Introducing the safe chiropractic approach to improved pregnancy wellness.
The Webster Technique is a specific Chiropractic Technique performed on pregnant moms to properly analyze the alignment of the pelvic bones, the mobility/stability in the pelvic joints, and the tension of the soft tissue supporting the pelvis and uterus. The Chiropractic Adjustment will reduce the effects of sacral-iliac (SI) joint dysfunctions and restore proper neuro-biomechanical function in the pelvis.
Imbalances in the pelvis and its support structures contribute to the discomforts of pregnancy, and may lead to a more difficult labor and birth (ie dystocia). Because the baby’s position in the womb often reflects the tension, positions, and patterns of the pregnant mom, Webster Technique has been shown to help baby mal-presentations (such as breech position) when mom’s body balance is restored.
How the Webster Technique Works
During pregnancy, the pelvis plays a crucial role in supporting both mom and baby. Any misalignment or dysfunction in the sacroiliac (SI) joints can lead to discomfort, limit mobility, and even affect the baby’s positioning. The Webster Technique is designed to correct these imbalances by restoring neuro-biomechanical function in the pelvis, ensuring that everything moves and functions as it should.
The chiropractic adjustment specifically targets the sacrum and surrounding joints, helping reduce the effects of SI joint dysfunction. This not only eases discomfort but also creates an optimal environment for the baby, allowing for better fetal positioning.
Benefits of the Webster Technique
Restoring balance to the pelvis and its supportive structures offers several key benefits during pregnancy:
-
Reduced Pregnancy Discomfort: Misalignments in the pelvis can lead to back pain, pelvic pain, and other discomforts. The Webster Technique helps alleviate these issues by promoting proper alignment and reducing tension.
-
Improved Fetal Positioning: Because the baby’s position often mirrors the tension and alignment patterns in the mother’s body, restoring balance in the pelvis can help resolve baby mal-presentations, such as breech positioning.
-
Easier Labor and Delivery: Imbalances in the pelvis can contribute to longer, more difficult labors (known as dystocia). By addressing these imbalances, the Webster Technique helps create the conditions for a smoother, more efficient labor and delivery.
