Chiropractors play a vital role
in
holistic health
Literally holistic means treating the body as a whole. These days when you have a medical problem your Primary Care Physician won’t address the problem but will send you to a specialist because medicine today breaks the body into specific parts.
Are You Looking For
While chiropractors don’t hold a medical doctor (MD) degree, they are Doctors of Chiropractic Care. Their studies include many of the same subjects that MDs study. These include physiology, orthopedics, anatomy, microbiology, radiology, and more.
Holistic Approach

WHAT IS THE GI MAPPING?
The GI-MAP test is a stool test that can help Dr. Livingston understand and address your gut health which can affect your overall health and wellbeing. It is a way of evaluating your stool for the good and bad bacteria present as well as viruses, parasites, fungi, and worms along with markers of inflammation, and also how well your digestive enzymes are functioning. Additionally, GI-Mapping also alerts Doctor Livingston of your overall immune function. In other words, it offers a comprehensive look at your overall gut health by measuring the pathogens in your gastrointestinal system. These will determine what microbes are causing any chronic illnesses.
The crucial role of the gut in overall health influences digestion, nutrient absorption, immune function, and mental well-being. Dysbiosis, which is an imbalance in your gut microbiome, can lead to many health issues like digestive disorders, autoimmune diseases, allergies, and mood disorders. The understanding and the maintenance of a healthy gut is necessary for overall wellness.
Dr. Livingston Lab Work
Some of the other types of lab work that Dr. Livingston could order are:
Digital X-rays
These are X-rays that use a low amount of radiation. They aid Dr. Livingston in assessing injuries to the spine and also to your extremities.
Saliva Testing
This is a viable tool to assess your general health and to investigate any underlying causes of several conditions.
MRI
An MRI is a non-invasive form of imaging that uses radio waves and a magnetic field in order to take pictures of bones as well as soft tissues. These pictures help in identifying hairline or stress fractures. With this identification, Dr. Livingston can proceed with treating your pain, preventing further damage, and determining your individualized treatment plan.
CT scan
CT scans are used in the diagnosis of your spinal structure and health. With this information Livingston Chiropractic can put together your personalized treatment plan. CT scans provide a more detailed view of your bones and your spine than a traditional 2D image does. With the results of the CT scan, Dr. Livingston will determine misalignments, degenerative changes, and other issues. He sometimes orders the CT scans with contrast to make the images even more visible.
Electromyography (EMG Testing)
With the results of this testing, Dr. Livingston can determine if you have any dysfunction or irregular activity to the function of your muscles. It will provide us with a very accurate diagnosis of your muscle injury and/or impairment.
**All of the above lab tests will help Dr. Livingston in determining the treatment plan he will use to relieve your pain and improve your functioning.

HORMONE PROFILES
Let’s begin with what hormones are. They are your body’s chemical messengers carrying information through your bloodstream to your cells. Generally, hormones affect very specific cells through receptors. The hormones are produced in the endocrine glands then they travel via the bloodstream to your tissues and organs. Every hormone has a specific goal to carry a key message to different parts of the body.
HORMONE PROFILES
Comes Naturally
Your body’s hormones control and balance practically every system in your body. They impact growth and development, mood control, stress management, and influence how your body breaks down food. Hormone testing is the best way to determine if your hormone levels are affecting your health in an adverse manner.
Hormone profile tests measure hormone levels. These help Dr. Livingston to understand your hormonal makeup so that he can identify any conditions that may arise. When these levels are too high or too low they can have a significant impact on your health. We use the results of these hormone tests for diagnosis, monitoring, and screening.

Livingston Chiropractic
The kind of care you receive at Livingston Chiropractic can help to balance your hormones in many ways:
01
Stress
When you are stressed you could be triggering a hormonal imbalance. Dr. Livingston can help reduce this stress with spinal adjustments.
02
Spinal Adjustments
Because there are many glands that regulate hormones and endocrine health in the spinal cord a misalignment could cause a miscommunication between the endocrine and the brain. An adjustment that is called a subluxation often helps to correct this type of misalignment. Ultimately, it will improve communication between the nervous system and the endocrine system.
03
Hormones
Feel-good hormones such as oxytocin, dopamine, and serotonin are released with chiropractic adjustments.
