’t need separate referrals or separate clinics.
You get treated on your first visit. If your assessment confirms it’s safe to proceed, your adjustment happens in the same session. No waiting for a second appointment before anything starts.
Four clinics across Singapore. Livewell operates in Sengkang, Bedok, Potong Pasir and Toa Payoh. If your schedule changes or you need a different location, you switch clinics without starting your case history over.

Frequently Asked Questions
For the vast majority of patients, yes. Contraindications do exist, including certain fractures, advanced osteoporosis, and specific vascular conditions. Your assessment screens for these before any treatment begins, and your chiropractor refers out if chiropractic isn't appropriate for your situation.
Often, yes. Dr. Kim Buyeong experienced severe recurring headaches himself before chiropractic care resolved them, and treats patients whose headaches originate in the cervical spine rather than the head itself.
Yes. Dr. Ellis is a National Academy of Sports Medicine certified Golf Rehab Specialist with 22 years of clinical experience, and builds load-management plans for athletes rather than defaulting to rest.
Yes. Dr. Kim and Dr. Ellis see children and teenagers flagged at school screenings, including at St. Andrew's Secondary and CHIJ Katong Convent, for post-screening assessments. Explaining findings to both parent and child.
The $68 first trial covers a doctor's consultation, postural assessment, and one treatment. Your chiropractor selects between a chiropractic adjustment or spinal decompression therapy based on your assessment findings. If you've had recent X-rays or an MRI, they review those in the same session.
There's no universal answer. Some patients with acute pain improve in three to five sessions. Chronic conditions or structural issues like scoliosis typically take longer. Your Chiropractor will give you a specific estimate at your second visit, after reviewing your X-rays.
Your chiropractor applies a controlled, targeted force to the joint identified as the cause on your X-ray. Most patients describe it as pressure, not pain, with some mild soreness in the 24 hours after, similar to post-exercise fatigue.
Yes. Neck and shoulder pain from desk work is one of the most common presentations at this clinic, treated by confirming which cervical joint is compressed rather than just releasing the surface muscle.
Inform us when booking. Post-surgical cases can often still be treated, but your chiropractor needs to review your surgical history and imaging before proceeding.
Chiropractic care is not Medisave or MediShield Life claimable. Some integrated shield plans and corporate health benefits do include it. Check your policy documents or ask your HR team; we issue receipts with the appropriate procedure codes for chiropractic insurance claims.
