Pregnancy Chiropractic Care & Webster Technique
Pregnancy Chiropractic Care
Pregnancy brings incredible changes to the body as it adapts to support a growing baby. These changes can place increased stress on the spine, pelvis, muscles, and ligaments, often leading to discomfort, lower back pain, pelvic pain, and sciatica. Chiropractic care can help support a healthier, more comfortable pregnancy by promoting proper movement and balance throughout the body.
The Webster Technique is a specialized chiropractic analysis and adjustment protocol designed specifically for pregnancy. It focuses on evaluating the alignment and function of the pelvis, sacrum, and surrounding muscles and ligaments. When the pelvis is balanced and moving properly, it can help reduce tension, improve comfort, and support the body's natural ability to adapt throughout pregnancy.
Many expectant mothers seek Webster Technique care to help relieve common pregnancy-related discomforts, improve pelvic mobility, and support overall wellness during pregnancy. The technique is gentle, specific, and tailored to the unique needs of both mother and baby.
At Balance Point Chiropractic & Wellness, we are passionate about supporting women throughout their pregnancy journey. Our goal is to help you feel your best, move more comfortably, and maintain optimal nervous system function as your body prepares for birth.
If you have questions about chiropractic care during pregnancy or would like to learn more about the Webster Technique, we would love to speak with you. Pregnancy chiropractic care is safe, gentle, and designed with both mother and baby in mind.
Benefits of the Webster Technique During Pregnancy
The Webster Technique may help support a healthier, more comfortable pregnancy by promoting proper pelvic balance and mobility. Many expectant mothers seek care for:
-
Relief from lower back pain
-
Relief from sciatica and leg discomfort
-
Reduced pubic symphysis pain
-
Relief from sacral and round ligament pain
-
Improved pelvic function and mobility
-
Preparation for procedures such as External Cephalic Version (ECV)
-
Support for optimal fetal positioning
-
Greater comfort and ease as pregnancy progresses
The Webster Technique can be performed safely throughout all stages of pregnancy and is often most beneficial when incorporated into regular prenatal chiropractic care. As your baby grows, your body undergoes significant physical changes. Pregnancy hormones, including relaxin, help prepare the body for birth by increasing ligament laxity and joint mobility. While this is a natural and necessary process, it can also contribute to pelvic instability, back pain, hip pain, and other common pregnancy-related discomforts.
Regular chiropractic care helps support proper spinal and pelvic function, reduce physical stress on the body, and promote overall well-being for both mother and baby. Our goal is to help you enjoy a more comfortable pregnancy while supporting your body's natural ability to adapt and prepare for birth.
Testimonials
Alexandra
"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."
