What You Avoid with Pregnancy Chiropractic

Once pregnant, you go through so many changes that it’s tough to keep up. Your structure, bones, muscles and the endocrine system all adapt to the new space that is being formed for your child.

Chiropractic care during pregnancy can help you keep a healthier body, reduce the effects of nausea, duration of labor, pain in the joints, neck and back, as well as reduce the possibility of a cesarean section.

The Webster Technique

This form of therapy designed by Larry Webster, who was the founder of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association, allows chiropractors to equalize the pressure in the pelvis, making birth a potentially easier experience.

Studies have found that even during a breech position in the 8th month of pregnancy, the Webster technique can succeed in reversing a baby. The Webster technique for women in pregnancy is supported by the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association.

The ideal behind the Webster technique is to allow women an easier time carrying their developing baby, and allowing baby a wider space to move and align to the best birthing position. Onset of back labor, a more difficult and painful form of contraction in which a majority of pressure is felt against the posterior during birth, is reduced using the Webster technique.
