Webster Technique
What is the Webster Technique?
The Webster Technique is a specialized chiropractic method designed specifically for pregnant individuals. It focuses on assessing and addressing misalignments and tension in the pelvis, sacrum, and surrounding soft tissues that may interfere with pelvic balance and neurological function. By enhancing neuro-biomechanical function of the pelvis, this technique helps support a more comfortable pregnancy and birth.
Why Choose Webster Technique During Pregnancy?
- Pelvic Balance – Helps maintain alignment and ease tension that may affect comfort or fetal position.
- Reduced Discomfort – Eases pregnancy-related back pain, SI dysfunction, hip tightness, piriformis/psoas tightness, or round ligament tension.
- Improved Function – Supports nervous system communication and muscle coordination.
- Enhanced Birth Prep – May promote ideal conditions for labor and delivery
Is Webster Technique Safe?
Yes. The Webster Technique is a gentle, non-invasive chiropractic adjustment tailored to the needs of pregnant individuals. Chiropractors certified in this method undergo specific training to ensure safety, comfort, and effectiveness throughout all stages of pregnancy.
Note: This technique does not turn babies or directly manipulate fetal position — rather, it creates a more balanced environment in the pelvis that may facilitate optimal fetal positioning.
