Safe, Gentle, & Effective: Why Every Pregnant Mom Should Know About the Webster Technique

Pregnancy is one of the most beautiful, transformative experiences of your life—but let’s be real, it also comes with its fair share of physical stress, discomfort, and worry. From back pain and sciatica to concerns about your baby’s position for birth, many moms are searching for natural, safe solutions.

That’s where the Webster Technique comes in.
It’s a chiropractic technique specifically designed and certified for use during pregnancy, offering a gentle and effective way to support your body through every trimester.

At Pinnacle Chiropractic, all of our doctors are Webster Technique certified and trained to help you experience a more comfortable pregnancy and a smoother delivery.

What Is the Webster Technique?

The Webster Technique is a gentle, nervous system-based chiropractic adjustment that focuses on aligning the pelvis and sacrum (tailbone), reducing tension in surrounding muscles and ligaments, and allowing your body—and baby—to function at their best.

How It Works:

✨ Drop table adjustments on your sacrum/tailbone and pubic bone (no twisting or pressure on your abdomen)

‍
✨ Trigger point therapy on key muscles and ligaments:

• Back: Sacrotuberous ligaments & piriformis muscles
  
  
• Front: Round ligament of the uterus & psoas muscles
  
  

By reducing misalignments (called subluxations) and balancing tension, the Webster Technique supports optimal nervous system function—keeping stress off your uterus, pelvis, and spine.

How the Webster Technique Prepares You for Labor & Delivery

When your pelvis is properly aligned and your nervous system is functioning without interference, your body is in the best position to do what it’s naturally designed to do: birth your baby.
