Prenatal Care

Webster Certified Prenatal Chiropractic

Pregnancy changes everything the pelvis does. When the pelvis is out of balance, the baby has less room to move and the body has more pain. We address the balance. Both Dr. Devin and Dr. Jeremy are Webster certified.

What the Webster Technique actually does

The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment for pregnant women. It focuses on the sacrum and the round ligaments of the uterus.

When the sacrum is misaligned, it creates tension in the round ligaments that attach to the uterus. That tension restricts the space the uterus has to expand and the baby has to move. Reducing that tension is the goal.

The adjustment itself is gentle. No pressure on the abdomen. No high-velocity thrusts. We use a specialized table with a drop-away section so you can lie face down comfortably at any stage of pregnancy.

Both Dr. Devin and Dr. Jeremy are certified in the Webster Technique through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA).

What we see most often

These are the most common reasons pregnant moms come in. Most have been told to just wait it out.

Pelvic and round ligament pain

As the pelvis shifts to accommodate a growing baby, ligament tension and sacroiliac joint stress are common. Specific adjustments reduce that tension without putting any pressure on the abdomen.

Sciatica during pregnancy

Sciatic nerve pain in pregnancy is usually driven by pelvic misalignment and the resulting pressure on the nerve. Addressing the alignment directly is often faster than waiting it out.

Breech and posterior positioning

Pelvic imbalance can restrict the space the baby has to move into an optimal position. The Webster Technique reduces that restriction. Many moms see positioning changes within a few visits.

Back pain and postural strain

The center of gravity shifts significantly during pregnancy. The spine and pelvis adapt, and that adaptation can create pain patterns that make sleep, walking, and daily activity harder.

Pubic symphysis pain (SPD)

Symphysis pubis dysfunction causes sharp pain at the front of the pelvis. It's driven by instability in the pelvic ring. Specific adjustments and soft tissue work can reduce that instability.

Preparation for labor

A well-aligned pelvis gives the baby more room to descend and the uterus more room to contract efficiently. Many moms who receive care throughout pregnancy report shorter, more manageable labors.

After Delivery

Postpartum care matters as much as prenatal

The pelvis, sacrum, and upper cervical spine go through significant stress during delivery. Even in uncomplicated births, the forces involved are substantial. The body needs help resetting.

We see postpartum moms as early as a few days after birth. The focus shifts to sacral and pelvic realignment, upper cervical assessment, and nervous system regulation as the body recovers.

If you're also bringing in a newborn, we can see you both in the same visit.

Questions before your first prenatal visit

What is the Webster Technique?

The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment for pregnant women. It focuses on the sacrum and the round ligaments of the uterus. The goal is to reduce pelvic tension and improve the baby's ability to move into an optimal position for birth. Both Dr. Devin and Dr. Jeremy are Webster certified.

Is chiropractic care safe during pregnancy?

Yes. The Webster Technique uses no high-velocity thrusts, no pressure on the abdomen, and no techniques that put the pregnancy at risk. We use a specialized adjusting table with a drop-away section for the abdomen so you can lie face down comfortably at any stage of pregnancy.

Can chiropractic care help with a breech baby?

It can help create the conditions for the baby to turn. The Webster Technique reduces pelvic tension that may be restricting the baby's movement. We don't manually turn the baby. We reduce the restriction so the baby has more room to move on its own. Many moms see positioning changes within a few visits.

When should I start prenatal chiropractic care?

Any time during pregnancy. Many moms start in the first trimester to get ahead of the postural changes that come later. Others come in specifically for pain relief or positioning concerns in the third trimester. There's no wrong time to start.

Do you also see postpartum moms?

Yes. The postpartum period is one of the most important times to get checked. The pelvis, sacrum, and upper cervical spine all go through significant stress during delivery. We see moms as early as a few days after birth.

What does a first prenatal visit look like?

We start with a full consultation where you tell us what's going on. Then we run the INSiGHT neurological scan, which is safe at any stage of pregnancy. We schedule a separate Report of Findings to walk you through what we found before recommending anything.
