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. Patients in Lohman choose Wheat Chiropractic for migraine treatment because care is personalized for every age and stage, from children and athletes to expectant mothers and seniors, so the approach is always matched to the person in front of the doctor. The doctors treat the whole family — children, athletes, expectant mothers, and seniors — and the clinic has served Jefferson City and the surrounding area since 2006, giving Dr. Wheat and Dr. Galbraith nearly two decades of hands-on experience. That depth of experience shows in how carefully each visit is tailored, whether you are a first-time patient or have been in care for years.
Migraines and chronic tension headaches are frequently linked to misalignment in the upper cervical spine. When the vertebrae at the base of the skull lose proper motion, they irritate the nerves and blood vessels that trigger headache pain. Wheat Chiropractic treats migraines by correcting those cervical restrictions with precise, gentle adjustments, reducing the frequency and intensity of attacks for many patients without medication. Care typically includes cervical adjusting, trigger-point work on the suboccipital muscles at the base of the skull, and guidance on posture and triggers. Because migraines have multiple causes, the doctors also review diet, hydration, and sleep patterns that may be contributing. Many patients who thought they would rely on medication for life find their headache count dropping significantly within the first month of consistent care.
Research and clinical experience show that cervical adjustments can reduce migraine frequency and intensity in many patients. Wheat Chiropractic targets the upper-neck restrictions that trigger headache pain, and Lohman patients often see fewer migraines within the first few weeks of care.
A neurologist typically prescribes medication; Wheat Chiropractic addresses the mechanical neck restrictions that trigger migraines in the first place. The two approaches complement each other, and many Lohman patients combine chiropractic care with their existing treatment plan.
Some patients notice a reduction after 2–3 visits, but most see meaningful improvement over 4–8 weeks of consistent care. Your doctor tracks headache frequency and intensity at each visit so progress is measurable, not guesswork.
In most cases yes—chiropractic care for headaches is covered under major medical plans. The front desk verifies your benefits before your first visit, so Lohman patients know their out-of-pocket cost before treatment begins.
