Gentle Chiropractic Care Throughout Pregnancy
Pregnancy brings incredible changes to your body. As your baby grows, changes in posture, weight distribution, pelvic mechanics, muscles, and ligaments can contribute to new aches and discomfort.
At Street Chiropractic in Indianapolis, Dr. Rebecca Street provides individualized, pregnancy-specific chiropractic care designed to help expecting mothers stay comfortable and moving throughout pregnancy.
Dr. Street is Webster Technique Certified and has additional training in caring for pregnant patients.
What Is the Webster Technique?
The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment commonly used during pregnancy.
The technique focuses on evaluating the pelvis and addressing sacral and pelvic dysfunction with the goal of supporting proper pelvic biomechanics.
The Webster Technique is not a technique for turning a baby.
Instead, it focuses on the mother's pelvic function, joints, muscles, and surrounding structures.
What Does Pregnancy Chiropractic Care Look Like?
Pregnancy care is modified based on your stage of pregnancy, symptoms, examination findings, and comfort.
Special positioning and pregnancy-appropriate techniques allow us to provide gentle care as your body changes.
Treatment may also incorporate rehabilitation, stretching, soft-tissue techniques, or other conservative therapies when appropriate.

Can chiropractic care turn a breech baby?
The Webster Technique is not a method for turning babies. Its focus is addressing pelvic and sacral dysfunction in the pregnant patient.

No. Some pregnant patients seek care because of a specific musculoskeletal complaint, while others want support for mobility and function as their bodies change.

Why Does Pregnancy Cause Back & Pelvic Pain?
Your body undergoes significant physical changes throughout pregnancy.
As the abdomen grows, your center of gravity shifts and the way your spine and pelvis handle everyday movement changes. These adaptations can place additional stress on joints, muscles, and surrounding tissues.
Our goal is to support comfortable movement and function as your body changes throughout pregnancy.
