The Webster Technique and Natural Pregnancy | Prenatal Chiropractor in Columbus, OH
Hi everyone, I’m Dr. Marisa Marquis from Restore Family Chiropractic. Today, I want to discuss a specific technique we use here at the clinic called the Webster Technique. This may be familiar to some of you, especially if you were referred to us for assistance with baby positioning during pregnancy.
Understanding the Webster Technique
The Webster Technique is a specialized chiropractic method designed to balance your pelvis and spine along with the surrounding muscles and ligaments. Let’s visualize the structure we’re talking about: the baby resides within the uterus, which is anchored to the pelvic area through various ligaments and muscles. If the spine or pelvis is misaligned, it can cause uneven tension and pressure on these muscles and ligaments. This distortion can pull on the uterus itself, potentially impacting the space available for the baby to move into the optimal head-down position for birth.
Benefits of the Webster Technique
This technique specifically targets and adjusts the sacrum, pelvis, and spinal bones, as well as the supporting ligaments and muscles around the pelvic area. By restoring balance, it opens up the space needed for the baby to ideally position itself. Many pregnant women report feeling more comfortable during pregnancy after receiving adjustments with the Webster Technique. They often experience easier movement, better alignment, and improved sleep. Importantly, this technique can also facilitate a smoother and quicker labor and delivery by allowing the baby to engage properly.
If you have any questions about the Webster Technique or wish to learn more about how it can benefit your pregnancy, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We’re here to support you throughout your pregnancy journey and look forward to helping you achieve a comfortable and healthy pregnancy. Take care, and see you soon!
