How does chiropractic help with Pregnancy Aches?
Chiropractic Can Help Moms:
- have a comfortable pregnancy with less pain
- sleep better and handle stress more effectively
- assist for an easier labor and delivery
- stay active before, during and after pregnancy to boost energy levels
- have optimal pelvic positioning using the Webster Technique, potentially avoiding a breech positioning, cesarean birth or external version
The Webster In-Utero Constraint Technique, also called the Webster Technique, is used in chiropractic to balance the pelvis properly, while reducing the stress on the ligaments that support the uterus.
The round ligaments that hold the uterus in place within the abdomen can become thin and tight. This sometimes causes sharp pains and restricts the space that baby has to maneuver within the womb. This restricted movement often causes a baby to stay in a breech position beyond 37 weeks. A certified Webster practitioner can use this specific technique to properly align the pelvis and sacrum, relieve the tightness in the round ligaments and abdomen. This will allow the baby to shift freely within the womb and they will usually settle into the proper birthing position.
