Relief from Constipation During Pregnancy: The Role of Chiropractic Care Using the Webster Technique

No items found.
June 17, 2024

During pregnancy, many women experience constipation due to hormonal changes and the physical pressure of the growing uterus on the intestines. This common discomfort can significantly impact a woman's quality of life. However, chiropractic care, particularly using the Webster Technique, offers a safe and effective way to alleviate constipation. At Pinnacle Chiropractic in Lakewood Ranch, FL, our prenatal chiropractors specialize in this gentle approach, helping expectant mothers find relief and enjoy a healthier pregnancy.

Understanding Constipation During Pregnancy

Constipation is a frequent issue in pregnancy, affecting up to 40% of pregnant women. The increased levels of progesterone relax the muscles in the digestive tract, slowing down the movement of food and leading to constipation. Additionally, the expanding uterus can compress the intestines, exacerbating the problem. This can cause discomfort, bloating, and significant distress.

How Chiropractic Care Can Help

Chiropractic care during pregnancy focuses on maintaining a well-aligned spine and optimal pelvic balance, which can help the nervous system function at its best. Proper nerve function is crucial for regulating the muscles and organs involved in digestion. When the spine and pelvis are properly aligned, the gastrointestinal system can operate more efficiently, potentially easing the symptoms of constipation.

The Webster Technique Explained

The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic sacral analysis and adjustment that aims to enhance nerve system function in the pelvis, improve pelvic alignment, and reduce undue tension in the pelvic muscles and ligaments. Here’s how it can specifically aid in alleviating constipation during pregnancy:

  1. Enhanced Nervous System Function: By ensuring that the nerves governing the digestive organs are unimpeded, the Webster Technique can help restore optimal digestion and alleviate constipation.
  2. Improved Pelvic Alignment: Proper alignment of the pelvis can relieve any undue pressure on the intestines, allowing for better movement of waste through the colon.
  3. Reduced Tension in Pelvic Muscles: This technique also helps reduce tension in the muscles and ligaments in the pelvis, which can contribute to improved intestinal function.

Patient Stories: Discover Reviews by Satisfied Chiropractic Patients

Hear what our patients have to say about their experience at Pinnacle.

My 8 yr old daughter with Sensory Processing Issues has had transformative results.
She may still not like everything, but she is calmly declining instead of melting down. She had also become adverse to hugs and touch. Now she is wanting to be held again. Initially, she was aprehensive about her "massage" as I referred to her appointments. However, the staff is amazing. Your child is loved and welcomed by everyone. I couldn't be more pleased.
They are a great group of people and treat the children with respect
My grandson has been being seen here for several months and we notice a marked improvement in his sleeping and ability to concentrate. The staff there is professional and manages the many kids coming in and out with ease and appointments are as scheduled and rescheduling is not a problem. They are a great group of people and treat the children with respect and always have something fun going on for them to look forward to.
