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. When it comes to red light therapy, Taos 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 Taos is short, and the personalized attention is worth every minute.
Red light therapy uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to penetrate the skin and stimulate cellular repair. The light is absorbed by the mitochondria—the energy factories of your cells—which boosts ATP production, reduces inflammation, and accelerates tissue healing. Wheat Chiropractic features a NovoTHOR full-body light therapy pod, the same professional-grade system used by elite sports teams and NASA. A session is simple: you relax in the pod for 10–20 minutes while the LED panels deliver therapeutic light to your entire body. Patients use it to reduce muscle soreness, speed injury recovery, improve skin quality, ease joint pain, and boost energy. Red light therapy is non-invasive, painless, and has no downtime—it complements chiropractic adjustments by reducing the inflammation that keeps joints stiff. Available exclusively for active chiropractic patients at the clinic.
