The proper chiropractic care is essential to support the normal physiological function of the mother and baby throughout pregnancy and delivery. A healthy nervous system is important for the baby’s development and for a pleasant pregnancy experience. Chiropractic can even help during delivery. Ask Dr. Bronson about a full pregnancy plan.

Dr. Britton Bronson is certified in the Webster Technique for the treatment of pregnant women. What is the Webster Technique?

The Webster Technique is a gentle alignment of the pelvis, which includes soft tissue work on surrounding muscle groups. The process allows the pelvis to function properly during pregnancy and reduces soft tissue tension which helps the baby move, grow, and develop. Technically, 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 doing so, neuro-biomechanical function in the pelvis is facilitated.

Why is this important? Sacral subluxation may contribute to difficult labor for the mother (i.e., dystocia), caused by inadequate uterine function, pelvic contraction, and baby mal-presentation. Correction of sacral subluxation may have a positive effect on all of these causes of dystocia.
