What Is the Webster Technique?

The Webster Technique is a specialized chiropractic analysis and adjustment commonly used during pregnancy to help improve pelvic balance, alignment, and nervous system function.

The technique was developed by Larry Webster and is taught through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA).

At Full Bloom Chiropractic, Dr. Ryan Gutierrez is Webster Certified through the ICPA and provides gentle prenatal chiropractic care for expecting mothers throughout Saint Augustine, St. Johns, World Golf Village, Jacksonville, and surrounding Northeast Florida communities.

What Does the Webster Technique Focus On?

The Webster Technique focuses on:

• Pelvic alignment and balance

• Sacral function and mobility

• Reducing tension in surrounding muscles and ligaments

• Supporting optimal biomechanics during pregnancy

As the body changes throughout pregnancy, posture, weight distribution, and pelvic mechanics can shift significantly. These changes may contribute to:

• Lower back pain

• Hip discomfort

• Pelvic tension

• Sciatica

• Difficulty getting comfortable

The Webster Technique is designed to help improve comfort and mobility by addressing pelvic imbalance and restricted motion.

Does the Webster Technique Turn Babies?

No. Chiropractors do not “turn babies.”

The Webster Technique is not a breech-turning technique. Instead, it is a chiropractic assessment and adjustment focused on improving pelvic balance and function.

By improving pelvic alignment and reducing tension within the pelvis and surrounding structures, the body may function more comfortably and efficiently during pregnancy.
