WHAT IS A WEBSTER CERTIFIED CHIROPRACTOR IN COLORADO SPRINGS

What is the Webster Technique?

Chiropractic care during pregnancy in Colorado Springs is incredibly vital to the normal physiological function of both mommy and baby during pregnancy and throughout the birthing process. The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic sacral analysis and specific adjustment. The goal of the adjustment is to reduce the effects of sacral subluxation/ SI joint dysfunction. In doing so, neuro-biomechanical function in the pelvis is facilitated.

The technique was developed by Dr. Larry Webster in response to the birth of his granddaughter. Dr. Webster was present at her long and arduous birth. He recognized that chiropractors could have a bigger impact on labor when there was a specific approach to the pelvis. He began to develop the Webster Technique for laboring women to help with the ease of birth.

Shortly after teaching other doctors his method of adjusting, chiropractors under his training reported significant changes in the labors of the women they treated with the Webster Technique as opposed to patients who did not undergo the Webster treatment.

What are the benefits of the Webster Technique during pregnancy in Colorado Springs?

When you have a sacral subluxation, it can cause an imbalance between the pelvis and the uterine ligaments. This can contribute to discomfort during pregnancy, but also cause issues with pelvic positioning, in turn leading to difficult labor for both the mother and the baby. A subluxation of this form can also lead to inadequate uterine function, pelvic contraction, and baby mal-presentation.

Because correct positioning of your sacrum and pelvis is so viral during pregnancy, it is even more important for your Colorado Springs chiropractor to be Webster-certified. By correcting a sacral subluxation throughout pregnancy, research has proven that it can have a positive effect on the causes of dystocia. According to the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics (2002), an 82% success rate is seen by Webster Technique Certified Chiropractors who work with mothers with babies presenting breech or transverse. Another added benefit of utilizing this technique during pregnancy is a greater chance of your child being in a proper position for childbirth.
