Support your Body’s Natural Process with Webster’s Certified Prenatal Chiropractic Care

You are Naturally Designed to Birth your Baby

As an expecting mother, your body is undergoing an entire transformation. As intense as it may feel, it is important to remember that your body is strong, resilient, and fully capable of childbirth. You are naturally designed to birth your baby. Prenatal chiropractic care is intended to support your body’s natural process throughout your pregnancy. It helps create an overall smooth, safe and fulfilling birthing experience for both you and your baby.

Chiropractic care during pregnancy is designed to be a comfortable experience. Here at Well Family Chiropractic, we utilize a special table and props that support you and the baby throughout your adjustment. Our care is very gentle and specific, ensuring a comfortable and relaxed adjustment.

Our adjustments will help keep the structure of your hips and spine balanced during your pregnancy and birth. They enable your body to function at its best before, during, and after pregnancy. As your body functions better, so does your growing baby. Prenatal chiropractic care will help both you and your baby to be more comfortable and healthy during pregnancy, and will optimize your baby’s birthing position.

Additionally, there is a neurological component to prenatal chiropractic care. Not only does it help your physical body and structure, but it also helps your nervous system to function more smoothly, giving your baby the best environment to grow in. All our doctors are certified in the Webster Technique, which encapsulates a full range of healing for your body, your nervous system, and your baby. It helps to minimize low back and hip pain, encourage optimal alignment of your spine, aid in relaxing your system, and helps to create the best space for your baby to maneuver.

What is the Webster Technique?

The Webster technique is a gentle chiropractic method that promotes optimal pelvic function and alignment for pregnant women. The adjustment is designed to help to reduce soft tissue tension and relieve ligament stress. This allows more room for your baby to move around in the uterus.

Not only does the Webster Technique provide an ideal growing environment for your baby, it also helps provide relief for lower back and sciatic pain that is very common for pregnant mamas. Although there are many benefits of the technique, it is commonly admired for its ability to enable the baby to maneuver into the proper birthing position, as well as provide a sense of relief for mama, encouraging a more comfortable, safe, and relaxing pregnancy and birth.

I started coming to Dr. Lauren when I was 30 weeks pregnant and it changed everything! She helped me feel so much better! Since then I’ve been continuing to come and get her help keeping my body in tip top shape! I’ve now seen her (and now Dr. Hannah) through 2 pregnancies and cannot say enough good things! My second pregnancy was so much more comfortable and I am so grateful to well family. Cannot recommend enough!  – Maddie R.

Webster Technique Benefits:

  • Supports optimal positioning of your baby for birth. The Webster Technique supports your body’s natural process of helping your baby assume a head-down position by properly aligning your sacrum and pelvis.
  • Maximizes baby’s space in your uterus. The Webster’s Technique relieves tension and adjusts the structure of your pelvis and sacrum, allowing for maximum space for your baby to move more freely and re-orient themselves into an ideal birthing position.
  • Easier labor with fewer interventions. In studies, mom’s who received Webster Technique chiropractic adjustments throughout their pregnancy experienced a 25-31% reduction in average labor time. It also reduced the need for Cesarean sections, epidurals, episiotomies, vacuum extractions, forceps, and other birth interventions.
  • Proper development and function of the nervous system. Your nervous system is the highest form of communication, connecting all systems within the body, including your reproductive system. The Webster Technique relieves tension and blockages, and helps promote healthy communication from the nervous system to the rest of your body.
  • A more comfortable pregnancy. The Webster Technique encourages a balanced nervous system, spinal cord alignment and optimal position of sacrum, pelvis and hips. It helps relieves neck, back and joint pain, increases oxygen and blood flow, reduces nausea, minimizes pain during labor, and can even help with recovery and a reduction in postpartum depression.

Webster Technique Certification

Our prenatal chiropractors are certified in the Webster Technique through the ICPA (International Chiropractic Pediatric Association). Founded by Dr. Larry Webster in 1986, the ICPA’s mission is to establish and advance the chiropractic family lifestyle by engaging and serving family chiropractors worldwide through evidence-informed practice, supporting excellence in professional skills, and delivering educational resources for family well-being. Dr. Larry Webster also developed the Webster technique to help correct pelvic imbalances, and help women achieve optimal baby positioning.

Dr. Webster’s technique and certification program remains true to its core as it teaches a very specific sacral analysis and adjustment used throughout pregnancy to reduce the effects of sacral subluxation as well as support the numerous benefits the adjustment has to offer women of all ages.

Dr. Lauren has been a blessing to our family. I began seeing her during my first pregnancy when I was experiencing a lot of back pain and also seeking a Webster Technique certified chiropractor. She is amazing and I noticed a difference right away. My back pain subsided and it felt like the baby had more room to move. Since then, she has been providing chiropractic care to me and both of my girls (who started seeing her at just a few weeks old). We all love going to her office – the atmosphere is fun, joyful and supportive. I always feel great after my adjustments and I notice a huge difference in my girls. – Lora E.
