Dr. Camille is Webster Technique certified through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA). This specialized technique has an 82% success rate in relieving the causes of intrauterine constraint, helping your baby get into the best position for birth while supporting your comfort throughout pregnancy.
Why I Became Webster Technique Certified
After my traumatic C-section with my first baby, I knew there had to be a better way to prepare for birth. The Webster Technique became a crucial part of my journey to natural birth with my subsequent children, including my 10-pound baby boy born without pain medication.
Through my specialized training with the ICPA, I learned that optimal pelvic balance isn’t just about comfort during pregnancy—it’s about creating the best possible environment for your baby’s development and positioning. Every expecting mother deserves to know about this safe, effective technique that can transform her pregnancy and birth experience.
The Most Researched Prenatal Chiropractic Technique
The Webster Technique is the most researched and established chiropractic approach for prenatal care, with over 30 years of clinical application and scientific validation.
Official ICPA Definition: According to the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association, the Webster Technique is ‘a specific chiropractic analysis and diversified adjustment with the goal to reduce the effects of subluxation and/or SI joint dysfunction, thereby improving neuro-biomechanical function in the sacral/pelvic region.’
What This Means for You:
- Optimizes pelvic balance and function throughout pregnancy
- Addresses the root neurobiomechanical causes of pregnancy discomfort
- Creates optimal space for your baby’s growth and positioning
- Supports your body’s natural ability to birth
Important Distinction: The Webster Technique addresses dysfunction in the mother’s pelvis—not the baby directly. This keeps the technique within proper chiropractic scope while delivering powerful results for both mom and baby.
Proven Results: 82% Success Rate
The Webster Technique’s effectiveness is backed by substantial research published in peer-reviewed journals and ongoing studies through the ICPA’s Practice-Based Research Network.
Landmark Research Results: The 2002 study published in the Journal of Manipulative & Physiological Therapeutics found:
- 82% success rate in relieving musculoskeletal causes of intrauterine constraint
- 92% resolution rate of breech presentation when tracked
- No reported adverse effects in over 1,000 cases
Ongoing Research: The ICPA maintains the largest Practice-Based Research Network in the chiropractic profession, continuously collecting data to refine and validate the Webster Technique. Current studies include prospective research on Webster Technique outcomes in pregnant patients.
What the Research Shows:
- Safe and effective throughout all stages of pregnancy
- Addresses the underlying causes rather than just symptoms
- Supports both maternal comfort and optimal fetal development
- No known contraindications to care during pregnancy”

Understanding Pelvic Balance and Baby Positioning
During pregnancy, your body undergoes incredible changes that can affect pelvic balance and function. The hormone relaxin loosens your ligaments, your center of gravity shifts, and your growing baby puts new demands on your spine and pelvis.
The Webster Technique addresses three key areas:
1. Sacral Subluxation Analysis Using specific analysis techniques, Dr. Camille identifies areas where spinal misalignments may be affecting pelvic function and nerve communication.
2. Pelvic Ligament Balance The technique includes gentle soft tissue work on the round ligaments and other supporting structures that connect your uterus to your pelvis, ensuring optimal balance and function.
3. Neurobiomechanical Optimization By restoring proper pelvic mechanics, nerve communication improves, supporting your body’s natural ability to create the best environment for your baby.
Why Pelvic Balance Matters: Your uterus connects to your pelvis through the utero-sacral ligaments, round ligaments, and broad ligaments. When your pelvis functions optimally, these connections work properly, giving your baby the best possible space to grow and get into position for birth.
Comprehensive Support for Your Pregnancy Journey
The Webster Technique offers benefits throughout your entire pregnancy, not just when positioning concerns arise.
First Trimester Benefits:
- Establishes optimal pelvic foundation as your body begins changing
- Supports proper nerve communication for healthy development
- Addresses early pregnancy discomforts
Second Trimester Benefits:
- Maintains pelvic balance as your baby grows
- Prevents common pregnancy discomforts from developing
- Supports optimal space for continued fetal development
Third Trimester Benefits:
- Encourages optimal fetal positioning for birth
- Reduces likelihood of breech or transverse presentation
- Prepares your pelvis for efficient labor and delivery
The ICPA recommends Webster Technique care throughout pregnancy rather than waiting until positioning concerns arise, as this proactive approach creates the best outcomes for both mother and baby.
