Webster Technique Chiropractor
Wheat Ridge, Colorado
Pregnancy asks a lot of your body, and it changes week to week. At Rooted Family Chiropractic, Dr. Amy is Webster certified and offers gentle prenatal chiropractic care in Wheat Ridge to support your comfort, your pelvic balance, and the room your baby needs to grow. Whether this is your first baby or your fourth, we'd love to walk alongside you.
What Is the Webster Technique?
The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment made for pregnancy. It focuses on balancing the pelvis and easing tension in the muscles and ligaments that hold it.
During Webster care, Dr. Amy gently adjusts the sacrum, tailbone, and pubic bone, and works with the piriformis, psoas, and round ligaments. When these areas are balanced, your pelvis may move more comfortably, and baby may have more room to settle into a good position for birth.
How Is It Different From a Regular Adjustment?
A regular chiropractic adjustment looks at your whole spine and the joints that need support. Webster care keeps that whole-body view, but it zooms in on your pelvis and the soft tissue around it, because that's where pregnancy puts so much of its load.
Everything is adapted to your changing body. We use a table and pillows made for pregnancy so there's room for your bump, and the pressure is light and specific. Nothing should feel forceful, and we check in with you the whole way through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is chiropractic care safe during pregnancy?
Chiropractic care is generally considered a gentle, low-risk option during pregnancy. Webster adjustments use light, specific pressure, and we adapt every visit to your body and how far along you are. We're happy to work alongside your OB or midwife, and if anything comes up that's outside our scope, we'll tell you.
How often should I come in?
It depends on your trimester and how you're feeling. Most moms come about once a month in the first trimester, every other week in the second, and weekly in the third. We'll build a plan that fits your schedule.
Can Webster help if my baby is breech?
Webster isn't a technique for turning babies. Its focus is pelvic balance. When your pelvis and the ligaments around it are balanced, your baby may have more room to move into a good position. If your baby is breech, keep your OB or midwife in the loop, and we'll gladly support you alongside them.
Do I need to be in pain to start?
Not at all. Many moms come in simply to support their bodies as they change and prepare for birth. Others come because something hurts. Either way, it's never too early or too late to start.
