La Webster Technique It's a specialized chiropractic approach designed to optimize the alignment and function of the pelvis during pregnancy. Developed in 1978 by Dr. Larry Webster, founder of the International Pediatric Chiropractic Association (ICPA), this technique aims to improve pelvic biomechanics, which can facilitate a safer and more natural delivery.
The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment that focuses on correcting sacral subluxations and sacroiliac joint dysfunction. By restoring neuro-biomechanical balance in the sacro-pelvic region, nervous system function is improved and tension in the pelvic muscles and ligaments is reduced. This creates an optimal environment for the baby's development and promotes a fetal position suitable for delivery.
✅ Pelvic balance: By correcting misalignments in the pelvis, tension in muscles and ligaments is reduced, which facilitates a better position of the baby.
✅ Reducing discomfort: Many women experience relief from lower back pain, sciatica, and other common pregnancy discomforts.
✅ Facilitating childbirth: Optimal pelvic alignment can contribute to a smoother delivery process with fewer complications.
The Webster technique can raise a lot of questions, especially among those who aren't familiar with chiropractic. Here we answer some of the most common questions.
Yes, the Webster technique is completely safe for pregnant women. The chiropractors who practice it have received specialized training to work with pregnant women, ensuring that every adjustment is done safely and effectively.
It is advisable to begin with the Webster technique adjustments as soon as you know about the pregnancy. However, the benefits can be experienced at any stage of pregnancy.
The Webster technique is not a specific treatment for buttock delivery. However, by aligning the pelvis, you can create a more favorable environment for the baby to be placed in the optimal position for birth.
Importantly, the Webster Technique is a safe, non-invasive procedure designed to improve the well-being of both mother and baby throughout pregnancy. Chiropractors do not directly treat babies in a podalic presentation; on the other hand, by restoring balance in the maternal pelvis through specific adjustments, a better fetal position can be favored in a natural way.
