The Webster Technique optimizes pelvic function for pregnancy and childbirth.
It is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment that reduces nervous system stress, balances the alignment of the pelvis at the level of its bones, muscles, and ligaments.
The physiological causes that contribute to creating pelvic instability during pregnancy are mainly hormone production and the body’s compensations with the change of gravity that create joint instability in the pelvis.
The Webster Technique is generally painless and safe, even at the final stages of pregnancy. It can result in shorter labors—up to 25% shorter duration—and decreased likelihood of cesarean section in addition to better postpartum recovery.
Although it does not replace established medical procedures, it can be an excellent tool to promote a more comfortable, efficient, and less interventionist birth.
Pelvic evaluation: the chiropractor analyzes the alignment of the sacrum and sacroiliac joints, identifies subluxations (misalignments) and tension in pelvic muscles and ligaments
Specific adjustment: a manual adjustment or using tools (special tables, instrumentation) is performed to realign the pelvis without applying pressure to the uterus
Complementary work: the soft tissues around the uterus (ligaments, muscles) are relaxed to release tensions
During your first consultation, we will conduct a comprehensive assessment of your health, including a detailed analysis of your posture, mobility, and medical history. Based on this evaluation, we will choose the most appropriate and safe chiropractic technique for your case, with the objective of providing you with a personalized and effective treatment that suits your specific needs.
