Purpose of Chiropractic Care in Pregnancy
With the intent of supporting natural childbirth in the mid 1980’s, Larry Webster, DC, developed a chiropractic adjustment now called the Webster technique. The first and most significant observation of this adjustment was for women who were presenting breech during pregnancy. After they received the Webster adjustment, their babies turned head down. As a result, they were more likely to experience a natural childbirth that was safer and easier.
