Fulton is home to Westminster College and William Woods University and sits just north of Jefferson City along Highway 54. Students, faculty, and families in Fulton make the short drive south for chiropractic care from doctors they trust, rather than settling for whoever is closest. Fulton families seeking sports injury care 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. Every care plan is written out and reviewed with you before treatment begins, so you know the timeline, the cost, and the expected results. For residents of Fulton, MO, that transparency is a big part of why they keep coming back.
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.
Yes. Dr. Galbraith works with student-athletes and tailors treatment to growing bodies. Parental consent is required for minors, and many Fulton families choose chiropractic care to avoid relying on pain medication for sports injuries.
The sooner the better. Early treatment reduces inflammation and speeds recovery, while waiting can let scar tissue form and prolong healing. Fulton 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 Fulton athletes can return to training without the injury recurring.
