The Webster Technique

In addition to providing spinal alignment and chiropractic adjustments for pregnant women, Dr. Rachel is certified in the Webster Technique. This specialized analysis and adjustment is designed to reduce the effects of sacral subluxation/SI joint dysfunction. Sacral subluxation is a condition in which the bottom portion of your spine and pelvis are slightly out of place. This misalignment can cause low back pain, sciatic nerve pain, stiffness, and muscle spasms. Sacral subluxation can also contribute to difficult or painful labor for some women.

When it was developed, the Webster Technique was created to provide room for breech babies to reposition themselves to a head-down position naturally. It was found that when the Webster Technique is used, in addition to avoiding C-sections for some breech babies, it effectively restores pelvic balance and function, relieves pain, and ensures the hips are in alignment for birth.
