Supporting your pregnancy, naturally.

Pregnancy places enormous demands on the spine, pelvis, and nervous system. Prenatal chiropractic care helps your body adapt to those changes — reducing discomfort, improving pelvic alignment, and creating the best possible environment for your growing baby.

Dr. Anna is Webster Technique certified, a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment designed to reduce the effects of sacral subluxation and SI joint dysfunction. When the pelvis is balanced, babies have more room to move into an optimal birth position.

Safe throughout all trimesters

We use a supportive pregnancy pillow and adapt your positioning for comfort throughout your visit. All techniques are modified specifically for expectant mothers. Many patients begin care in their first trimester and continue through to delivery.

Relieve the strain of a shifting center of gravity and loosening ligaments.

Optimal Fetal Positioning

Webster Technique supports a balanced pelvis for better fetal positioning.

Shorter Labor

Studies suggest regular prenatal chiropractic care may reduce labor duration.

Less Round Ligament Pain

Webster Technique

What is the Webster Pregnancy Technique?

The Webster Pregnancy Technique is performed by a Doctor of Chiropractic certified in this special technique. It is a safe and gentle chiropractic technique that helps to correct spinal and sacral misalignment and balance pelvic muscles and ligaments.

These corrections allow for a reduction of torsion on the mother's uterus, allowing for reduced constraint on the growing baby and facilitating proper birthing positions.

As noted on the ICPA website: “The Webster technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and diversified adjustment. The goal of the adjustment is to reduce the effects of subluxation and/or SI joint dysfunction. In so doing neurobiomechanical function in the sacral/pelvic region is improved.”

  • →Relief of neck, back, and joint pain commonly felt during pregnancy
  • →Pregnancy-induced sciatica relief
  • →Muscular pain and spasm reduction
  • →Improved flexibility and strength
  • →Reduced labor and delivery times, pain, and complications
  • →Reduced risk of cesarean births
  • →Facilitation of optimal fetal positioning — including breech presentations

Women from all stages of pregnancy can benefit from the Webster Technique, allowing for improved overall function of the pelvis, uterus and ligaments. Fetal repositioning has been reported by many patients after Webster adjustments, facilitating more natural births.

Common Questions

Prenatal chiropractic FAQ

Is chiropractic safe during pregnancy?

Yes. Prenatal chiropractic is widely considered safe throughout pregnancy. Dr. Anna is Webster certified and trained in pregnancy-specific modifications. We use a supportive pregnancy pillow and adapt your positioning for comfort throughout your visit.

When should I start prenatal chiropractic care?

Any trimester is a good time to start, though many mothers find the most benefit when beginning in the first or second trimester. Even starting in the third trimester can help with fetal positioning ahead of delivery.

How often will I need to come in?

That depends on your body and goals. Many expectant mothers come every 2–4 weeks; those with more discomfort or positioning concerns may benefit from more frequent visits. Dr. Anna will build a plan tailored to you.

Do you also see postpartum patients?

Absolutely. The postpartum body needs as much care as the pregnant one. We see new mothers for postpartum recovery and can also assess your newborn — many families schedule both in the same visit.
