Webster Technique Prenatal Chiropractic in Centennial, CO
Reviewed October 2026
Pregnancy changes your body fast, and your pelvis and low back feel it first. The Webster Technique is a gentle chiropractic approach designed to support expecting mothers. At Modern Chiropractic and Wellness Center, Dr. Kelsey Latham is Webster Certified and provides prenatal chiropractic care for moms-to-be in Centennial and the south Denver area.
What is the Webster Technique?
The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment for pregnancy. It focuses on the sacrum (the flat, triangle-shaped bone at the base of the spine) and the pelvis. The goal is to promote balance in the pelvis and nervous system and to ease tension in the muscles and ligaments that support the uterus.
It is gentle, uses very little force, and is adapted to each stage of pregnancy. Chiropractors earn Webster Certification through additional training with the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA).
What conditions can the Webster Technique help with?
Expecting moms often come to us for:
Low back pain
Pelvic and hip pain
Sacroiliac (SI) joint pain, felt near the dimples of the low back
Pubic bone pain
Sciatica and leg pain
Round ligament pain, a sharp pull in the lower belly or groin
Mid-back and rib discomfort as the baby grows
Neck and upper-back tension
Trouble getting comfortable or sleeping
By supporting pelvic balance, the Webster Technique helps optimize comfort during pregnancy. A balanced pelvis may also give your baby more room to settle into a good position. To be clear, Webster is not a technique for turning a breech baby. It is a way to support your body's own balance.
Other benefits moms value:
Drug-free relief. Many pain medicines are limited during pregnancy, so gentle hands-on care is a welcome option.
Moving with more ease. Walking, climbing stairs, and rolling over in bed can feel easier.
Staying active. Care can help you keep up with work, family, and exercise through each trimester.
Feeling heard. You get time to talk through the aches and changes that come with pregnancy.
Chiropractic care works alongside your OB or midwife. It does not replace prenatal medical care.
What happens during a Webster Technique session?
Your first visit is a one-on-one consultation and exam with Dr. Latham. She asks about your pregnancy, your due date, your symptoms, and your health history. Then she checks your posture, pelvis, and spine.
At your second visit, Dr. Latham reviews your plan with you and treatment begins. You'll be positioned comfortably for your stage of pregnancy, with support so there's no pressure on your belly. She checks the sacrum and pelvis, makes a gentle adjustment if needed, and may use light soft tissue work on tight muscles and ligaments. Visits are calm and unhurried.
Does the Webster Technique hurt?
No. The Webster Technique is very gentle. Most moms feel light pressure and then relief. Some feel a little sore for a day, much like after a stretch. If any position is uncomfortable, we will modify!
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on your exam, your symptoms, and how far along you are. Some women come in for a few visits to settle a flare-up. Others prefer regular care through the rest of pregnancy, and visits often become more frequent in the third trimester. Dr. Latham will recommend a schedule that fits you. There are no cookie-cutter plans.
Is the Webster Technique covered by insurance? What does it cost?
Many plans that cover chiropractic care also cover prenatal chiropractic visits, but coverage varies. Dr. Latham works with the plans shown on our New Patients page. Please check your copay, deductible, and visit limits before your first visit.
Self-pay options are available. Call the office at (303) 221-1714 to ask about current rates.
