Prenatal Chiropractic
Specialized Support for Pregnancy & Birth PrepPregnancy asks a lot of your body, and general chiropractic care isn't built to keep up with it. Dr. Tiffany is Webster Certified specifically for pelvic balance and optimal baby positioning, and pairs that with birth doula training, so she understands the physical and emotional realities of labor firsthand. Whether you're dealing with round ligament pain, a breech baby, or just want your body ready for what's ahead, care here is built specifically around where you are in pregnancy.

WHY MAMAS
COME IN
MAMAS
Growing a baby is remarkable work, and your body feels every bit of it. As your due date gets closer, tension tends to settle into the round ligaments, hips, sciatic nerve, and low back — a natural result of shifting posture and loosening joints. Dr. Tiffany's pregnancy-safe adjustments target exactly that tension, so you can move through the months ahead with less strain.
PREGNANCY ACHES & PAINS
WEBSTER TECHNIQUE
When your pelvis is balanced, your baby has more room to move into position for delivery. This is often why families come to Born & Raised specifically — a baby who's breech or positioned less than ideally, and a hope for more room to shift. The Webster Technique works by releasing tension around the pelvis and its supporting ligaments, opening up the space your baby needs to settle where they're meant to be.
BIRTH PREPARATION
How your body feels walking into labor makes a real difference. Consistent prenatal visits keep your pelvis in alignment, your muscles loose, and your movement steady as you count down the weeks. In those final stretches especially, care is focused on one thing: helping you feel capable, grounded, and ready for the day your baby arrives.

The Webster Technique

The Webster Technique is a precise, gentle sacral analysis and adjustment that releases tension around the pelvis and its supporting ligaments, creating room for your baby to settle into position for birth. It's meaningfully different from a general prenatal adjustment, and it's a big part of why families seek out Born & Raised specifically.

Frequently Asked Questions
Prenatal Chiropractic
-
Yes, when it's done by someone trained specifically for pregnant bodies. Dr. Tiffany's approach is built around pregnancy-safe techniques designed to support you and your growing baby at every stage, and every adjustment is modified to match exactly where you are in your pregnancy.
-
A: A wide range, including back and hip pain, sciatica, round ligament pain, pubic symphysis discomfort (SPD), carpal tunnel, rib pain, headaches, digestive discomfort, poor sleep, and a baby who's breech or positioned less than ideally. Beyond individual symptoms, care supports better pelvic alignment and nerve function, which can make labor and birth feel more manageable.
-
A: Each visit centers on a gentle, targeted adjustment aimed at pelvic balance and easing tension, paired with a conversation about how you're feeling and what your body needs that week. Born & Raised uses pregnancy-specific tables and equipment, so comfort is built into the visit itself, not an afterthought.
-
Yes — Dr. Tiffany holds active Webster Certification, a specialized technique focused on releasing pelvic tension to give a baby more room to move into position, including babies who are breech or transverse. If you're comparing providers, it's worth confirming their Webster credential is current, since not everyone who mentions the technique has kept their certification active.
Whoever you choose to support you in your prenatal journey, please make sure they are truly Webster Certified. Many chiropractors say they use Webster Technique but have only taken a basic training or have not maintained their certification. The certification should be current and listed through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA).
You can verify a provider’s credentials and find someone who is Webster Certified, Perinatal Certified, or Pediatric Certified by visiting icpa4kids.com/find-a-pediatric-chiropractor and entering your ZIP code.

Your Body Is Ready to Be Supported.
Your first prenatal visit is unhurried by design — we start by talking through your pregnancy so far, your history, and anything that's feeling off in your body right now.
From there, every technique gets explained before it's used, and your care is built around exactly where you are in pregnancy. Most moms are surprised by how gentle and calm the whole visit feels.
However far along you are, and whatever brought you in, this is a space where your pregnancy is taken seriously, not rushed through.
