Benefits to Receiving Pregnancy Chiropractic Care at Our Bluffton Facility
During pregnancy, our chiropractors work on both the pelvis and spine to promote balanced movement and alignment. Once the pelvis is in a balanced state, the ligaments connected to the uterus maintain a stable suspension for the uterus. Relieving tension not only improves the mother’s comfort but improves the comfort of the baby.
Prenatal Chiropractic Care & the Webster Technique
The Webster Technique is a specialized chiropractic approach used during pregnancy to help reduce spinal and pelvic subluxations and restore balance to the pelvis. This gentle technique focuses on specific chiropractic adjustments along with soft-tissue work to help relax and support key ligaments of the pelvic girdle.
By improving pelvic alignment and reducing tension in the surrounding muscles and ligaments, the Webster Technique helps relieve stress on the pelvis and lower back that commonly develops during pregnancy. Creating better balance in the pelvis may also support optimal fetal positioning by allowing the baby more room to move into a natural, head-down position.
Many expectant mothers choose prenatal chiropractic care with the Webster Technique to support comfort, mobility, and overall well-being throughout pregnancy and in preparation for childbirth.
