The Webster Technique & Tonal Assessment
Gentle Prenatal Chiropractic
Dr. Sulack has practiced a gentle and low-force technique for prenatal chiropractic care for 19 years. He has joined a Tonal Technique (Torque Release Technique with the Integrator) with a well known prenatal technique called Webster Technique.
Often, the pelvic bones become misaligned during pregnancy (often years before pregnancy) and create muscle spasm and pain. More significant than pain is the mechanical strain this can put on the mother and fetus. When the muscles in the pelvic floor are not able to relax - the developing fetus is not able to move efficiently - sometime resulting in a breech position.
Dr. Sulack's experience allows him to diagnose and treat this condition and see the fetus move out of breach presentation - into a correct birthing position.
Some mother's have noticed their baby start moving, after an adjustment, by the time they check out at our front desk.
The Webster Technique Helps the Mother:
- Maintain proper pelvic alignment.
- Avoid pinched nerves in pelvis and low back.
- Reduce muscle spasm.
- Prevent back-labor.
- Avoid/correct breech presentation.
The Webster Technique Helps the Baby (Fetus):
- Develop with less pressure on cranial, spinal and skeletal structures.
- Avoid misalignments caused by limited space and movement in the uterus.
- Maintain a proper position to be ready for delivery.
- Avoid the increased stress of a delivery with complications.
Case Study – Webster Technique / Breech Presentation
Results:
- A gentle chiropractic technique was used with 4 patients with babies in breech presentation. The fetus was turned in all 4 patients within 4 visits.
