Why Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy?
Chiropractic offers a drug free approach to aches and pains associated with pregnancy.
It also helps the mothers pelvis to move correctly which may mean less nerve system stress for mother and baby.
Better mechanical function of the pelvis during pregnancy has been associated with easier, shorter births.
Proper movement of the spine allows for better expression of the nervous system.
What is the Webster Technique?
The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic adjustment that reduces nerve system stress, balances pelvic muscles and ligaments, and optimizes the mothers pelvic function in pregnancy and birth.

Maintaining normal pelvic movement is especially important to a pregnant woman because it may help decrease pain and allow mother and child normal function of the nervous system.
As Ina May Gaskin put it: "Your body is not a lemon"! Your body has an innate knowledge of how to bring a baby into this world. Chiropractic removes any nervous system interference so you body can operate in its own normal physiology.
