Our clinic is in Brewster Square close to Bellsquarry, Murieston and Adambrae and only minutes from the centre of Livingston. There is free parking directly in front of our building, street level access and facilities for persons of reduced mobility. Chiropractic is a primary contact health profession that specialises in the diagnosis, treatment, prevention and management of conditions that are due to problems with the bones, joints, muscles and nerves, particularly those of the spine.
We treat patients with a range of conditions such as low and mid back pain and stiffness, neck problems, headaches, poor posture, sciatica and shoulder, hip, elbow and knee pain. At Livingston Chiropractic Astrid (Chiropractor and Practice Owner) works on all parts of the body, concentrating particularly on the spine, using her hands to perform skilled, precise manipulation.

Services
The most common reason our patients first seek chiropractic care is because they are suffering from back pain.
For some this has occurred recently, for others they have lived with discomfort for some time.
Chiropractic adjusting or manipulation helps to remove the interference in the spinal system and relieve the pain in a drug free way.
This does not happen immediately, normally a series of treatments will be required, but most patients do begin to feel some improvement as soon as they have received their first adjustment.

At Livingston Chiropractic we adjust babies and children of all ages.
Chiropractic care for children is very gentle, only light pressure is needed to adjust the supple spine of an infant or young child.
Astrid's own children both had their first chiropractic adjustment when they were only minutes old and have been receiving regular adjustments ever since.
Children are made to feel comfortable with Adjusta Bear, a teddy bear with an adjustable spine.
There are also toys and books for children in the reception area.

Many women experience low back pain, headaches arising from the neck and pelvic girdle pain (PGP), previously know as symphysis pubis pain (SPD), during pregnancy.
This quite often makes what should be an exciting and enjoyable time very uncomfortable and miserable.
Many expectant mothers are told to put up with this as it is to be expected when they are pregnant.
There are several reasons for pain to occur during pregnancy; one being the hormonal and physical changes that are happening to the body, but another and often ignored reason is poor musculoskeletal health that was already present prior to becoming pregnant.

Neck pain is referred to as cervical pain.
Neck pain is often due to stress or strain and irritation of the muscles, ligaments, facet joints and intervertebral discs in the cervical spine region.
This can develop after a traumatic injury or over time secondary to poor posture, lack of exercise or repetitive stress, such as prolonged sitting and driving.
Postural stress or repetitive strain and irritation of the neck, upper back and shoulder region is common in today's society, often leading to cervical spine stiffness and facet joint restriction.

Astrid will begin by taking a full case history, discussing your current problem and previous health history.
A full examination of your spine and other areas relevant to your complaint will then be performed.
This often involves postural, structural, neurological, orthopaedic and motion testing.
With the help of models and illustrations Astrid will explain to you the problem you have and will discuss your options and recommend an appropriate treatment plan.
If it is considered that your problem is unlikely to respond to chiropractic treatment then you will be referred to your GP.
