Our Comprehensive Approach
Creating Balance For Health and Comfort
Chiropractic care during pregnancy is a safe and effective way to relieve body aches and pains that come along with the physical changes of pregnancy. Our goal is to help you feel your best and achieve your goals for your health, and your birth. When our body feels better and moves better, it results in a more enjoyable preganancy and a more efficient birth process.
Our approach uses gentle chiropractic adjustments to joints to create better movement and reduce pain, soft tissue release techniques are used to address tension in the body, and therapeutic exercises strengthen and stabilize the body.
Webster Technique Certified
Dr. Correll is Webster Certified, What Does That Mean?
Dr. Correll underwent extra training and certification in chiropractic treatment for pregnant women. The Webster Technique is a method chiropractors use to assess the balance of the pelvis and correct abnormal function and motion fo the pelvis. This is especially important for pregnant women who have extra stress in their pelvis from the physical changes of pregnancy, and the importance of the pelvis during the birth process. If the pelvis is twisted or tight, it can cause pelvic pain, hip pain, and low back pain. It can also cause tension on the uterus and therefore affect the baby's position in the uterus.
During the Webster Technique, the joints of the pelvis are addressed in the back (sacroiliac joints), and in the front (pubic symphysis). Tight ligaments and muscle are released in the pelvis in the back of the pelvis (sacrotuberous ligament and piriformis muscles), and in the front (round ligaments and psoas muscles). When the pelvis is balanced, it can move well and perform at its best which makes birth more efficient. It can also reduce tension on the uterus so baby can get into an optimal position for birth. The Webster Technique is not used to turn breech babies and is not treating in-utero constraint.
