Webster Technique
Chiropractic care enhances overall health by addressing the nervous system, which links the brain and body. Chiropractors correct spinal, pelvic, and cranial misalignments (subluxations) that can cause muscle imbalances, nerve stress, and impaired body function. The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic adjustment aimed at reducing sacral subluxation and SI joint dysfunction, improving neuro-biomechanical function in the pelvis. Developed by Dr. Larry Webster, this technique is recognized as a safe method to restore pelvic balance and function.

Prenatal Chiropractic Care
The Webster Technique is applicable to all weight-bearing individuals to assess and correct SI joint dysfunction and sacral subluxation. It is particularly beneficial for pregnant women, as sacral misalignment may contribute to difficult labor (dystocia) due to uterine nerve interference, pelvic misalignment, and muscle tension. Correcting these issues can facilitate optimal fetal positioning and improve birth outcomes.

Chiropractic and obstetric literature emphasize the importance of normal pelvic alignment and uterine function for a smoother labor and reducing stress on the baby’s spine and nervous system. Given the physical changes during pregnancy, such as increased hormone levels, weight gain, and posture shifts, pregnant women are more prone to sacral subluxation. Regular prenatal chiropractic adjustments during pregnancy can help optimize health for both mother and baby.

The International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) offers certification in the Webster Technique, ensuring that qualified doctors are proficient in this protocol.
