Pregnancy Chiropractic Care & the Webster Technique
Women go through several stages during pregnancy, each with
significant emotional, physical and chemical stress on their bodies.
While women experience these rapid changes, the developing child is also
placed under tremendous stress, especially if the child is in a breech
position. Regular chiropractic care during pregnancy can prevent
inter-uterine constraint and make the birthing process easier for the
mother and the child.
Webster Technique The Webster Technique, is used to evaluate and adjust a woman's sacrum in a specific manner to equalize nerve flow to the uterus in disharmony. It is a precise technique that reduces nerve interference and assists bio-mechanical balance. Webster is ideal for all pregnant women, not just breech diagnosis. Jeanne Ohm, President of the International Pediatrics Chiropractic Association said, "The Webster Technique is in fact a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment that decreases interference to the nervous system and balances pelvic muscles and ligaments."

Testimonials
" I First met Dr. Peter and Jessica at a Street fair and was pleasantly surprised with the how warm and welcoming they both were .i have a3 year old child on the Autism spectrum, and a 2 year old that is at risk. i have heard how chiropractic care could help me with the different aspects that come with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) . Although my eldest son is considered "high functioning " he still had many behaviors that were that very dangerous (stemming,tantrums head banging as well as other injurious behaviors). he has been receiving other therapies since he was 18 months old and one of his therapist suggested chiropractic care as another form of therapy. i have talked to a lot of different " specialist in the field and have asked about chiropractic for an option ...most said don't waste my time . I began talking to other moms who suggested that i try it because they had noticed a difference in their kids since they had been getting routine chiropractic care . i had also done other research and figured what could it hurt ?
from the first visit at Dr. Peter's office we not felt incredibly welcome Dr. peter took the time to get to know us as a family and what was working for us and what wasn't .He made suggestions about lifestyle changes that we could make to help improve our lives . He showed that he really cared and took the time with kids and made sure they felt comfortable (as well as myself) before he dis anything. He explained what was out of alignment and what parts of the body that it affected. After my eldest son was adjusted for the first time he got up from the table gave Dr.Pete a hug and said "Thank You Doctor " . This was huge as he was considered nonverbal . well he has not stopped talking since (not always understandable but the effort is there which is huge). We have only had 5 Adjustments and the improvements just keep coming -stemming and tantrums has dropped dramatically , head banging has become virtually nonexistence as well as the other self- injurious behaviors , eldest fully potty trained with no accidents , and sleeping through the night (thank goodness! ) . my son now gets up on the table himself and waits for the adjustment !! I highly recommend that you try Life Force Health Chiropractic care and enjoy the benefits ! " ~ Kristen C
"I was in my last trimester when I received a recommendation to see Dr. Seguinot. He not only helped to align baby (I was carrying to the right), but also helped alleviate the back and neck pain I was dealing with. I've continued to see Dr. Seguinot and since delivering he's helped me recover well with pelvic realignments and specialized body work. He is such a caring person, always there if you need an emergency adjustment." ~ Julie M.
"Dr. Peter helped my baby turn in 1-1/2 weeks, thru application of the Webster technique. I found out she was breech at 40 weeks. My doctor was trying to convince me to have her "turned" in the hospital and the alternative was a classical (vertical) c-section... I was hesitant for many reasons. I sent an s.o.s. to my birth educator and she highly recommended him. He was 100% committed to helping my baby turn on her own. He saw me several times a week & 2 Xs per day for many days, he even saw me on days that the office was closed, until she turned on her own. I delivered a healthy baby without intervention or c-section. I owe it to him. My ob's office had never heard of it and they were in disbelief when the ultrasound showed she had turned. I am so thankful to his commitment and skill level. I highly recommend him for prenatal chiropractic care." ~ Bridget M.
"Dr. Peter was recommended to me by my Bradley Method coach. I am pregnant with my first child and was having major low back pain and sciatica starting at 20 weeks. It took a few visits but I started to feel much better after my treatments and now at 38 weeks I have no pain at all!! Chiropractic treatments while you’re pregnant also help with the alignment and position of your baby. My little boy has been head down since 32 weeks which is so important especially since we are trying to have a natural birth. I would recommend Dr. Peter for any pregnant women who are having any type of pain or if they just want to make sure their baby is in the right position before giving birth!" ~ Joy S.
"Before changing my lifestyle to the best of the best, I though my life was already great. I honestly thought having these headaches, backaches, constipation and pains in my bones were just normal and a sign of getting older and a mix tone of pregnancy. Until my friend told me that chiropractic worked and helped her headaches, the first time she told me about chiropractic, I didn't make the call right away. It took about 4 times of repeating and by then my headaches were really bad. Before I was pregnant, I was constipated for 5 to 6 years and just thought wasn't eating enough fiber and my metabolism was slowing down. I tried taking more fiber, but that didn't work, then I mixed working out with the fiber that I was taking. That only helped me a little, so I gave up trying not to be constipated. When I was about 5 months pregnant and tired of complaining about those headaches that I was getting, I decided to go! After the first visit I went to the bathroom 3 times that day ! and I had no more headaches, even my lower back pain went away. There was no way I was going back to being constipated and in pain, especially in the summer and being pregnant.
For the next 4 months I went 2 times a week and at the end before I gave birth ,I went about 3 times a week, because I wanted my body perfect for my all natural delivery. When the day came of my baby's delivery my body knew what to do. I didn't have much pain after her birth because I got adjusted. I had such a beautiful natural delivery. My body was ready before and all thanks to Dr.peter! He made sure my body was ready before I went into labor. He even had me call in case i needed him during labor,now that's a commitment! I love coming to the office and telling Dr.Peter whats bothering me, because he fixes me, he even helps my baby girl feel better when she hasn't pooped and its not cracking her bones because, that would scare me.He just uses his magical fingers on her spine and puts light pressure on her neck or rubs her belly a certain way. In July it will be a year since starting care. I try going at least 2 times a week so my body can be in good shape, before anything bad happens. If I'd never made that phone call to Dr.Peter, I wouldn't be as happy because of the pains and headaches.He has sure changed my lifestyle to a better painfree life and I thank him for it." ~ Alexis M.
