Creating an Easier Labor and Delivery with Prenatal Chiropractic

The goal of prenatal chiropractic is to help pregnant women achieve a healthy and comfortable pregnancy and delivery. At Peak Potential Chiropractic we use the Gonstead Method paired with the Webster Technique to help moms create their best pregnancy, labor and delivery. Prenatal chiropractic can help women manage pain, improve range of motion, and promote overall well-being.

The Webster Technique is a specific prenatal technique that chiropractors can choose to get certified in. The Webster Technique is a gentle and effective way to balance the pelvis and reduce the risk of complications during pregnancy and childbirth. The idea of the Webster Technique is based on the idea that the pelvis must be free of structural shifts in order for the baby to be in the optimal position for birth. When the pelvis is out of balance, or has structural shifts, it can put pressure on the nerves and muscles that control the uterus and cervix. This can cause aches and pains in mom, make it difficult for the baby to move into the birthing canal, and can lead to other pains and complications during labor and delivery.

By using specific, gentle adjustments we can correct structural shifts in the pelvis. Adjustments are don’t by hand to apply gentle pressure to the specific areas of the pelvis that need to be adjusted. This can help to relieve pain, improve range of motion, and promote optimal fetal positioning.

There is a growing body of research that supports the use of the Webster Technique in pregnancy. One study found that women who received the Webster Technique during pregnancy had shorter labor times and were less likely to need unnecessary interventions. Another study found that the Webster Technique was effective in reducing pain and discomfort during pregnancy.

If you are pregnant and are looking for a safe and effective way to improve your pregnancy and childbirth experience, consider trying the prenatal chiropractic by a Webster Certified Chiropractor. The Webster Technique can be used throughout an entire pregnancy, but can most effective the earlier it’s started.

Here are some of the benefits of the Webster Technique:

• Decreased pelvic pain

• Improved range of motion in the pelvis

• Optimal fetal positioning

• Shorter labor times
