Dr. Kate Brown is now certified in the Webster Technique in SE Portland!  If you are pregnant, you should be seeing a chiropractor throughout pregnancy to assure that your body, especially your pelvis, is aligned.  The Webster Technique is a chiropractic technique that focuses on the alignment of the pelvis during pregnancy.  Misalignment of the pelvis can cause difficult and prolonged labor and complications.  Often, if a baby is in breech position, alignment of the pelvis can help restore normal biomechanics to the pelvis and ligaments that attatch to the uterus, and baby can move into optimal position.  The Webster Technique is a safe, effective way for pregnant women to prepare their bodies for labor and delivery.  Come into Acorn Chiropractic in the Sellwood neighborhood of Portland and see Dr. Kate Brown!
