Pregnancy Pain
- posted: Oct. 20, 2023
Your body goes through tremendous change when you are pregnant. Some of these changes can be painful. Your chiropractor can help relieve pregnancy-related pain, using a method known as the Webster technique.
What Is the Webster Technique?
The Webster technique is a series of gentle chiropractic adjustments designed to align the pelvis and release surrounding groups of muscles.
How the Webster Technique Can Help You and Your Baby
The Webster technique can help reduce tension in your soft tissues, allowing the growing baby more freedom to move and grow. The technique can also reduce or eliminate lower back and sciatica pain.
What Happens During the Webster Technique?
During your session, the chiropractor will reduce tension in the piriformis and gluteus muscles. Then, adjustment is done to align the sacrum and pelvis. The spine may also be adjusted. You will turn onto your back, so your chiropractor can examine the alignment of your pubic bone. As a final step, your chiropractor will work to reduce tension in ligaments and hip flexor muscles.
When You Should Visit Your Chiropractor for Relief of Pregnancy Pain
The Webster technique should be started as soon as possible after you become pregnant, but at least by the 32nd week of pregnancy.
How Often You Should Visit Your Chiropractor for the Webster Technique
The Webster technique may work within just a couple of visits, or within a couple of weeks. You should plan on visiting your chiropractor once each month during the first trimester, and every two to three weeks until the ninth month of your pregnancy. During the ninth month, weekly visits should occur until you have your baby.
