Dr. Colton and Dr. Kelsey Wood are a husband and wife team who created True Light Chiropractic with the vision of providing the best Chiropractic experience while fostering a community of individuals seeking their best health. Conveniently located on Walnut Street in downtown Celina, True Light specializes in treating the whole family, from expecting mothers and babies to teens and adults. The couple, who are expecting their first child this year, share with us the benefits of chiropractic care during pregnancy. 

Chiropractic care during pregnancy is one of the best tools to help support and care for mom as she prepares for birth. True Light Chiropractic helps pregnant mothers experience more comfort, better sleep, less stress and fewer aches and pains. Expecting moms can achieve optimal fetal position leading up to birth, a decrease in labor times and interventions, and a quicker postpartum recovery all with the help of chiropractic care.

Dr. Colton and Dr. Kelsey are both certified in the Webster Technique – a technique utilized by a trained prenatal Chiropractor. This means that the doctors are specifically trained to align a woman's pelvis, balance surrounding musculature, and are able to release any tension found within ligaments surrounding the uterus. The Webster Technique has helped countless women avoid unnecessary interventions during birth by properly preparing the mother's body.

What stage in pregnancy should a patient start receiving chiropractic care? Dr. Colton Wood explains, "many of our expecting mothers were receiving consistent chiropractic care prior to becoming pregnant, with a goal to become pregnant. We start tailoring our adjustments towards our specific prenatal technique as soon as we find out and continuously add new things as the pregnancy progresses. Ideally, we like to see women as early as we can so that we can help support their bodies through all of the physical and emotional changes that come with growing another human."

The Wood's dreamed of opening a practice in a location where they could raise a family, be near their families, and help a lot of people through regular chiropractic care. Having grown up in DFW, they began their search for a city with an awesome downtown square. They happened to visit Celina on the same night as a Friday Night Market – where they were welcomed with open arms. They saw so many families and kids running around enjoying their Friday night and immediately fell in love with the charm of Celina. From that Friday forward, they knew they had to be a part of this amazing community! The couple loves to connect and serve all families from Celina and surrounding cities. Contact them today to schedule your next appointment and see how chiropractic care can impact you and yours.
