Back pain, sciatica, pelvic discomfort, headaches, and sleep disruption are common during pregnancy, but they are not inevitable. With the right care, most pregnant patients experience significant relief and are able to move, sleep, and enjoy their pregnancy with far less discomfort.
At Ethos Chiropractic, Longevity and Wellness, Dr. Jason Black is Webster Technique certified and has helped thousands of pregnant women through all trimesters with gentle, safe, pregnancy-specific chiropractic care — without drugs, injections, or anything that could harm mom or baby.

As Seen On:
Why Pregnancy Creates Spinal and Pelvic Stress
As pregnancy progresses, the body undergoes profound structural and hormonal changes that directly affect the spine, pelvis, and nervous system. The hormone relaxin loosens ligaments throughout the body — necessary for delivery, but also creating joint instability that increases the risk of spinal and pelvic misalignment. The growing uterus shifts the center of gravity forward, dramatically increasing the mechanical load on the lumbar spine and sacroiliac joints. Postural adaptations — increased lumbar lordosis, forward shoulder rounding, and anterior pelvic tilt — compound these stresses and drive the pain, nerve compression, and restricted movement that so many pregnant women experience.
These changes are normal — but their consequences are not inevitable. Chiropractic care throughout pregnancy maintains spinal and pelvic alignment, relieves nerve pressure, reduces muscle tension, and keeps the body functioning as well as possible through every trimester.
Dr. Jason Black’s Approach to Prenatal Care
Pregnancy Conditions We Treat
- Lower Back Pain — the most common pregnancy complaint, driven by increased lumbar lordosis, sacroiliac joint stress, and ligament laxity
- Pelvic Pain and Pubic Symphysis Dysfunction — pain at the front and sides of the pelvis from joint instability and misalignment under the influence of relaxin
- Sciatica During Pregnancy — burning or shooting pain into the buttocks and legs from sciatic nerve compression by the piriformis or from lumbar disc pressure
- Round Ligament Pain — sharp lower abdominal or groin pain from tension and spasm in the round ligaments supporting the growing uterus
- Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction — SI joint misalignment causing low back, buttock, and hip pain that worsens with walking, turning, and position changes
- Neck Pain and Headaches — cervical postural strain and tension headaches from postural adaptations and disrupted sleep positions
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome — wrist and hand numbness and pain from fluid retention and postural changes compressing the median nerve
- Rib Pain and Thoracic Pain — mid-back and rib discomfort from postural changes and the expanding ribcage accommodating the growing baby
- Hip Pain — from sacroiliac and hip joint stress under increased body weight and ligament laxity
- Breech Presentation — Webster Technique certified care to optimize pelvic balance and create the best possible intrauterine environment for fetal positioning
- Sleep Disruption from Pain — inability to find a comfortable position due to musculoskeletal pain — addressed by treating the underlying structural contributors
The Webster Technique — What It Is and Why It Matters
The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment protocol for pregnant women, developed by Dr. Larry Webster and recognized by the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA).
It focuses on reducing sacral subluxation and SI joint dysfunction — restoring pelvic balance and reducing tension in the uterine ligaments and muscles that can restrict the baby’s ability to move into optimal position. Many patients with breech presentation have experienced fetal repositioning following Webster Technique care, though this outcome cannot be guaranteed.
Dr. Jason Black is Webster Technique certified and has used this approach with hundreds of pregnant patients throughout his 30 years of practice. It is safe, gentle, and appropriate throughout all trimesters.
Is Chiropractic Safe During Pregnancy?
Yes — when performed by a chiropractor trained in prenatal care, chiropractic is safe throughout all three trimesters. Dr. Black uses pregnancy-specific techniques that avoid any pressure on the abdomen. Specially designed pregnancy pillows and adjusting tables allow comfortable positioning for all stages of pregnancy.
No X-rays are taken during pregnancy. If imaging is required, MRI is the safe alternative and will be recommended only when clinically necessary.
