PRENATAL & POSTNATAL CARE
Prenatal & Postnatal
Chiropractic Care
Care during and after pregnancy using the Webster Technique, as part of a broader plan for family wellness.
THE WEBSTER TECHNIQUE
A Gentle, Specific Approach
The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment used during pregnancy, focused on pelvic balance and alignment. Dr. Miller is certified in the Webster Technique. Pregnancy brings real changes to posture and balance as it progresses, and care is adapted to what’s comfortable and appropriate at each stage — first trimester, third trimester, and everywhere in between.
Postnatal care follows the same idea — supporting your body’s recovery after delivery, as posture and alignment continue to shift in the weeks and months after birth.
Why Pregnancy Changes How Your Body Feels
As pregnancy progresses, your center of gravity shifts forward, the low back curve typically increases, and the hormone relaxin loosens ligaments throughout the pelvis to prepare for delivery. Those changes are normal, but they’re also why low back pain, pelvic pain, round ligament pain, and sciatica-like symptoms are so common as pregnancy goes on. The Webster Technique is a specific analysis and light-force adjustment aimed at reducing tension and improving balance in the pelvis in response to those changes.
Some patients and practitioners associate a more balanced pelvis with an easier environment for the baby to move into a favorable position for birth, though this isn’t guaranteed and Webster Technique care isn’t a substitute for your OB or midwife’s prenatal care — it’s meant to work alongside it, not replace it.
After delivery, your body is still adjusting — realigning as ligaments tighten back up, and adapting to the new physical demands of holding, carrying, and nursing a baby. Postpartum visits address those changes the same way prenatal visits do: with an exam and a plan built around what you’re actually dealing with.
