Is it safe to get adjusted by a chiropractor during pregnancy?

Yes it is!  Dr. Amie Gregory DC, CCEP is certified in the Webster Technique.  This non-invasive technique is specific for prenatal care and developed by a doctor.  He wanted members of his family to have less difficulty during pregnancy and help with the position of the baby.  

The Webster Technique helps keep mom and baby comfortable.  It also improves:

According to the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics (2002), an 82% success rate is seen by Webster Technique Certified Chiropractors who work with mothers with babies presenting breech or transverse.  I have personally treated a mother to be that was 40 weeks pregnant with success.   It has also successfully used with twins.

Making sure your hips, sacrum and spine are moving correctly allows the birth canal to open fully allowing for an easier delivery.  This is great for mom and for baby!
