Webster Technique and Prenatal Chiropractic in Twin Falls
Your body changes quickly during pregnancy. As your baby grows, your pelvis, low back and hips carry new weight and loosen to prepare for birth. Prenatal chiropractic care and the Webster Technique are gentle ways to support pelvic balance and comfort through each trimester.
At Canyon Springs Chiropractic, every visit happens in a private room and is adapted to your stage of pregnancy.
What Is the Webster Technique?
The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and gentle adjustment focused on the sacrum and pelvis. Its goal is to improve pelvic alignment and reduce tension in the muscles and ligaments that support the pelvis.
A balanced pelvis can help you feel more comfortable as your pregnancy progresses. The technique uses light pressure and does not involve pressing on your belly.

- Low back pain and pelvic pressure

Is Chiropractic Care Safe During Pregnancy?
Chiropractic care during pregnancy is widely considered safe when it is adapted for pregnancy. We use pregnancy friendly positioning, supportive cushions, and gentle techniques with light force. We always recommend letting your OB or midwife know you are receiving chiropractic care, and we are happy to coordinate with your provider.
Please contact your OB or midwife right away (before a chiropractic visit) if you have vaginal bleeding, severe abdominal pain, sudden swelling, a severe headache or decreased baby movement.
