Case Report

 

A woman in her 20’s, eighteen weeks pregnant, visited Connect Chiropractic.

Her chief complaint was low back pain on her right side and some numbness. She had visited two other chiropractic clinics before Dr. Kosuke saw her. The patient said the previous adjustments were actually just taps on her back from both of them. According to the chiropractors who adjusted her, “giving an adjustment to someone who pregnant is very difficult”. Dr. K totally agrees with this opinion; however, chiropractors can adjust a pregnant woman not only by “TAPPING”.

When Dr. K adjusts someone who is pregnant, he uses a pregnancy pillow, which the patient can lay down on their stomach even during pregnancy. Because of it, future moms will not give extra pressure to their babies. He also uses Webster Technique which is a specialized chiropractic adjustment designed for pregnant women.

After the patient got an adjustment at Connect Chiropractic the pain was gone! Dr. K gave some advices to prevent future pain and have a happy and healthy life.

 

 

What is the Webster Technique?

 

“The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic sacral analysis and diversified adjustment. The goal of the adjustment is to reduce the effects of sacral subluxation/ SI joint dysfunction. In doing so, neuro-biomechanical function in the pelvis is facilitated. Sacral subluxation may contribute to difficult labor for the mother (i.e., dystocia), caused by inadequate uterine function, pelvic contraction, and baby mal-presentation. Correction of sacral subluxation may have a positive effect on all of these causes of dystocia.”
