What Is the Webster Technique?
The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment commonly used in the chiropractic care of pregnant patients.
During pregnancy, a woman's body continually changes and adapts. As the baby grows, changes in posture, weight distribution, the pelvis, sacrum, and surrounding joints can influence the way the mother moves and how her musculoskeletal system functions.
The Webster Technique gives us a specific chiropractic approach for evaluating the sacrum and sacroiliac joints and addressing identified areas of joint dysfunction within the chiropractor's scope of practice.
Our focus is on the mother and her musculoskeletal and biomechanical function.
Webster Technique is not an obstetric procedure. We do not use Webster Technique to turn, reposition, or manipulate a baby, and chiropractic care does not replace appropriate prenatal or obstetric care.
How We Use Webster Technique
Every expecting mother who walks into our office is different. We don't believe prenatal chiropractic care should be a one-size-fits-all experience.
We begin by listening to the patient, discussing how her body has been adapting throughout pregnancy, and performing an appropriate chiropractic evaluation.
Depending upon the patient's examination and clinical findings, we may evaluate areas including the:
• Pelvis
• Sacrum
• Sacroiliac joints
• Lumbar spine
• Thoracic spine
• Cervical spine
• Other joints and musculoskeletal structures appropriate to chiropractic evaluation
When clinically appropriate, Webster Technique may be incorporated into the patient's individualized chiropractic care.
The purpose is not to force the body into a particular position or create a specific pregnancy outcome. Instead, our chiropractic care is directed toward identified musculoskeletal and joint dysfunction and supporting appropriate biomechanical function.
Why Pregnant Patients Seek Chiropractic Care
Pregnancy can place very different physical demands on the body than everyday life.
As pregnancy progresses, a mother's center of gravity and posture change. The way she stands, walks, sleeps, sits, and moves can change as well.
Our role as chiropractors is to evaluate these changes from a chiropractic and musculoskeletal perspective.
Patients may choose to see us because they want a chiropractor who understands the unique physical changes associated with pregnancy and who can modify chiropractic care appropriately as pregnancy progresses.
Rather than focusing only on where a patient is uncomfortable, we look at the patient as a whole from a chiropractic perspective—including movement, joint function, spinal and pelvic biomechanics, and the findings of the individual chiropractic examination.
Chiropractic Care Throughout Pregnancy
Prenatal chiropractic care can look different during the first trimester than it does during the final weeks of pregnancy.
As the mother's body changes, we modify positioning, techniques, and the overall approach to care when appropriate.
Our goal is to make each visit comfortable, individualized, and appropriate for the patient's stage of pregnancy.
We also believe prenatal chiropractic care should complement—not replace—the care being provided by the patient's obstetrician, midwife, or other qualified healthcare professionals.
Care Doesn't End After Pregnancy
The body continues to change after delivery.
That's why our focus on women's chiropractic care extends into the postpartum period.
Postpartum patients can receive an individualized chiropractic evaluation focused on the spine, pelvis, joints, movement, and musculoskeletal function as their bodies continue adapting after pregnancy and childbirth.
And as families grow, our practice also provides age-appropriate chiropractic care for infants and children.
A Focus on Women, Babies & Growing Families
Prenatal and pediatric chiropractic care isn't simply another service on our menu.
It is an important part of what we do.
We have intentionally created an environment where expecting mothers and families can receive individualized chiropractic care close to home while maintaining appropriate relationships with their OB/GYNs, midwives, pediatricians, and other healthcare professionals.
