“Chiropractic care in pregnancy is vital to the normal physiological function of both the mother and baby in pregnancy and birth.”
Pregnancy and Natural Fertility
The Webster Technique
The Webster Technique, specifically balances the pregnant woman’s pelvis, allowing for proper movement for the baby to obtain the optimal head down position. Keeping the body, especially the pelvis, balanced throughout pregnancy is beneficial to both mother and baby. As a woman progresses throughout pregnancy, she will experience changes in her posture and body mechanics due to her growing belly. In addition to these physical changes, she will also have an increased amount of relaxin hormone, which causes a laxity in her ligaments. This is to prepare her body for delivery, but also subjects her to be more likely to obtain vertebral subluxations and mis-positions of her pelvis, even with simple movements.
