Webster Technique

The Webster Technique is a pelvic adjustment for pregnant women that balance ligaments and pelvic muscles. Webster technique also involves analysis and light adjustment to a supporting pelvic ligament. It is a form of prenatal chiropractic care.

To improve common pelvic functioning during pregnancy, the Webster Technique is highly recommended. Treatment should begin in the first few months of pregnancy and continue no later than the 7th or 8th month. The Webster technique is a great benefit for mothers who are expecting.

If the tension in the uterus is absent, the baby has more room for movement.  Mothers who get the Webster Technique will be free of pelvic pain.  The nerve function may considerably improve and the birth canal can be maximized. 

The round ligaments are the ones that hold the uterus.  As the stomach becomes bigger, these ligaments become tight like a rubber band limiting the space in which the baby moves within the womb.  This causes sharp, intense pain in the pregnant women. The Webster Technique allows the baby to move comfortably to help both mom and baby feel better.
