California, Missouri is the county seat of Moniteau County, known for its charming brick downtown and the annual Missouri Wine Festival. California residents make the easy drive north on Highway 63 to Jefferson City for chiropractic care from a clinic with nearly two decades of experience. When it comes to sports injury care, California 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 California is short, and the personalized attention is worth every minute.
Whether you are a weekend warrior, a high school athlete, or a regular at the gym, sports injuries sideline you from the activities you love. Wheat Chiropractic treats the full range of sports injuries—sprained ankles, rotator cuff strains, runner's knee, tennis elbow, and back injuries—using a combination of chiropractic adjusting, soft-tissue work, electric stimulation, and rehabilitative exercise. The focus is not just pain relief but restoring proper biomechanics so the injury does not return. Dr. Galbraith has worked with athletes of all levels and understands the urgency of getting back in the game safely. Treatment plans include return-to-play milestones, sport-specific exercises, and guidance on training modifications, so you recover fully rather than rushing back and re-injuring yourself. Drug-free care keeps athletes off NSAIDs and avoids masking pain that signals a problem.

The sooner the better. Early treatment reduces inflammation and speeds recovery, while waiting can let scar tissue form and prolong healing. California athletes are encouraged to call (573) 636-3555 within a day or two of the injury.
Yes. Overuse injuries like runner's knee and tennis elbow respond well to a combination of adjusting, soft-tissue work, and corrective exercise. Your doctor identifies the biomechanical cause, not just the pain site, so California athletes can return to training without the injury recurring.
