Services
Chiropractic Adjustments
Our chiropractic adjustments use precise manual techniques to realign the spine and joints, alleviating pain from conditions like sciatica, neck strain, and sports injuries. This non-invasive approach restores mobility, reduces inflammation, and supports the body's natural healing processes. Patients benefit from improved posture and long-term relief from chronic discomfort.
Pregnancy Care
Specialised chiropractic care during pregnancy addresses pelvic misalignment, lower back pain, and sciatic nerve discomfort caused by postural changes. Gentle adjustments enhance pelvic balance, potentially easing labour and delivery. Postnatal care focuses on restoring spinal alignment and addressing musculoskeletal strain from childbirth.
Paediatric Chiropractic
We provide safe, gentle chiropractic care for infants and children to address issues like colic, feeding difficulties, and developmental delays linked to spinal tension. Our techniques support nervous system function and promote healthy growth, with adjustments tailored to each child's unique needs and comfort.
Neck Pain Relief
Targeted treatments for neck pain caused by poor posture, whiplash, or degenerative conditions involve spinal manipulation and soft tissue therapy. These interventions reduce stiffness, improve range of motion, and alleviate headaches originating from cervical spine dysfunction through a structured, patient-specific approach.
Sciatica Management
Our sciatica treatment combines spinal adjustments, traction techniques, and rehabilitative exercises to relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve. This comprehensive approach addresses disc herniation, spinal stenosis, or piriformis syndrome causes, reducing radiating leg pain and restoring functional mobility.

I would like to respond to the review of Mr King. As the owner of Livingston Chiropractic I am sorry you feel I was rude to you, none of my other patients have ever complained about my telephone manner. As I tried to explain to your wife when she called, I was fully booked for the next three days and I offered the first available time. I hope you were able to find a chiropractor on the day you needed one and that you are now feeling better. Thank you for getting in touch with Livingston Chiropractic.

I have been a patient of Astrid's for a couple of years now. I was a little nervous at first, this was my first time using a chiropractor. She is very friendly and put me at ease. Now I feel so alive and have lots more energy - I visited for a neck problem initially. I see Astrid every 6-8 weeks for a top up treatment. Her new clinic is wonderful, very bright and welcoming. I'm very happy to recommend Astrid and Livingston Chiropractic.
