Relief from Constipation During Pregnancy: The Role of Chiropractic Care Using the Webster Technique

No items found.
June 17, 2024

During pregnancy, many women experience constipation due to hormonal changes and the physical pressure of the growing uterus on the intestines. This common discomfort can significantly impact a woman's quality of life. However, chiropractic care, particularly using the Webster Technique, offers a safe and effective way to alleviate constipation. At Pinnacle Chiropractic in Lakewood Ranch, FL, our prenatal chiropractors specialize in this gentle approach, helping expectant mothers find relief and enjoy a healthier pregnancy.

Understanding Constipation During Pregnancy

Constipation is a frequent issue in pregnancy, affecting up to 40% of pregnant women. The increased levels of progesterone relax the muscles in the digestive tract, slowing down the movement of food and leading to constipation. Additionally, the expanding uterus can compress the intestines, exacerbating the problem. This can cause discomfort, bloating, and significant distress.

How Chiropractic Care Can Help

Chiropractic care during pregnancy focuses on maintaining a well-aligned spine and optimal pelvic balance, which can help the nervous system function at its best. Proper nerve function is crucial for regulating the muscles and organs involved in digestion. When the spine and pelvis are properly aligned, the gastrointestinal system can operate more efficiently, potentially easing the symptoms of constipation.

The Webster Technique Explained

The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic sacral analysis and adjustment that aims to enhance nerve system function in the pelvis, improve pelvic alignment, and reduce undue tension in the pelvic muscles and ligaments. Here’s how it can specifically aid in alleviating constipation during pregnancy:

  1. Enhanced Nervous System Function: By ensuring that the nerves governing the digestive organs are unimpeded, the Webster Technique can help restore optimal digestion and alleviate constipation.
  2. Improved Pelvic Alignment: Proper alignment of the pelvis can relieve any undue pressure on the intestines, allowing for better movement of waste through the colon.
  3. Reduced Tension in Pelvic Muscles: This technique also helps reduce tension in the muscles and ligaments in the pelvis, which can contribute to improved intestinal function.

I’ve now become a patient of theirs too, and I hope to start my other two children there as well
My 10 month old has been delayed on her gross motor skills. At her 6 month checkup, her pediatrician recommended she get evaluated for PT. In her case, I felt like she needed more that just PT to get caught up. I’ve heard so many people speak highly of chiropractic care for kids, I thought we’d give it a try. I can’t remember how I came across Pinnacle (might have been on Instagram because they have a lot of helpful posts). But anyway, I called and setup the first couple appointments for intake and scans. The entire staff is super friendly. Dr. Matt listened very well to what was going on with my daughter and we came up with 3 goals for her to hopefully meet with 9 weeks of adjustments (2x/week). The afternoon after her 2nd adjustment, she literally reached 2 of her goals. I almost couldn’t believe it. I realize it could have just been a coincidence but it’s just too close to happening right after the adjustments for me to assume that. She’s had about 10 adjustments total now, and she is catching up on other gross motor skills. Because she is a baby, her adjustments are quite gentle. There’s no cracking or popping involved. I’ve now become a patient of theirs too, and I hope to start my other two children there as well!
