Taos is a quiet community just west of Jefferson City along Route C. Its residents enjoy a small-town feel while being close enough to the capital that a chiropractic appointment fits easily into a lunch break or an after-work trip. For pregnancy chiropractic, Taos residents choose Wheat Chiropractic because the practice has been voted Jefferson City's Best Chiropractic Office by City's Best Magazine every year since 2014 and the News Tribune Reader's Choice every year since 2016.

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 Taos 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 Taos 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 Taos 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 Taos makes regular appointments manageable.
Yes — the drive from Taos is about 10 minutes via Route C. Many Taos patients schedule midday or late-afternoon appointments, and we do our best to keep wait times short so you can get back to your day.
