Prenatal Chiropractic Care (Webster Technique)

Prenatal chiropractic care focuses on supporting the musculoskeletal and nervous systems throughout pregnancy. As the body adapts to accommodate a growing baby, hormonal changes, postural shifts, and increased ligament laxity can place additional stress on the spine and pelvis, often leading to discomfort and altered biomechanics.

The Webster Technique is a specialized chiropractic analysis and adjustment designed to reduce tension in the pelvis and surrounding soft tissues. This technique focuses on improving pelvic alignment and mobility, which may help create a more balanced environment for both mother and baby during pregnancy.

Research and clinical experience suggest that maintaining proper pelvic biomechanics during pregnancy can help reduce mechanical stress on the lower back, hips, and pelvis while supporting overall maternal comfort.

• Prenatal chiropractic care is commonly sought for:

• Pregnancy-related low back pain

• Pelvic pain and sacroiliac joint dysfunction

• Hip pain and gluteal tightness

• Round ligament discomfort

• Sciatic nerve irritation

• Mid-back and rib discomfort
