Dr. Montgomery attended Montana State University obtaining a degree in Exercise Science and Physiology in 1999. He went on to spend the next seven years working as a personal trainer and strength and conditioning specialist in beautiful Bozeman, Monana. Working closely with a chiropractic physician, Dr. Clete Linebarger, who focused on Egoscue Method in Bozeman, Dr. Montgomery was inspired to attend University of Western States in Portland.
Dr. Montgomery attended the University of Western States and obtained his doctorate of chiropractic in 2010. With over 20 years of experience in strength and conditioning and the fitness industry, Dr. Montgomery has worked with every level of clients and patient, from youth to collegiate athletes to Olympians and professionals to seniors. He combines those experiences with a background in exercise science and lifestyle management and a deep education in clinical treatment and rehabilitation.
He has been certified as a personal trainer and a StrongFirst Kettlebell Instructor and has made kettlebells a focus of his own exercise, as well as that of his patients and students. He has a passion for exercise and continues to work with clients in strength and conditioning programming and kettlebell instruction.
He has been closely involved with educating future chiropractic physicians since 2010. First as faculty teaching at University of Western States, the 2nd oldest chiropractic college in the world, while building his first chiropractic practice and then for 7 years as a clinic director supervising senior chiropractic interns in a clinical setting while treating patients. He continues to be involved in University of Western States' Community Based Internship program and has the most highly qualified senior chiropractic interns finishing their clinical rounds and experience in his clinic.
What do you like most about how you have set up your practice?
I love working closely with my chiropractic interns. Together, we are at the forefront of a changing chiropractic landscape. It’s great to be aware of the latest research and methods that are impacting patient lives.
What do you love the most about being a chiropractic physician?
The opportunity to educate and empower patients to be in control of their own health.
Do you have a specialization? If so, what inspired you to pursue that?
Many people would say I tend to ‘specialize’ in rehab and exercise. I think that I try to specialize in connecting with, communicating with and educating patients. Working in the setting I do, it is crucial that the patients and I communicate well. It’s also the thing that I get the greatest satisfaction from in my job.
What is it like to incorporate soon to be chiropractic physicians into your patients care?
It really is an amazing experience for our patients to be part of an amazing setting where the very best soon to be chiropractors are honing their clinical skills. I am incredibly active in our patients treatment and I direct all of the care, whether I am the one doing the treatment or any one of my amazing interns. The skillset that these future doctors possess never ceases to amaze me and the patients are the real winners here. I feel like they could go to many other clinics in the area and get the same old treatment that people have been getting for the last twenty years. Not here. We spend so much time making sure that we are using the most up to date evidence based clinical practice and our patient outcomes prove it!
What do you enjoy doing away from the office?
I enjoy spending time with my family most of all. My amazing wife, Kristin, and our two boys, Emmett and Jack are always looking for adventure. We love to head to the coast in the summer and spend the winter snowboarding on Mt. Hood.

Unfortunately, the years of softball had caught up to me, and I tore my shouder labrum. After having my shoulder repaired with surgery, I continued treatment and physiotherapy/rehabilitation treatments with Dr. M and his crew. I am back to my normal fitness routine ahead of schedule following this type of shoulder procedure. With all the treatment the clinic has provided, I feel stronger than ever. I am excited to continue competing physically within my CrossFit gym and pursuing my career as a firefighter."
