Prenatal Chiropractic & the Webster Technique
Gentle, pregnancy-specific care in Las Vegas for every trimester, from the first weeks through the day you go into labor.
Your Body Is Doing Something Extraordinary. It Deserves Precision.
Pregnancy shifts posture, weight distribution, ligament tension and hormone levels, all at once. The pelvis absorbs most of it, and the nervous system carries the rest. Prenatal chiropractic care aims to support alignment and function through that change, rather than waiting for pain to force the issue.
Every adjustment here is modified for your stage of pregnancy, with positioning and pressure adapted as you grow. Dr. Rhee is certified in the Webster Technique through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association and analyzes the sacrum, pelvic alignment, ligamentous tension and muscular balance at each visit.

How We Work with You
The Webster Analysis
A specific assessment of sacral subluxation, pelvic asymmetry, round-ligament tension and muscular imbalance, then a gentle, targeted correction.
Modified for Every Trimester
Positioning, table setup and force are adjusted as you grow. Nothing about a third-trimester visit resembles a general adult adjustment.
Nervous-System Support
Reducing mechanical stress lowers the physical stress signal to the nervous system, which many patients notice in sleep, digestion and stress tolerance.
Comfort as a Real Goal
Being able to sleep on your side, get off the couch, or walk the dog again is not a small goal.
Gonstead Specificity
Full five-part analysis before any adjustment, so we correct the segment that needs it and leave the rest alone.
Care That Carries Forward
Pelvic balance built during pregnancy is what your body draws on during recovery. Many patients continue into postpartum care.
You Asked
Is chiropractic care safe during pregnancy?
Yes. Prenatal chiropractic care is generally considered safe when provided by a trained provider. Technique and positioning are modified for each stage of pregnancy to ensure comfort and safety.
Will the Webster Technique turn my breech baby?
No. Webster does not physically turn a baby, and we won’t tell you otherwise. It aims to support pelvic balance, creating favorable conditions for the baby to find an optimal position on its own.
When in pregnancy should I start?
Any time, including preconception. Starting early means support is in place before discomfort builds, but many first come in during the third trimester and still benefit.
Do I need X-rays?
No. Full-spine radiographs are never taken during pregnancy. Analysis relies on visualization, instrumentation, and static and motion palpation.
How often will I come in?
It depends on your symptoms, stage of pregnancy and how your body responds. Dr. Rhee will give you a specific recommendation with a rationale, and you’re free to say no to any part of it.
