What is the Webster Technique for Pregnancy?
The Webster Technique for pregnancy is a chiropractic technique specially designed to help alleviate pregnancy discomfort and allow baby plenty of room to move into optimal birthing position. The Webster technique is performed with gentle manual adjustments of the spine and pelvis and can leave mamas with HUGE feelings of relief.
During pregnancy, there is a lot of weight and pressure put on a woman’s pelvis due to her growing uterus. This pressure can cause the pelvis to become tight, which leaves less room for baby to turn. This tightness in the pelvis causes a higher chance of breech presentation, which can ultimately lead to painful labor or c-section.
At Bloom Well Chiropractic and Wellness, we want to provide a whole-body wellness experience for our prenatal patients. Keep reading to find out why the Webster technique is right for your body and baby.
