The Webster Technique: Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy

During pregnancy, there are many physiological and hormonal changes that occur  in preparation for creating an environment for a developing baby.   A protruding abdomen, increased low back  curvature, and postural adaptations often result in misaligned spine or joints.

What are the benefits of chiropractic care during pregnancy?

• Reducing the time of labor and delivery
• Relieving back, neck or joint pain
• Controlling symptoms of nausea
• Maintaining a healthier pregnancy
• Prevent a potential cesarean section

What about chiropractic & breech deliveries?

When the pelvis is misaligned it may reduce the amount of room available for the developing baby, called intrauterine constraint. A misaligned pelvis makes it difficult for the baby to get into the best possible position for delivery.

The Webster Technique, having an 82% success rate, is a specific adjustment that enables chiropractors to establish balance in the pelvis and reduce undue stress to the uterus and supporting ligaments. This balanced state in the pelvis makes it easier for a breech baby to turn naturally. Optimal baby positioning at the time of birth also eliminates the potential for difficult labor and therefore results in easier and safer deliveries for both the mother and baby.  Dr. Lara Klein of the Neenah Schubbe Resch office is a certified Webster Technique provider.
