Webster Technique For Pelvic Balance – Baby Position

A few weeks ago we created a post that talked about the Webster Technique and how it can help moms have a more comfortable pregnancy.

Here are a few of the main points of that article.  

  • The Webster technique, a technique used by prenatal chiropractors is designed to correct imbalances in the pelvis.  This imbalance in the pelvis can cause mild stress on the uterus, allowing for less room for baby to move.   Correcting this imbalance will give baby more room to correct his position inside mom.
  • The Webster Technique also involves relaxing the round ligaments.  The tension on the uterus creates tightness in the round ligaments which connect the uterus to the pelvis, gentle manual release techniques help to relax those round ligaments to help the pelvis stay in a more normal position.
  • The Webster Technique is extremely gentle.  There is no discomfort with this technique.  Baby is always safe with the Webster Technique.  Also, correcting this imbalance could make labor and delivery easier.

Not-So-New Methods To Help Breech Pregnancy

You’re nearing the end of your pregnancy. The room is done, you’re excited about the new addition to soon arrive to your family. You’ve tried to do everything right to make sure that you have a healthy labor and delivery and new baby. The last thing on your mind is a breech pregnancy.

It’s nearing the end of your pregnancy. The nursery is ready and you’re excited about your family’s soon arriving addition. You’ve been careful to do everything to be sure that you have a healthy labor, delivery and new baby.
But at the visit with your Midwife, you find out that baby is in a breech position. Quite naturally, you begin to worry, because you understand that if the baby is not in the proper position, your delivery can be more difficult. Are you now required to opt for a C-section?

No one wants that.

Or when the ECV (external cephalic version) is recommended, you begin to feel anxiety because you have heard of the discomfort of physically moving baby into position.

But there is good news! 

The Webster technique developed quite some time ago, has given moms with breech pregnancies renewed hope for a safe, non-invasive way to help baby to turn. Pediatric trained chiropractic offices can perform the Webster technique, to help align the pelvis, allowing baby to move normally and eventually placing itself in the right head down position.

At Tompkins Family Chiropractic, we’ve been providing the Webster technique for the last 15 years. If you are dealing with a breech pregnancy, come to our office and we’ll be happy to help you to have a safe, healthy pregnancy and delivery.
