Webster Technique

The Webster Technique is a gentle, specific chiropractic adjustment that focuses on the sacroiliac joints, pelvis, and surrounding soft tissue structures. Originally developed by Dr. Larry Webster, the technique aims to correct misalignments and reduce tension in the pelvis and lower spine.

Unlike typical chiropractic adjustments that focus on the whole spine, the Webster Technique is designed specifically for pregnant women, taking into account the unique changes their bodies experience throughout pregnancy.

As the uterus expands and hormones like relaxin cause joints to loosen, the alignment of the pelvis can shift. This may lead to:

• Lower back pain

• Pelvic discomfort

• Round ligament pain

• Sciatica

• Difficulty walking or standing for long periods

By using the Webster Technique to gently realign the pelvis and address muscle and ligament tension, we help reduce these symptoms and improve comfort during pregnancy.

Many of our pregnant patients also report improved mobility, better sleep, and a more comfortable third trimester after receiving regular Webster Technique adjustments.

Pelvic misalignment doesn't just affect mom—it can also influence the baby's position in the womb. When the pelvis is out of balance, it may reduce the amount of space available for the baby to move into the head-down (vertex) position, especially in the final weeks of pregnancy.

By optimizing pelvic alignment and reducing intrauterine constraint, the Webster Technique may:

• Promote optimal fetal positioning

• Encourage a head-down position

• Support a smoother, more efficient labor process

While the technique does not turn breech babies, it helps create a more favorable environment in the uterus, which may allow the baby to move more freely into the ideal position on its own.
