What is the websters Technique?

Dr. Peterson was certified in
this technique in 2009. The Webster technique is a specific chiropractic
analysis and diversified adjustment. The goal of the adjustment is to reduce the
effects of subluxation and/or SI joint dysfunction. In so doing neuro-biomechanical function in the sacral/pelvic region is improved. The resulting
tension of the muscles and the ligaments may have an adverse effect on the mother and the baby, causing the
infant to have a difficult time assuming the natural head down position. Correcting this may have a positive effect on the ease of labor and delivery.

Chiropractic care is often used to address issues such as back pain, neck pain, headaches, and joint problems.
While many people report positive outcomes, it's essential to consult healthcare professionals to determine if
chiropractic care is suitable for your individual health needs.

What is Chiropractic Care?

Chiropractic care is a form of alternative medicine that focuses on diagnosing and treating mechanical disorders of
the musculoskeletal system, particularly the spine. Chiropractors use hands-on spinal manipulation and other
techniques to improve alignment, alleviate pain, and support the body's natural ability to heal itself. The
underlying principle is that proper alignment of the body's musculoskeletal structure, especially the spine, enables the body to function optimally without the need for surgery or medication.

We believe that meaningful care begins
by truly listening. Taking the time to understand each person’s story allows us to provide care that is thoughtful, personalized, and effective. Dr. Peterson uses gentle yet effective
techniques to align the spine. She also
incorporates a wide variety of therapies, along with stretching and rehab exercises, to help correct and stabilize the spine.

Her goal is simple: to help you feel better, move better, and get back to
doing the things you love!
