Safe, Gentle, & Effective: Why Every Pregnant Mom Should Know About the Webster Technique

Pregnancy is one of the most beautiful, transformative experiences of your life—but let’s be real, it also comes with its fair share of physical stress, discomfort, and worry. From back pain and sciatica to concerns about your baby’s position for birth, many moms are searching for natural, safe solutions.

That’s where the Webster Technique comes in.
It’s a chiropractic technique specifically designed and certified for use during pregnancy, offering a gentle and effective way to support your body through every trimester.

At Pinnacle Chiropractic, all of our doctors are Webster Technique certified and trained to help you experience a more comfortable pregnancy and a smoother delivery.

What Is the Webster Technique?

The Webster Technique is a gentle, nervous system-based chiropractic adjustment that focuses on aligning the pelvis and sacrum (tailbone), reducing tension in surrounding muscles and ligaments, and allowing your body—and baby—to function at their best.

How It Works:

✨ Drop table adjustments on your sacrum/tailbone and pubic bone (no twisting or pressure on your abdomen)


✨ Trigger point therapy on key muscles and ligaments:

  • Back: Sacrotuberous ligaments & piriformis muscles

  • Front: Round ligament of the uterus & psoas muscles

By reducing misalignments (called subluxations) and balancing tension, the Webster Technique supports optimal nervous system function—keeping stress off your uterus, pelvis, and spine.

How the Webster Technique Prepares You for Labor & Delivery

When your pelvis is properly aligned and your nervous system is functioning without interference, your body is in the best position to do what it’s naturally designed to do: birth your baby.

Benefits for Mom:

✅ Improved pelvic & sacral alignment


✅ Relief from back and sciatica pain


✅ Increased comfort & mobility throughout pregnancy


✅ Reduced stress & nervous system tension


✅ Better digestion & elimination (goodbye, constipation!)

Benefits for Baby:

👶 Improved oxygen & blood flow


👶 Increased space for growth and movement


👶 Better fetal positioning, especially for labor preparation

Studies have shown that moms receiving the Webster Technique experience:


📉 24% shorter labor & delivery times for first births


📉 40% shorter labor & delivery times for subsequent births

Why Moms Trust the Webster Technique During Pregnancy

We understand—seeking chiropractic care while pregnant can feel intimidating. Safety is your top priority, and it’s ours too.

Here’s why the Webster Technique is trusted by providers and moms alike:

🔒 No twisting or high-force adjustments—your abdomen and uterus are always protected


🔒 Designed for the unique biomechanics of pregnancy, focusing on gentle pelvic alignment


🔒 Performed on special pregnancy-safe tables so you can lie face down comfortably without pressure on your belly

After Dr. JJ worked on him just one time, he has been able to enjoy laying on his back more.
Dr JJ and the team did an incredible job with my baby boy. After he worked on him just one time, he has been able to enjoy laying on his back more, whereas before he would just HATE being on his back. My baby boy has reached a new level of ease! With less pressure to the nervous system. Even answering so many questions as a first time dad and giving advice for healthy development! Can’t wait to see how more he develops under care. Thank you to the Pinnacle team you are amazing!
