Webster Technique During Pregnancy To Help With Low back and Pelvic Pain

The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic adjustment method primarily used during pregnancy. It was developed by Dr. Larry Webster, founder of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA). The technique aims to reduce the effects of sacral/SI joint dysfunction.

Purpose: The main goal of the Webster Technique is to help improve pelvic alignment and function. It specifically focuses on the sacrum, which is the triangular bone at the base of the spine. This technique is to help with lower back, pubic and pelvic pain.

The gaol also is to help reduce or eliminate pain and discomfort (if any). Even if you dont have any pain, the webster technique will help the baby to have the best optimal position which will allow for an easier labor.

Pregnancy Focus: The goal is to facilitate proper pelvic alignment, reduce tension in surrounding muscles and ligaments, and potentially help with optimal fetal positioning.

Adjustment Technique: Chiropractors trained in the Webster Technique perform gentle adjustments to the sacrum and surrounding structures. The adjustments aim to restore balance to the pelvis and reduce any biomechanical dysfunction.

Non-Invasive: It is a non-invasive technique that involves palpation and specific mobilizations. The adjustments are gentle and typically well-tolerated by pregnant women.

Certification: Chiropractors who perform the Webster Technique usually undergo specialized training and certification through the ICPA or similar organizations that focus on pediatric and pregnancy chiropractic care.

Overall, the Webster Technique is considered by chiropractors as a supportive method for pregnant women seeking natural ways to potentially improve pelvic biomechanics and reduce discomfort associated with pregnancy. As with any medical or alternative therapy, it's essential for pregnant women to consult with healthcare providers to ensure safety and appropriateness for their individual circumstances.

Webster Technique is offered by Dr Jena Barnawi in both Dubai and Abu Dhab for treating low back pain or back related conditions during pregnancy.
