The Webster technique is a specific chiropractic sacral analysis and diversified adjustment. The goal of the adjustment is to reduce the effects of sacral subluxation/SI joint dysfunction. In so doing neuro-biomechanical function in the pelvis is facilitated” which allows for proper alignment of the pelvic girdle. Proper alignment of the pelvic girdle is crucial not only for the birthing process but also for the proper positioning of the baby in utero.

This is the MOST common question I get as a Webster Certified Chiropractor and the #1 reason why pregnant women seek my services.

YES we can help with optimizing baby's position.  

When receiving a Webster adjustment, we are simply removing misalignments in the pelvis which can cause torsion and undue stress to the surrounding ligaments and soft tissue making it difficult for baby to turn. No adjustment is done to the baby - only to the mother's pelvic bones. But by removing the misalignments and tension to the surrounding tissues, baby is then able to move freely therefor going from head up to the proper head down position. Please keep in mind that there are other reasons as to why a baby is breech that Chiropractic can not help with (i.e short umbilical cord, heart defects, uterus shape, etc.)
