Patients in St. Martins choose Wheat Chiropractic for pregnancy chiropractic 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.

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 St. Martins 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 St. Martins 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 St. Martins 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 St. Martins makes regular appointments manageable.
