Chiropractic in Pregnancy

Chiropractic care during pregnancy offers a safe and effective approach to support the body's natural changes and promote optimal health for both mother and baby. Research studies have shown that chiropractic adjustments, especially when utilising techniques like the Webster Technique, can play a significant role in pregnancy wellness.

One study published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics (2002) explored the effects of chiropractic care, including the Webster Technique, on 17 pregnant women. The results indicated that after receiving chiropractic adjustments, 82% of the women had successful outcomes with breech presentations resolving. This suggests that chiropractic care, specifically the Webster Technique, can support a woman’s journey for a vaginal birth.

Another study in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine (2002) focused on the safety and effectiveness of the Webster Technique. It found that among 112 pregnant women who received the technique, 102 of them reported a resolution of their breech presentation. Moreover, the study highlighted the non-invasive nature of the Webster Technique, making it a valuable option for pregnant individuals seeking natural approaches to support their pregnancies.

Chiropractic care during pregnancy goes beyond addressing discomfort; it aims to optimise pelvic alignment, reduce nerve interference, and enhance overall well-being. By maintaining proper pelvic balance, pregnant individuals may experience reduced back pain, improved comfort, and potentially shorter labor durations. Additionally, chiropractic adjustments can support pelvic floor function, which is crucial for labor and postpartum recovery.
