Gentle, Targeted Prenatal Care with the Webster Method in Westwood
During pregnancy, your body goes through major shifts in posture, alignment, and weight distribution, which can affect your comfort and your baby’s position. At Westwood Family Chiropractic, Drs. Jett and Cathy Gurman specialize in the Webster Method, a safe, gentle chiropractic technique specifically designed for pregnancy.
As an experienced Webster Method chiropractor in Westwood, we’re here to help you feel more comfortable, promote pelvic balance, and support an optimal environment for your baby’s development and positioning.
What Is the Webster Method?
The Webster Technique is a specialized chiropractic approach that focuses on aligning the pelvis and reducing stress in the surrounding ligaments and soft tissues. It’s most commonly used during pregnancy to relieve discomfort and encourage ideal fetal positioning.
This technique is gentle, non-invasive, and tailored to the unique needs of expectant mothers. Drs. Gurman are trained and experienced in using the Webster Method to help moms-to-be move through pregnancy with greater ease.
Why Is Pelvic Alignment So Important?
During pregnancy, changes in posture and ligament laxity (due to hormones like relaxin) can lead to pelvic imbalance. This can create tension in the uterus and make it harder for your baby to move into the best position for birth, sometimes resulting in a breech presentation or difficult labor.
The Webster Techniquecan help you:
- Improve pelvic and sacral alignment
- Reduce tension in the round ligaments and supporting structures
- Create more space and ease for the baby to move into an ideal position
- Relieve common pregnancy discomforts such as lower back pain, sciatica, and pelvic pressure
Who Can Benefit from the Webster Method?
This technique is especially beneficial for:
- Expectant mothers experiencing back or pelvic pain
- Those preparing for a VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean)
- Women with breech or transverse baby presentations
- Any mom-to-be seeking more comfort and balance during pregnancy
It’s safe to use throughout all stages of pregnancy and is most effective when started early, but even late-stage pregnancies can benefit from Webster care.
What to Expect During a Session
Your visit begins with a gentle evaluation of your posture, pelvic balance, and overall comfort. Drs. Gurman will then use the Webster Technique to make precise adjustments using hands-on care or instrument-assisted tools if needed.
These adjustments are performed with your safety and comfort in mind, using pregnancy-safe positioning and pillows to support your body throughout the session.
Most moms report feeling relaxed, more mobile, and less tense after their visits.
