Webster Technique for Pregnancy
What is the Webster Technique?
Webster Technique is a system of evaluation and gentle chiropractic adjustment of the pregnant mother's pelvis, assessing the function of the joints, muscles, and ligaments. Any imbalance of the pelvis may lead to decreased mobility and increased pain complicating the birthing process. The Webster Technique is helpful in providing relief for common lower back pain and sciatic pains that pregnant women often experience.
​
Chiropractic care in pregnancy is vital to the normal function of both the mother and baby throughout pregnancy and birth. More women and birth providers are discovering the many benefits associated with chiropractic care in pregnancy including decreased birth times and less complications.
​
If you have any questions regarding pregnancy and chiropractic care, please reach out we are happy to discuss with you. Webster Technique is absolutely safe and gentle for mother and baby!
What does the Webster Technique Help With?
-> Back pain relief
-> Sciatica & leg pain relief
-> Pubic Symphysis pain relief
-> Sacral & Round ligament pain relief
-> ECV (External Cephalic Version) preparation
-> Pelvic alignment to support easier birth and optimal position of baby
​
The Webster technique can be done throughout pregnancy and is recommended regularly as the baby (and belly) grows. Due to the hormone relaxin, during pregnancy the ligaments and joints become more unstable which is why pregnant women often experience back pain, pubic pain, and leg pain. Chiropractic care during pregnancy supports the mother to have greater overall well-being and prevent complications.

"I came to her as I had back pain since my pregnancy a year ago.
She helped me understand what could be the root of this pain and how the spine works. Very interesting and helpful to understand how your body works!
After only a few sessions, I am feeling SO MUCH better in many ways, the 3 main improvements are :
- I don’t feel any back pain
- I don’t feel exhausted at all times like before (used to wake up already tired 😂 thought it was because of my baby but was because of my spine)
- I have endometriosis and used to feel extreme strong pain, every 2nd part of my cycle, had to take strong pain killers to keep going. The pain is totally gone (I almost can’t believe it!)
Don’t hesitate to start your journey with Dr. Amy for a better life!"

"I highly recommend Dr. Amy Hawthorne! I have been going to see her for a little while now for chiropractic adjustments and will continue to go regularly due to the service! My body feels more connected, my posture has improved and I'm even sleeping better. It has been so much more than just adjustments with Dr. Amy. She is teaching me and my body to naturally relax and heal itself as well as taking the time to show me mobility and stretches to improve my overall body movement. You'll be getting a holistic look at your body and spirit with Dr. Amy - highly recommended!"

" Dr. Amy is incredibly intuitive yet very grounded in the science of her craft. She conducted a thorough assessment at the first appointment and took a very detailed history. I went expecting changes to my physical body as I wanted to optimise my posture and prevent further injuries. We achieved this but unexpectedly, I felt the greatest changes were the subtle, energetic shifts in my nervous system. Under Dr. Amy’s careful
guidance, I experienced some very deep shifts in old trauma that were a big piece in my health puzzle. Having experienced a healing crisis before, Dr. Amy’s careful attention meant that she never pushed my healing too far in a session. . I feel there is so much power in a modality that harnesses the body’s innate ability to heal. Dr. Amy Hawthorne is a skilled, compassionate and dedicated practitioner in supporting healing from within. Thank you Dr. Amy, for your care."
