Pregnancy Chiropractic Care

The Webster Technique is a specialized chiropractic adjustment aimed at reducing interference to the nervous system by correcting misalignments in the sacrum, a triangular bone located at the base of the spine. The Webster Technique is not a way to turn a breech baby but rather a method to promote optimal pelvic alignment and reduce uterine tension and surrounding ligaments. Our very own Dr. Matthew Blackmon is certified in this technique and offers this specialty service to expectant mothers.
