Webster Technique in North Scottsdale

Pregnancy is a time of profound change, and your body deserves support every step of the way. At Elevate Chiropractic, we use the Webster Technique to support nervous system function and pelvic balance so your body can adapt, thrive, and prepare for the best possible birth experience.

Whether you’re planning for pregnancy, currently expecting, or seeking relief from pelvic discomfort, this gentle, research-backed approach is designed to help you feel more balanced, comfortable, and empowered.

What Is the Webster Technique?

The Webster Technique was developed to detect and address patterns of nervous system interference in the sacroiliac joints, pelvis, and hips. These areas play a vital role in nervous system communication and structural balance, particularly in the reproductive region.

This protocol focuses on restoring function to the lumbar spine, sacrum, and pelvis while supporting the nervous system’s ability to coordinate everything happening in that space. By promoting better balance, the Webster Technique creates a more spacious, relaxed environment in the pelvic and uterine area so your body and baby can move and adapt more naturally.

How It Supports You and Your Baby

Many people associate the Webster Technique with breech babies, but it doesn’t directly “turn” a baby. Instead, it works by improving the neurobiomechanics of the sacrum and pelvic region, reducing tension and imbalance that may limit space or movement.

When the nervous system communicates more clearly and the pelvis functions more efficiently, it supports an environment that gives your baby the best opportunity to move into an optimal position. This technique can also help with common discomforts such as pelvic pain, pubic symphysis discomfort, and lower back tension.

How many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions varies based on your individual needs and stage of pregnancy. Some patients come weekly throughout pregnancy for ongoing support, while others seek care for specific concerns like breech presentation or pelvic discomfort.
