The Webster Technique

​

The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic sacral analysis and diversified adjustment. The goal of the adjustment is to reduce the effects of sacral subluxation/ SI joint dysfunction. In doing so, neuro-biomechanical function in the pelvis is facilitated.  Leading to a happier and less stressed pregnancy and delivery.

Finding a Pregnancy Chiropractor

​

Our best advice is to check with the ICPA. This pediatric organization maintains a directory of chiropractors committed to family care. There you can find those who hold various certifications. Those holding the Webster Certification have an in-depth understanding of the importance of chiropractic care during pregnancy. Those holding the Perinatal Certification have continued with courses that build on the comprehensive expertise of care throughout the perinatal period from preconception through postpartum.

Correction of Breech Babies

Typically, while a baby is in the womb, it is positioned in a breech presentation. Physicians generally do not become concerned about the baby's position until around 37 weeks of pregnancy. However, about four percent of deliveries occur with the baby in a breech position, which can be dangerous and potentially life-threatening.
