Webster Technique certified prenatal chiropractic — safe, gentle relief from back pain, pelvic discomfort, and sciatica throughout every trimester.
Pregnancy is one of the most physically demanding experiences a body can go through. As your center of gravity shifts, your ligaments loosen, and your pelvis adapts to a growing baby, chiropractic care offers safe, effective support for the aches, pains, and postural changes that come with each trimester.
Dr. Johnston is certified in the Webster Technique — a specific chiropractic protocol developed for pregnant patients that focuses on restoring balance to the sacrum and pelvis, reducing tension in the round ligaments, and supporting optimal pelvic function throughout pregnancy.
Prenatal chiropractic is safe throughout all three trimesters and uses gentle, modified adjustments that avoid any pressure on the abdomen. We use specialized positioning and support to keep you comfortable at every stage.
The most common complaint during pregnancy. Hormonal ligament laxity combined with postural changes overloads the sacroiliac joints and lumbar spine — we address both the alignment and the muscle imbalances driving the pain.
The Webster Technique restores proper sacral alignment and reduces tension in the round ligament, creating a balanced pelvic environment and improving comfort throughout pregnancy.
Pregnancy-related sciatica — shooting pain, tingling, or numbness down the leg — responds well to chiropractic care that takes pressure off the nerve pathways.
Sharp abdominal or groin pain when moving quickly is often round ligament tension. Soft tissue release and gentle Webster adjustments provide significant relief.
Growing breasts and postural changes stress the upper back and neck from early in pregnancy. Gentle cervical and thoracic adjustments restore comfort and mobility.
The postpartum period brings its own set of demands — nursing posture, lifting, carrying. We continue supporting moms after delivery as the body works to return to its pre-pregnancy state.
Developed by Dr. Larry Webster, founder of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA), the Webster Technique is the gold standard in prenatal chiropractic care — used by chiropractors worldwide to support pelvic balance and comfort during pregnancy.
The technique combines a gentle sacral adjustment with soft tissue release of the round ligament to reduce pelvic torsion and create a more balanced uterine environment. It is gentle, safe, and specifically designed for pregnant patients at any stage of pregnancy.
Dr. Johnston completed his Webster Technique certification through the ICPA and brings both clinical skill and genuine care to every prenatal visit.
Yes. Prenatal chiropractic care is safe throughout all three trimesters. Techniques are adapted to your stage of pregnancy, and we use specialized positioning to keep you comfortable without any pressure on the abdomen.
Many patients begin in the first trimester to establish pelvic balance early. Others start when pain begins. There's no wrong time — the benefits are available at any stage.
It varies. Some patients come monthly throughout pregnancy; others come more frequently in the third trimester as postural demands increase. We'll recommend a schedule based on your specific needs and symptoms.
Absolutely. The postpartum period brings significant physical demands — nursing, carrying, sleep deprivation. Many patients continue care after delivery to support their recovery and adapt to the demands of new motherhood.
Dr. Johnston is Webster-certified and experienced in prenatal and postpartum care. Gentle, safe, and effective throughout your entire journey.
