Pregnancy causes weight gain and extra stress on the back, knees, hips, feet, and ankles. This leads to changes in posture, biomechanics, sleeping positions, and mobility. These changes can strain the body and cause pain.
Chiropractic care can help relieve this pain and improve overall well-being.
The Webster Technique is a type of chiropractic care that uses specific maneuvers to help alleviate pain and tension in the pelvis, low back, and hips. It helps the changing body feel more balanced.
In this article, we are going to discuss who webster certified chiropractors are and how they help ease your pregnancy.
What Is the Webster Technique?
Webster Technique identifies constraints on the sacrum, pelvis and ligaments that connect the uterus to the pelvis.
How Webster Technique Can Help Improve Pregnancy?
Scheduling treatment sessions with webster certified chiropractors can have multiple benefits for pregnant individuals including:
- Releasing Tension in the Muscles & Improving Range of Motion in the Lower Back
- Relieving Pain and Discomfort Caused by Sciatica & Pregnancy
Each of the Webster Technique health benefits is going to be explained more below.
Enhancing Joint Mobility & Reducing Tension in the Lower Back
With the additional weight gain during pregnancy, it is very common for the moms to feel more and more stiff in some of their joints as the body biomechanics change and movements lessen.
Working with a Webster certified chiropractor can assist in improving joint mobility in the hips, mid back and neck and to alleviate feelings of stiffness and pressure that come with pregnancy.
Easing Discomfort Caused by Sciatica & Pregnancy
Sciatica can develop from impingement of the sciatic nerve from surrounding muscles, ligaments and even joint restrictions. As the pelvis position changes during pregnancy, the sciatic nerve is also more likely to be involved.
Supporting the Body
The Webster Technique focuses on sacrum and pelvis alignment, assisting in improving ligament tension in those areas as well as the ligaments that connect the uterus to the sacrum.
