Prenatal Chiropractic
Webster Technique
Specialized, gentle chiropractic care for expectant mothers — supporting a more comfortable pregnancy and preparing your body for delivery.
Safe & Gentle Care
Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy
Pregnancy brings incredible changes to your body — but those changes can also bring significant discomfort. As your baby grows, your center of gravity shifts, your ligaments loosen, and your spine and pelvis adapt to carry the extra weight. For many women, this leads to back pain, pelvic pain, sciatica, and other issues that can affect daily life.
At Path to Wellness Clinic of Chiropractic, Dr. Chitra Rajendran is Webster Technique Certified through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA). She provides gentle, specialized prenatal chiropractic care designed to support both mother and baby throughout every stage of pregnancy.
Specialized Approach
What Is the Webster Technique?
The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment designed to reduce the effects of sacral subluxation and sacroiliac joint dysfunction in pregnant women. By addressing misalignments and tension in the pelvis, the technique helps improve pelvic balance and function.
Through a series of gentle adjustments to the sacrum and surrounding ligaments, the Webster Technique creates optimal conditions for the baby to move into the best possible position for birth. This can lead to reduced discomfort for the mother and a smoother delivery process.
The technique is gentle, non-invasive, and safe for both mother and baby at any stage of pregnancy.
How We Help
Pregnancy Discomforts We Treat
As your body changes to accommodate your growing baby, a range of discomforts can develop. Here's what we most commonly treat.
Lower Back Pain
The most common pregnancy complaint. As your center of gravity shifts forward, the lower back compensates — leading to strain, stiffness, and pain that can worsen as pregnancy progresses.
Pelvic Pain
Hormonal changes loosen pelvic ligaments in preparation for delivery, which can lead to instability, pain, and difficulty with everyday movements like walking and standing.
Sciatica
Pressure on the sciatic nerve from pelvic and spinal changes can cause sharp, shooting pain down the leg. Chiropractic adjustments can relieve this nerve compression naturally.
Round Ligament Pain
Sharp, stabbing pain in the lower abdomen or groin area caused by stretching ligaments that support the uterus. Gentle pelvic adjustments and soft tissue work can provide significant relief.
Hip Pain
As the pelvis widens and ligaments stretch, many women experience hip pain — especially at night. Restoring proper pelvic alignment can ease pressure and improve sleep quality.
Postural Changes
Pregnancy shifts your posture significantly, leading to upper back tension, neck discomfort, and shoulder strain. Spinal adjustments help your body adapt more comfortably.
