Webster and pregnancy related chiropractic care:

What is Webster Technique and what is it used for?

• Becoming a Webster provider requires an additional educational certification utilizing an analysis and manipulative technique on the pregnant mother to “…restore proper pelvic balance and function.”1

• “The obstetric literature has determined that correct positioning of the baby in-utero affect birth outcome and decrease the potential for undue stress to the baby's developing spine and nerve system. Obstetric literature has determined the importance of normal pelvic neuro-biomechanics including uterine function and pelvic alignment for the prevention of dystocia (difficult birth). It has also determined that correct positioning of the baby in-utero affects birth outcome and decreases the potential for undue stress to the baby's developing spine and nerve system. Chiropractic literature has determined the significance of sacral adjustments in normalizing pelvic neuro-biomechanics.”1

Can Webster Technique be used on the non-pregnant population?

• Yes, as Webster uses an analysis and technique related to pelvic dysfunction, it cannot only be used on pregnancy patients, but any potential patient with pelvic-based symptoms and dysfunction.1

Webster can be used for both pregnant and non-pregnant patients alike.
