What is the Webster Technique?
Chiropractic care in pregnancy is vital to the normal physiological function of both the mother and baby throughout pregnancy and birth. More women and birth providers are discovering the many benefits associated with chiropractic care in pregnancy and recognize this area of expertise through Webster Certification.
The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic sacral analysis and diversified adjustment. The goal of the adjustment is to reduce the effects of sacral subluxation/ SI joint dysfunction. In doing so, neuro-biomechanical function in the pelvis is facilitated.
Sacral subluxation may contribute to difficult labor for the mother (i.e., dystocia), caused by inadequate uterine function, pelvic contraction, and baby mal-presentation. Correction of sacral subluxation may have a positive effect on all of these causes of dystocia.
Chiropractic does not turn breech babies. Chiropractic does, however, restore normal neurobiomechanics to the pelvis, thereby reducing unnecessary tension in the uterine and pelvic floor muscles so baby has more room to find the ideal position. When the body is well adjusted it works better…for both mom and baby.
The primary goal of Webster-certified practitioners, however, is to address misalignments (also called subluxations) to make more room in the pelvis. The hope is that freeing up space in this area also frees up space in the uterus, ultimately aiding with labor and delivery.
