Webster Technique in Pregnancy Care
Webster Technique is a chiropractic sacral assessment and gentle adjustment procedure. The goal of the adjustment is to reduce the effects sacroiliac joint dysfunction on the pelvis and surrounding soft tissues. This is coupled with the release of very specific pelvic ligaments and in doing so, neuro-biomechanical function in the pelvis is facilitated and improved.
Abnormal sacral alignment may contribute to pain and difficult labour leading to the potential of developing dystocia. Dystocia is caused by inadequate uterine function, pelvic contraction, and baby mal-presentation. Correction of sacral alignment may therefore have a positive effect on all of these causes of dystocia.
Webster Technique has become a familiar name in the pregnancy and birth conversation. Families are increasingly seeking out chiropractors who are proficient in Webster technique as a way to support a more comfortable, safer, and easier birth.
We have one Webster certified chiropractor and they are happy to discuss whether this technique is right for you.
