Lohman is a small community southwest of Jefferson City in northern Moniteau County. Residents appreciate having access to experienced chiropractic care without needing to drive to a larger city, and the drive along Highway 50 is straightforward. When it comes to pediatric chiropractic, Lohman patients trust Wheat Chiropractic because patients benefit from advanced therapies beyond traditional adjusting, including a NovoTHOR red light therapy pod and mild hyperbaric oxygen chambers—tools most chiropractic offices do not offer. Whether you are dealing with a new injury or a chronic condition that has bothered you for years, the doctors take time to understand your situation and build a plan that fits. The drive from Lohman is short, and the personalized attention is worth every minute.
Chiropractic care for children is gentle, safe, and growing in popularity as more parents seek drug-free options for their kids. The birth process itself can stress a newborn's spine, and the tumbles, falls, and growth spurts of childhood add up. Wheat Chiropractic treats children from infants to teens using very light pressure—often no more than the pressure used to test a tomato for ripeness. Adjustments for kids look nothing like adult adjustments; they are quick, gentle, and often performed while the child sits on a parent's lap. Common reasons parents bring their children include colic, ear infections, bed-wetting, growing pains, postural issues from heavy backpacks, and sports injuries. The goal is to keep the nervous system functioning at its best so the body can heal and grow without interference. No medication, no forceful manipulation—just gentle, precise care.
Yes. Pediatric adjusting uses very light pressure—often no firmer than checking a ripe tomato—and is tailored to a child's size and stage. Dr. Wheat has treated children of all ages, and Lohman parents are welcome to stay in the room during every visit.
