What is Webster Technique?
The ICPA (International Chiropractic Pediatric Association) define Webster Technique as 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.
In other words, Webster technique is a tool used to establish mother's pelvic balance and alignment during pregnancy. When the pelvis is misaligned it may reduce the amount of room available for the baby. It also, may make it difficult for baby to get into the best possible position for birth. With a balanced pelvis and align spine, babies have a better chance of moving into the the correct position, facilitating the delivery. Optimal baby positioning at the time of birth also can eliminate the potential for dystocia (difficult labor) and therefore, results in a easier and safer delivery for both the mother and child.
If you are pregnant, or trying to get pregnant, having chiropractic care since day one dramatically improves body function and gives the mother and her child the best opportunity for improved health.
