Pregnancy is supposed to be joyful, not just painful and exhausting. Our Webster-certified doctors help you feel better in your body, support optimal baby positioning, and prepare you for the birth experience you’re hoping for.
Pregnancy changes everything about the way your body works. Your center of gravity shifts. Your pelvis widens. Your ligaments loosen. Your nervous system is doing double duty. And somewhere in the middle of all of that, you’re supposed to sleep, function, and grow a human being.
Prenatal chiropractic care is designed specifically for the pregnant body. It’s safe. It’s gentle. And for many of our patients, it’s the one thing that finally made them feel like themselves again.
Here’s the part most people don’t know: chiropractic care during pregnancy isn’t just about back pain. Your pelvis and sacrum play a central role in creating the space your baby needs to move into the ideal position for birth. When there’s imbalance or restriction in those joints, which is extremely common during pregnancy, it can limit your baby’s ability to rotate and descend properly. That’s where the Webster Technique comes in.
The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment designed for pregnant women. It addresses sacral misalignment and the muscle and ligament tension that contributes to pelvic imbalance. Our doctors at Abundant Health Chiropractic, Dr. Amy Horn and Dr. Caitlin Cross, are Webster certified, providing consistent, specialized prenatal care from a team built around family chiropractic.

We care for moms from the first trimester all the way through postpartum recovery. Pregnancy chiropractic isn’t a luxury, it’s one of the most powerful investments you can make in your birth experience.
Sharp, shooting pain in the lower abdomen or groin, often caused by the rapid stretching of the ligaments supporting your uterus. Pelvic and sacral adjustments can dramatically reduce this discomfort.
That radiating pain down the leg that makes sleeping, walking, and sitting nearly impossible. Extremely common in the second and third trimester, and highly responsive to chiropractic care.
Symphysis pubis dysfunction causes significant pelvic pain and instability. We work to restore balance to the pelvis and reduce the mechanical stress driving this pain.
The most common pregnancy complaint, and one we address effectively with techniques specifically modified for the pregnant body and belly.
Webster Technique creates optimal pelvic balance, which supports the baby’s ability to find the best position for birth.
Nervous system adjustments can support the digestive and hormonal communication that gets disrupted during pregnancy, helping reduce nausea, especially in the first trimester.
As your body prepares for birth, joint hypermobility can lead to significant pain. Chiropractic care helps manage that instability throughout all three trimesters.
What Prenatal Chiropractic Looks Like at Abundant Health
Every prenatal visit at Abundant Health begins with checking in on how you’re feeling, physically and emotionally. Pregnancy is a lot, and we treat the whole person, not just the symptom.
We use specially designed tables and positioning systems that accommodate your changing belly at every stage of pregnancy. You will never be asked to lie flat on your back or stomach in a way that’s uncomfortable or unsafe.
The Webster Technique is our primary focus for prenatal care, but it’s not our only tool. Dr. Amy Horn incorporates craniosacral therapy, which is especially effective for releasing tension in the skull, sacrum, and connective tissue. Dr. Caitlin Cross brings nutritional support through her Master’s degree in Nutrition, helping moms address nausea, energy, and inflammation through whole-body care, and integrates acupuncture for pain management, nausea relief, and birth preparation.
As you move closer to your due date, we support birth preparation, helping to ensure your pelvis is as balanced and ready as possible for labor and delivery. And when your baby arrives, we’re here for your postpartum recovery too.
This care is for you if you are:
All trimesters are welcome. You don’t have to be in pain to benefit from prenatal care.
Yes. Prenatal chiropractic has an excellent safety record and is endorsed by many OBs, midwives, and doulas. Our doctors use techniques and table setups specifically designed for pregnant bodies.
Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment that focuses on the sacrum and pelvis. It addresses pelvic imbalance during pregnancy. Our doctors are Webster certified.
The earlier the better, but it’s never too late. Many moms start in the first trimester to manage nausea and lay a foundation of pelvic balance. Even a few visits close to your due date can make a meaningful difference.
The Webster Technique doesn’t manually move babies. What it does is address the pelvic imbalance and soft tissue tension that may be restricting the baby’s movement. We’ve worked with many moms whose babies turned after beginning Webster care.
Most prenatal patients start with weekly visits and adjust from there based on how they’re feeling. We create an individualized care plan for every patient.
Many of our patients suggest yes. A balanced pelvis allows for more efficient labor because your baby can descend and rotate more easily.
