Linn is the county seat of Osage County, located along Highway 50 east of Jefferson City. The Linn community is home to the Osage County R-II school district and a number of local businesses. Residents make the drive west on Highway 50 for chiropractic care that is not available closer to home. For sports injury care, Linn 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.

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 Linn 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. Linn athletes are encouraged to call (573) 636-3555 within a day or two of the injury.
