What is the Webster’s Technique?

Webster's Technique is a specialized chiropractic adjustment method designed to address the unique needs of pregnant women. Developed by Dr. Larry Webster, this gentle and non-invasive approach focuses on sacral subluxation and pelvic imbalance, which can contribute to difficulties during pregnancy and childbirth.

The goal of Webster's Technique is to optimize pelvic neuro-biomechanics, provide greater comfort for the mother, and create an environment conducive to a smoother, safer delivery for both the mother and the baby.

This chiropractic approach aims to restore proper pelvic balance and function through a series of adjustments. By targeting the sacrum and supporting ligaments, tension and misalignments can be addressed, potentially reducing the likelihood of intrauterine constraint. This, in turn, may facilitate optimal fetal positioning, potentially lowering the risk of dystocia (difficult labor).

Through Webster's Technique, chiropractors seek to improve nerve system function, alleviate musculoskeletal stress, and enhance the body's innate ability to support a healthy pregnancy and childbirth process.

It's important to note that Webster's Technique is not intended to be a prenatal care substitute but is rather a complementary approach to support overall prenatal health and well-being. It is imperative for pregnant individuals to consult their obstetrician or midwife in conjunction with seeking chiropractic care, ensuring a comprehensive and integrated approach to maternal and fetal wellness.

Overall, Webster's Technique offers a holistic and conservative option for addressing pelvic and spinal imbalances during pregnancy, promoting greater comfort, and potentially contributing to an optimal environment for childbirth.
