Chiropractic care throughout pregnancy is vital for the optimal function of both mom and baby. Webster Technique is a chiropractic assessment and series of adjustments explicitly designed for pregnant moms. This technique helps to balance the pelvis and reduce stress on ligaments and muscles surrounding the uterus. This gentle technique helps relieve low back pain experienced during pregnancy. In addition, the Webster Technique creates a balanced pelvis, promoting healthy pregnancy, labor, and delivery.
The goal of the technique is to reduce sacral (tailbone) misalignments to improve the function of your pelvis. Sacral misalignments may contribute to a more difficult labor. Misalignment may lead to impaired uterine function, pelvic contraction, and baby mal-presentation, for example.
