Webster Technique

 

 

The Webster Technique, a specialized chiropractic technique designed to improve pelvic function and support the natural birthing process. This technique has become increasingly popular among expectant mothers seeking a safer, more comfortable pregnancy experience, as well as those looking for optimal pelvic balance in preparation for childbirth.

 

What Is the Webster Technique?

 

The Webster Technique is a chiropractic method specifically designed to address sacral and pelvic imbalances in pregnant women. By gently mobilizing the pelvis and its supporting structures, the technique helps to alleviate stress on the uterus and surrounding ligaments, providing an ideal environment for the baby’s development and positioning.

 

How Does the Webster Technique Work?

 

The Webster Technique focuses on:

 

• Sacral Alignment: By correcting misalignments in the sacrum, the technique helps to restore normal nerve function and reduce tension in the surrounding muscles and ligaments.

​

• Pelvic Balance: The technique aims to achieve optimal balance in the pelvis, which can help improve the baby’s positioning in preparation for birth.

​

• Ligament Tension Reduction: Specific adjustments are performed to reduce tension in the uterine ligaments, potentially decreasing intrauterine constraint and promoting proper fetal positioning.
