What to Know About The Webster Technique

Pregnancy is an incredible journey, but let’s be honest, it can also come with its fair share of physical challenges. From low back pain and hip tightness to round ligament tension, your body is constantly adapting to the growth and position of your baby. That’s where the Webster Technique comes in. It’s a gentle, specific chiropractic approach designed to bring balance to the pelvis and support both mom and baby throughout pregnancy.

What Is the Webster Technique?

The Webster Technique is a specialized chiropractic analysis and adjustment that focuses on the alignment of the pelvis and surrounding soft tissues — including muscles, ligaments, and joints. When these structures are balanced, they create the ideal environment for your baby to grow, move, and prepare for birth.

There’s no cracking, popping, or twisting involved  just gentle, precise adjustments designed to restore motion and reduce tension.

When the pelvis moves freely, the nervous system functions optimally, and the baby has the space needed to assume a comfortable position in the womb. That’s why the Webster Technique has become so well-known in conversations about breech presentation and optimal fetal positioning though it’s not about “turning” a baby, it helps the body naturally make space for them to move.

Is Chiropractic Care Safe During Pregnancy?

Absolutely. The adjustments are tailored specifically for expectant mothers and performed using modified techniques and pregnancy-safe equipment.

Many moms report relief from:

• Lower back and hip pain

• Sciatic discomfort

• Round ligament tension

• Pubic bone pain (SPD)

• General pressure and tightness as the belly grows

And because chiropractic care helps improve nervous system function, it often contributes to better sleep, improved energy, and reduced stress — three things every pregnant woman deserves more of!

Pregnancy is a season of transformation — physically, emotionally, and neurologically. Gentle chiropractic care can make all the difference in how your body experiences that transformation.
