What Is the Webster Technique?

The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and sacral adjustment developed by Dr. Larry Webster and certified through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA). It's designed exclusively for pregnancy.

Unlike a general chiropractic adjustment, it focuses specifically on the sacrum. When the sacrum is misaligned during pregnancy, it can create tension throughout the pelvis, affecting the ligaments that support your uterus and the space available for your baby to move and position.

Pelvic Balance

The combined effect creates symmetry throughout the pelvis — balanced muscles, ligaments, and space for baby.
