Salutogenesis: The Birth of Health
In 1987, Dr. Larry Webster developed the Webster Technique, a chiropractic adjustment designed to help pregnant mothers balance their pelvis for an easier, safer birth.
Already known as the “grandfather of pediatric chiropractic,” Webster understood very well how the pregnancy and birth journey could affect the life and health of the newborn infant.
Between then and now, a surge in interest has occurred across the world, with many families seeking out Webster-certified doctors at the start of their pregnancy for an easier birth experience. Their experience of chiropractic in pregnancy has been so helpful that it is not uncommon today to see families inviting chiropractors into the birth ceremony as well, to receive adjustments before and during birth.
For such families, Webster chiropractors are certified also in pediatric wellness and offer the infant in the very first minutes, days, and weeks of life, a primary model of care, to assess and assure their neuro- biomechanical integrity for the purpose of a healthy and resilient start to the mother-baby and family bonding journey.
