If you are pregnant and experiencing back pain, pelvic discomfort, or round ligament pain, you may have heard about the Webster Technique. At Aspire Family Chiropractic in Waterford Township, MI, Dr. Paul Robinson is one of the only chiropractors in Oakland County certified in this specialised prenatal technique.
The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment designed for pregnant women. Developed by Dr. Larry Webster, it focuses on the sacrum and pelvis to reduce tension in the uterine and round ligaments, restore proper pelvic alignment, and create the most comfortable environment possible for both mother and baby throughout pregnancy.
Pregnant women visit Dr. Paul at Aspire for relief from lower back pain during pregnancy, pelvic pain and discomfort, round ligament pain, hip tightness, sciatica during pregnancy, and general postural discomfort caused by the baby's growing weight. Many patients notice significant improvement within just two or three sessions.
Yes. The Webster Technique uses gentle, low-force adjustments with no pressure applied to the abdomen at any point. It is safe throughout all stages of pregnancy when performed by a certified practitioner. Dr. Paul adapts his technique based on each patient's trimester, comfort level, and individual presentation.
Dr. Paul Robinson received his Webster Technique certification through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA), the certifying body recognised by the chiropractic profession for this specialisation. He graduated from Life University, one of the most respected chiropractic institutions in the United States, and has extensive hands-on experience treating expectant mothers at every stage of pregnancy.
Every pregnancy is different. Dr. Paul typically recommends monthly visits in the first trimester, bi-weekly visits in the second trimester, and weekly visits in the third trimester as the body undergoes its most significant postural changes. He will assess your specific situation at your first visit and tailor a schedule to what your body needs.
Q: Is the Webster Technique only for the third trimester? A: No. The Webster Technique is beneficial throughout all three trimesters. Earlier care helps the body adapt to postural changes as they develop, rather than waiting until pain becomes severe.
Q: Do I need a referral from my OB to see a Webster Technique chiropractor? A: No referral is needed. You can book directly with Dr. Paul Robinson at Aspire Family Chiropractic by calling (248) 877-6678.
Q: Will a Webster Technique adjustment hurt? A: No. The technique uses gentle, targeted pressure. Most patients find the adjustments deeply relieving, especially in the third trimester when pelvic discomfort is at its peak.
Q: Can chiropractic care help with baby positioning? A: The Webster Technique is not a medical procedure to turn babies, but by reducing tension in the uterine ligaments and optimising pelvic alignment, it creates the ideal physical environment for the baby to settle into the best possible position naturally.
