Benefits of Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy (And What the Webster Technique Is)

Pregnancy is a beautiful and transformative journey, but it often brings aches, pains, and physical changes that can feel overwhelming. At Align Chiropractic, we support expecting moms through every trimester with safe, gentle chiropractic care. Here’s why so many moms in Wichita trust us during pregnancy:

1. Natural Relief from Aches and Pains

As your belly grows, your center of gravity shifts. That added pressure on the spine and pelvis can cause low back pain, hip tension, and sciatica. Chiropractic adjustments help relieve pressure and restore balance.

2. Better Sleep and Energy

When your spine and nervous system are in alignment, your body can rest and recover more efficiently. Many moms notice improved sleep and more consistent energy levels.

3. Easier Labor and Delivery

This is where the Webster Technique comes in. It’s a specific chiropractic technique used during pregnancy to reduce tension in the pelvis and surrounding muscles and ligaments. A properly aligned pelvis allows baby to get into the best position for birth, which can make for a smoother delivery.

4. Support Through Every Trimester

From early nausea to third-trimester pressure, prenatal chiropractic care can help regulate your nervous system and keep you feeling more balanced and in tune with your body.

5. Support During the Fourth Trimester

Chiropractic care doesn’t stop after baby arrives. The postpartum period, often called the fourth trimester, is a crucial time for recovery. Gentle adjustments can help new moms heal from childbirth, relieve pelvic tension, support breastfeeding posture, and restore balance as your body adapts to caring for your little one.

Your body is doing something incredible. Chiropractic care honors that process and helps you move through it with more ease and less pain. If you’re expecting, we’d love to support you and your baby on this journey!
