The Webster Technique in Dayton

What is the Webster Technique?

Pregnancy adjustment

The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic sacral analysis and diversified adjustment. The goal of the adjustment is to reduce the effects of sacral subluxation/SI joint dysfunction. In doing so, neuro-biomechanical function in the pelvis is facilitated.”
International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA)

What does that mean? Normal alignment and function of the mother’s pelvis after Webster adjustments facilitates normal, natural birth positions.

  • Individual case management systems
  • Evidence-informed ways to best care for pregnant women
Webster certified doctors are also provided an in-depth view of birth and are equipped with the necessary skills and resources to support women who are seeking safer, natural births.

FAQs: The Webster Technique During Pregnancy

What is the Webster Technique?

It’s a specific chiropractic adjustment designed to support balance in the pelvis and ease tension in the surrounding ligaments. By reducing stress in these areas, the Webster Technique may improve comfort for the mother and create more room for the baby to move and grow.

Is the Webster Technique safe?

Yes. This gentle and safe chiropractic method is commonly used during pregnancy. No twisting or forceful movements are involved. Adjustments are always tailored to the unique needs of moms-to-be.

How can it help during pregnancy?

Many women notice relief from back pain, hip tightness, sciatica, and pelvic tension. By improving alignment and balance, the Webster Technique can also encourage optimal positioning for birth and make the birthing process smoother.

Does the Webster Technique turn breech babies?

Not directly. The focus is on reducing tension and restoring balance in the pelvis. With improved function and space, babies may naturally move into a head-down position on their own.

When should I start?

These adjustments can be beneficial at any stage of pregnancy. Some moms choose to begin early for overall comfort, while others start later to address specific concerns.

How often will I need visits?

That depends on your needs, health history, and stage of pregnancy. At Vital Health Wellness Center in Dayton, we’ll create a personalized plan that works best for you and your baby.

Do I need a referral?

No referral is necessary! You can schedule a consultation directly with our team to learn how the Webster Technique may help you enjoy a smoother, more comfortable pregnancy.

Helping Expecting Moms Have a Positive Birth Experience

The certification allows Dr. Goffe to better care for pregnant women who desire safer and smoother birth outcomes. “Over the years I have used the Webster Technique to assist many women in having a vaginal birth rather than riskier interventions such as Caesarian sections.”

We also see women whose babies are in the breech position. While the Webster Technique doesn’t specifically involve turning breech babies, it’s used to optimize the room and function in the mother’s pelvis. As a result, the baby can naturally go into a normal, head-down position.
