WEBSTER TECHNIQUE

Do you want to give your body the best opportunity to have a safe and healthy vaginal birth? Developed over 30 years ago by Dr. Larry Webster DC, the Webster Technique has been doing just that for countless women.

“The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic sacral analysis and diversified adjustment. The goal of the adjustment is to reduce the effects of sacral subluxation/ SI joint dysfunction. In doing so, neuro-biomechanical function in the pelvis is facilitated.”

Sacral subluxation may contribute to difficult labor for the mother (i.e., dystocia), caused by inadequate uterine function, pelvic contraction, and baby mal-presentation. Correction of sacral subluxation may have a positive effect on all of these causes of dystocia. According to the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics (2002), an 82% success rate is seen by Webster Technique Certified Chiropractors who work with mothers with babies presenting breech or transverse. The Webster Technique works best if administered as early as possible, as it typically takes several sessions to free subluxations and allow the mother’s nervous system start functioning fully. What could be more important than allowing your brain to fully communicate with your uterus during pregnancy. Starting the Webster technique early and often will give your body the best opportunity for the perfect birth.
