If you’ve ever been for a chiropractic adjustment or have done any research regarding the benefits of chiropractic care, you’ve likely read about specialists who are trained in the Webster Technique. More specifically, if you’ve ever sought out chiropractic care during pregnancy, you’ve found yourself a Doctor of Chiropractic who is certified in the Webster Technique.

So, what is this Webster Technique? Good question.

The Webster technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and diversified adjustment. The goal of the adjustment is to reduce the effects of sacral subluxation/ SI joint dysfunction. In so doing neuro-biomechanical function in the pelvis is improved.

Discovered by Larry Webster, founder of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA), this technique was found to be a safe means to restore proper pelvic balance and function. A true lover of prenatal and female chiropractic care, Dr. Gena sought out Webster Technique training and certification to ensure that she’d be well prepared and qualified for the many pregnant clients that visit her office each day.

In short, the Webster Technique is a chiropractic practice that reestablishes the proper function of the pregnant female body to ensure a smoother birth experience. Often times, pregnant women seek out chiropractic treatment for general care of their bodies during pregnancy to maintain physical wellness, correct any back pain due to pregnancy, or as a means of assistance when carrying a breech baby in the third trimester. More and more obstetricians are referring their prenatal patients to Chiropractors trained in the Webster Technique these days as a natural means to care for the wellbeing of the developing fetus. If a baby is in a breech position, this could pose a challenge for a mother wishing to deliver naturally, and will most likely result in a ceasarean birth.

Speaking of being well-prepared, Dr. Gena is not only certified in the widely celebrated ICPA technique, her office is equipped with pregnancy-friendly tools and tables that adjust to the needs of any pregnant woman. As the pregnant body is delicate, Dr. Gena also practices techniques that allow for safe, gentle care, avoiding any unnecessary pressure on the abdominal region.  With her experienced touch and practice of guiding patients through each visit and adjustment, Dr. Gena has quickly become a favorite among expectant women.

Whether you’re thinking of becoming pregnant, just beginning to share the news, or just days away from your due date, chiropractic care at any point during your pregnancy is always a good idea. After all, your body is now taking on the role of creating another life – it’s imperative that you put your health first.
