The Webster Technique
Chiropractic
care benefits all aspects of your body's ability to be healthy. This is
accomplished by working with the nervous system--the communication
system between your brain and body. Doctors of Chiropractic work to
correct spinal, pelvic and cranial misalignments (subluxations). When
misaligned, these structures create an imbalance in surrounding muscles
and ligaments. Additionally, the resulting nerve system stress may
affect the body's ability to function optimally.
Sacral misalignment causes the tightening and torsion
of specific pelvic muscles and ligaments. It is these tense muscles and
ligaments and their constraining effect on the uterus which prevents the
baby from comfortably assuming the best possible position for birth. The
Webster Technique is defined as a specific chiropractic analysis and
adjustment that reduces interference to the nerve system and facilitates
biomechanical balance in pelvic structures, muscles and ligaments. This
has been shown to reduce the effects of intrauterine constraint,
allowing the baby to get into the best possible position for birth.
Dr. Larry Webster, Founder of the International
Chiropractic Pediatric Association discovered this technique as a safe
means to restore proper pelvic balance and function for pregnant
mothers. In expectant mothers presenting breech, there has been a high
reported success rate of the baby turning to the normal vertex position.
This technique has been successfully used in women whose babies present
transverse and posterior as well. It has also successfully used with
twins. Any position of the baby other than ROA may indicate the presence
of sacral subluxation and therefore intrauterine constraint. At no time
should this technique be interpreted as an obstetric, "breech turning"
technique.
It is strongly recommended by the ICPA instructors of
this technique that this specific analysis and adjustment of the sacrum
be used throughout pregnancy, to detect imbalance and optimize pelvic
biomechanics in preparation for safer, easier births. Because of the
effect the chiropractic adjustment has on all body functions by reducing
nerve system stress, pregnant mothers should have their spines checked
regularly throughout pregnancy, optimizing health benefits for both the
mother and baby.
