Webster technique

The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic adjustment used primarily during pregnancy to address sacral and pelvic misalignments. This technique is designed to optimize the position of the baby and improve the alignment of the pelvis, which can help alleviate discomfort, ease labor, and promote optimal fetal positioning.

The Webster Technique focuses on the following:

1. 1. Sacral and Pelvic Alignment: The chiropractor uses gentle adjustments to align the sacrum and pelvis, which can relieve tension in the ligaments and muscles surrounding the uterus.

2. 2. Reducing Tension in the Uterine Ligaments: The technique helps to reduce tension in the round ligaments, which can prevent the baby from being restricted in movement or from being in a breech position.

3. 3. Optimal Fetal Positioning: By improving pelvic alignment and reducing ligament tension, the technique encourages the baby to turn into the optimal position for birth (head-down or vertex position), especially if the baby is in a breech or posterior position.
