Holts Summit families seeking pregnancy chiropractic rely on Wheat Chiropractic because every treatment plan is drug-free and non-surgical, using hands-on care and supportive therapies to address the root cause rather than masking symptoms with medication.

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 Holts Summit 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 Holts Summit 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 Holts Summit 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 Holts Summit makes regular appointments manageable.
Absolutely — many of our patients commute from Holts Summit across the Highway 179 bridge. The drive is about 10 minutes, and we offer morning and late-afternoon appointments so you can stop in on your way to or from work.
