Natural Support for a Healthy, More Comfortable Pregnancy
Pregnancy brings structural and physical changes as your body adapts to a growing baby. Changes in posture and added stress on the spine and pelvis can contribute to discomfort and make everyday movement more difficult.
Chiropractic care offers a gentle, natural way to support movement and comfort throughout pregnancy. Dr. Kara tailors each adjustment to the patient’s stage of pregnancy, comfort, and individual findings. She also takes time to explain the process so expecting mothers know what to expect and can make informed decisions about their care.
What Is the Webster Technique?
The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and pregnancy-adapted adjustment focused on the sacrum, the joints connecting it to the pelvis, and pelvic function. It may include evaluating pelvic movement, a gentle low-force adjustment, and related soft-tissue work around the pelvis. Dr. Kara is certified in the technique through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association.
Why Is the Webster Technique Relevant During Pregnancy?
As posture and physical demands change during pregnancy, the goal is to support pelvic movement and comfort using care adapted to the pregnant patient. The Webster Technique is not a method for turning a baby, treating pregnancy complications, or guaranteeing an easier labor or birth.
