Specialized chiropractic care to restore pelvic balance and reduce discomfort throughout pregnancy.
The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment protocol developed by Dr. Larry Webster, founder of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA), designed to reduce sacral joint dysfunction and balance pelvic muscles and ligaments in pregnant women.
The technique involves a precise adjustment of the sacrum combined with soft tissue release of the round ligament to reduce torsion and tension in the pelvis. It is widely used by chiropractors to support pelvic balance, comfort, and optimal function during pregnancy.
Webster Technique certification requires specific training in prenatal anatomy, biomechanics, and the specialized adjustment protocol through the ICPA — one of the leading organizations in chiropractic care for pregnant women and infants.
The Webster Technique restores proper alignment and balance to the sacrum and pelvis — reducing the tension and discomfort that commonly accompanies pregnancy-related pelvic changes.
Sacral joint dysfunction is a major driver of pregnancy-related low back and hip pain. Gentle correction often provides significant relief.
The SI joints are under increased stress during pregnancy due to hormonal ligament laxity. Webster adjustments help maintain proper SI joint mechanics.
The Webster Technique uses gentle, low-force adjustments specifically designed for pregnant patients — safe and comfortable throughout all stages of pregnancy.
Soft tissue work on the round ligament reduces tension that can cause uterine constraint and abdominal discomfort.
A balanced pelvis supports overall comfort, mobility, and well-being throughout pregnancy and into the postpartum period.
Yes. The Webster Technique is specifically designed for pregnant patients and uses gentle, modified adjustments that avoid any pressure on the abdomen. It is endorsed by the ICPA and used by chiropractors worldwide throughout all three trimesters.
Many patients begin care as early as the first trimester to maintain pelvic balance throughout pregnancy. It is particularly popular in the third trimester for addressing low back pain, round ligament discomfort, and pelvic pressure.
