Standing desks for short people!

MN I need your help. I cannot find anything that suits.

I am short. Normal desks are too tall for me (my current one is 74cm) and I have acquired a shoulder/neck pain due to the set up. The chiropractor has instructed me to get things sorted as the damage is not good.

I have tried to remedy this with an adjustable chair but the reality is, its not working.
I would prefer an adjustable desk as I have other random nerve pains which requires standing up a fair bit. I work from home around 80% of the time.

I need:
An adjustable desk thats minimum height sits around the 55-60cm mark (but maximum minimum height is 69/70cm)
Is no more than 106cm wide
Is no less than 70cm wide
Depth is no more than 70cm
Bonus points if it is white and electrical powered
Ideally needs to be in the £150-300 range but if it needs to be more, then it needs to be more. Work have said they will contribute.

While I am at it, if anyone has any recommendations for adjustable chairs for short people with neck/shoulder injuries then I'd be grateful!
