Our Prenatal Services
The Webster Technique
At Revital Chiropractic & Wellness in Chicago, we understand the incredible journey of pregnancy. Our team, led by Dr. Adams (Webster Technique certified), provides expert, compassionate, and evidence-based prenatal chiropractic care to support you through every trimester. We focus on easing discomfort, enhancing mobility, and preparing your body for labor.
The Webster Technique is a gentle chiropractic method made just for prenatal care. It focuses on balancing your pelvis and the muscles around it. This helps to relieve common pregnancy discomforts, improve how you move, and create the best environment for both you and your baby.
This technique has been used for over 30 years and is clinically observed to support better pregnancy outcomes. It's championed by the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA), which was founded by Dr. Larry Webster himself to advance chiropractic care for families, especially pregnant women and children. The ICPA is the leading organization for teaching and certifying chiropractors in the Webster Technique.

How Chiropractic Supports Your Changing Body
Pregnancy brings significant changes to your body's posture, movement, and balance. As your baby grows, these adaptations can cause discomfort. Prenatal chiropractic care, especially the Webster Technique, is crucial for managing these shifts.
​
We address common biomechanical changes like:
Postural Shifts
Counteracting increased pressure on your lower back and pelvis from a shifted center of gravity.
Ligament Laxity
Stabilizing joints influenced by hormonal changes.
Pelvic Pain
Optimizing pelvic function to manage sacroiliac (SI) joint pain.
Upper Body Strain
Reducing tension in the upper back, shoulders, and neck due to altered balance.
Gait Changes
Helping maintain balanced movement as your walk adapts.
Pelvic Floor Adaptations
Supporting pelvic floor function to prepare for birth.
By gently addressing your spine, pelvis, and muscles, prenatal chiropractic care alleviates pressure, reduces discomfort, and supports your natural alignment throughout pregnancy. Regular adjustments are a proactive way to stay comfortable, active, and prepared for labor.
