Webster Technique & Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy
At Spine and Sports Centre, Dr Emma and Dr Emily are certified in the Webster Technique and are passionate about supporting women through every stage of pregnancy.
Pregnancy causes a range of physical and hormonal changes to the body. As your body changes to accommodate your growing baby, it is common to experience:
Lower back and pelvic pain
Pubic symphysis pain
Rib pain
Sciatica
Muscle tension and stiffness
Postpartum pain
Dr Emma and Dr Emily provide gentle, individualised pregnancy chiropractic care using the Webster Technique — a specific system of chiropractic analysis and treatment designed for pregnant patients.
What Is the Webster Technique and why is pelvic balance important?
The Webster Technique is a gentle chiropractic approach focused on the pelvis, sacrum, and surrounding muscles and ligaments.
During pregnancy, changes in posture, hormones, and pelvic mechanics can create tension and imbalance within the pelvis, contributing to discomfort, restriction, and increased physical stress on the body.
The Webster Technique aims to improve pelvic balance and reduce tension in the surrounding muscles and ligaments. Improving pelvic balance and mobility may help:
Reduce pain and discomfort
Improve movement and mobility
Support pelvic function during pregnancy
Create optimal environment for baby
Is Chiropractic Care Safe During Pregnancy?
Chiropractic care during pregnancy is generally considered safe when provided by a qualified chiropractor experienced in pregnancy care.
At Spine and Sports Centre, all chiropractic techniques and positions are modified appropriately for each patient’s stage of pregnancy, comfort, and individual needs. Adjustments are gentle, specific, and tailored to the individual.
We also use specialised pregnancy pillows to help patients remain comfortable and supported throughout appointments.
