Specialized Care for Changing Bodies

As your body changes to accommodate your growing baby, it’s common to experience discomfort.

Our pregnancy-specific chiropractic care addresses these changes, offering relief from common issues such as low back pain, sciatica, and discomfort in the hips and ribs.

Dr. Cornish’s gentle adjustments help maintain proper alignment, reducing stress on your nervous system and potentially contributing to shorter, more comfortable labor.

Offering the Safe and Effective Webster Technique

Dr. Cornish is a Diplomate in prenatal care, and is certified in the Webster Technique, a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment method that promotes proper pelvic balance. This technique is particularly beneficial for mothers whose babies are in a breech position.

While there are never guarantees on how successful chiropractic adjustments will be for mothers with breech babies, encouraging better fetal positioning throughout your pregnancy can increase the likelihood of a natural, uncomplicated birth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is chiropractic care safe during pregnancy?

Yes, chiropractic care during pregnancy is generally considered safe when performed by a trained, licensed chiropractor using prenatal techniques. Adjustments are gentle and tailored to each stage of pregnancy, using specialized tables and positioning to avoid pressure on the abdomen. Our goal is to support proper spinal and pelvic alignment while keeping you comfortable throughout your pregnancy.

How can chiropractic care help with pregnancy discomfort?

As your body changes throughout pregnancy, hormonal shifts and added weight place extra stress on your spine and pelvis. Chiropractic adjustments can help relieve lower back pain, sciatica, hip pain, and pelvic discomfort. Many of our prenatal patients find they sleep better, move more freely, and simply feel more comfortable throughout their pregnancy.

What is the Webster Technique in prenatal chiropractic care?

The Webster Technique is a specialized chiropractic analysis and adjustment focused on improving pelvic balance during pregnancy. It addresses the sacrum, pelvis, and surrounding ligaments to reduce tension and restore normal movement. By supporting better pelvic alignment, this technique helps create a more balanced environment in the uterus and encourages optimal biomechanics for pregnancy and birth.

Can chiropractic care help with breech babies?

Chiropractic care using the Webster Technique does not manually turn a baby. Instead, it works to improve pelvic alignment and reduce tension in the muscles and ligaments surrounding the uterus. When pelvic balance is restored, it may create more space for the baby to naturally move into a head-down position before birth.

What are the benefits of seeing a chiropractor during pregnancy?

Prenatal chiropractic care may help reduce back and pelvic pain, improve posture, and support proper pelvic alignment as your body changes. Some research and clinical observations also suggest it may contribute to better fetal positioning and a smoother labor experience by supporting balanced pelvic mechanics.
