Expert Chiropractic Care in West Calder

At Livingston Chiropractic, we are dedicated to providing expert chiropractic care tailored to individuals of all ages, from infants to seniors. Established as a family-owned clinic in West Calder, West Lothian, our practice focuses on diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal conditions through skilled, hands-on adjustments. Our primary goal is to address the root cause of discomfort rather than merely alleviating symptoms, promoting natural healing and improved well-being. With over two decades of combined experience, our team, led by chiropractor Astrid Sherwood, specialises in managing back pain, neck pain, headaches, sciatica, and joint issues, including tailored care for expectant mothers and children.

We prioritise patient education, offering advice on posture, injury prevention, and lifestyle adjustments to support long-term health. Located conveniently on the A71 in West Calder, our clinic provides accessible, compassionate care with flexible appointment times, including select Saturdays. By adhering to rigorous professional standards and maintaining affiliations with leading chiropractic organisations, we ensure our patients receive reliable, evidence-based treatments in a welcoming environment.

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.
