Centertown sits along Highway 50 west of Jefferson City, a convenient straight shot for residents heading in for appointments. The community values dependable, drug-free healthcare options, and Wheat Chiropractic has served Centertown families for years. When it comes to pregnancy chiropractic, Centertown 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 Centertown is short, and the personalized attention is worth every minute.
Pregnancy shifts a woman's center of gravity, loosens ligaments through the hormone relaxin, and adds weight to the front of the body—all of which stress the lower back, pelvis, and hips. Up to 80 percent of pregnant women experience back pain, and many assume it is just part of the process. Wheat Chiropractic offers a drug-free alternative. Using the Webster Technique, a specific sacral analysis and adjustment designed for pregnant women, the doctors relieve pelvic tension, reduce lower-back pain, and help maintain proper pelvic balance. Specialized pregnancy pillows allow comfortable face-down positioning even in the third trimester. Care is safe in every trimester and does not involve medication that could affect the baby. Many patients report easier pregnancies, better sleep, and reduced labor times when the pelvis is properly aligned throughout pregnancy.
Yes. Chiropractic care is drug-free and non-invasive, making it one of the safest pain-relief options during pregnancy. Dr. Wheat is trained in the Webster Technique and uses pregnancy pillows for comfortable positioning, and Centertown moms are welcome in all three trimesters.
Many women begin in the second trimester as the belly grows and back pain starts, but care is safe from early pregnancy through delivery. Starting earlier helps maintain pelvic balance, and Centertown patients can schedule at any stage.
The Webster Technique is designed to restore pelvic balance and reduce uterine tension, which can create more room for the baby to turn. While it is not a guaranteed breech-turning technique, many Centertown moms seek it for that purpose—ask your doctor and OB for guidance.
Frequency depends on your stage of pregnancy and pain level—typically weekly in the second trimester and twice weekly near delivery. Your doctor sets a plan at your first visit, and the short drive from Centertown makes regular appointments manageable.
Yes — it is a straight 15-minute drive east on Highway 50. The route is simple and well-maintained, and many Centertown patients schedule early-morning or late-afternoon appointments to fit around work.
