The Webster Technique is a chiropractic adjustment designed to help align a pregnant woman's pelvis and reduce intrauterine constraint, which may allow a breech baby to turn naturally into the head-down position. Here's how it works:
Assessment: The chiropractor assesses the alignment of the pelvis and sacrum, looking for any misalignments or restrictions.
Pelvic Adjustment: Gentle adjustments are made to the pelvis and sacrum to restore balance and improve function. This helps to create more space in the pelvic area.
Soft Tissue Release: The chiropractor may use specific techniques to release tension in the supporting muscles and ligaments around the pelvis, particularly the round ligaments.
Balancing: The technique aims to balance the mother's pelvis and reduce any torsion or twisting, which can create a more favorable environment for the baby to move into the head-down position.
Monitoring and Follow-up: Regular visits may be recommended to ensure the pelvis remains aligned and to monitor the baby's position.
The Webster Technique is safe and gentle, focusing on optimizing the mother's pelvic function to support a natural and healthy pregnancy and delivery. Many women have found it effective in encouraging their breech babies to turn naturally.
