Dr. Alex Kaminsky, D.C. · Certified Craniosacral Therapist · over 25 years of experience
Focused on sacral alignment, gentle soft tissue release, and nervous-system ease — a non-force approach adapted to each stage of pregnancy.
Pregnancy comfort and pelvic balance
The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and gentle adjustment that supports pelvic balance and reduces uneven tension during pregnancy. As the body adapts to a growing baby, posture shifts and weight redistributes — and that change can place strain on the lower back, the sacroiliac (SI) joints, the hips, and the soft tissue around the pelvis. Webster care offers a quiet, hands-on way to help the body adapt with more comfort and balance.
The focus is on sacral alignment and gentle soft tissue release using a non-force approach. Rather than forceful manipulation, care is soft and precise, applied with light pressure, and tailored to each stage of pregnancy. The goal is to support the pelvis so your body can move and rest more comfortably as your pregnancy progresses.
How Webster care may help
- Relieves low back, SI joint, and hip discomfort.
- Supports smoother posture changes and weight shifts.
- Encourages balanced pelvic mechanics as baby grows.
- Pairs well with craniosacral therapy for deeper calm and nervous-system ease.
What patients seek support for
People come to the office during pregnancy for a range of comfort-related concerns, including:
- Low back pain and SI joint discomfort.
- Hip tightness and pelvic pressure.
- Round ligament tension.
- Postural strain and ribcage tightness.
- Concerns about pelvic balance in late pregnancy.
- Overall pregnancy comfort and ease.
Please note: Webster care supports balance and comfort but is not a substitute for medical diagnosis or obstetric care. It is intended to complement — never replace — the care of your physician, midwife, and prenatal team. Results vary from person to person, and this approach is not a cure or a guarantee of any specific outcome. If you experience warning signs during pregnancy — such as bleeding, severe or sudden pain, significant swelling, reduced fetal movement, fever, or any concern your care team has asked you to watch for — contact your physician or seek medical care promptly.
