Webster Technique
can pregnant women see chiropractors?
During pregnancy, a woman’s body goes through many changes to support the growing baby. As the belly expands, the center of gravity shifts forward, putting extra strain on the lower back and pelvis. This can cause the spine to curve more than usual, leading to muscle tension and discomfort.
The sacroiliac (SI) joints, which connect the pelvis to the spine, also experience added stress. Hormonal changes relax the ligaments to prepare for childbirth, but this can lead to instability and misalignment. Many pregnant women feel this as pain in the lower back, hips, or buttocks, making movement more difficult.
Since the nervous system controls all body functions, including the baby’s development, proper alignment supports a healthier pregnancy. Chiropractic care can also improve circulation, digestion, and hormone balance, helping both mom and baby feel their best.

The Webster technique is a gentle chiropractic adjustment designed to help balance the pelvis and improve movement in the joints of the lower back. When the pelvis is misaligned, it can create tension in the surrounding muscles and ligaments, which may affect how the baby is positioned and how smoothly labor progresses.
By making precise adjustments, this technique helps reduce stress in the pelvis and lower back, allowing for better function of the nervous system and muscles. This may lead to a more comfortable pregnancy and could support an easier labor by giving the baby more space to move into the best position for birth..

Birth can be a physically demanding experience for both the mother and baby. During delivery, especially in long labors, C-sections, or assisted births (using forceps or vacuum extraction), a baby’s spine and nervous system can experience stress. Even in a smooth delivery, the pressure of passing through the birth canal can cause subtle misalignments in the spine, particularly in the neck and upper back.
These misalignments, known as subluxations, may affect the nervous system and lead to issues like difficulty latching, colic, reflux, irritability, or trouble sleeping. Since the nervous system controls all body functions, any interference can impact the baby’s ability to feed, sleep, and develop properly.
Gentle chiropractic adjustments help restore proper alignment, allowing the nervous system to function optimally. Chiropractic care for infants is very gentle, using light fingertip pressure to correct misalignments and promote balance.
Many parents notice improvements in their baby’s comfort, digestion, and overall well-being after an adjustment. This natural approach helps babies start life as healthy and happy as possible.
