Webster Certified prenatal chiropractic care with Dr. Korrin Taylor, DC
Pregnancy changes everything about how your body moves, loads, and holds itself together. The pelvis shifts. The lumbar curve deepens. Ligaments loosen throughout the body under the influence of relaxin. Most of that is normal, and most of it responds well to chiropractic care when it starts creating discomfort, limited mobility, or SI joint pain that your OB can acknowledge but not mechanically address.
Most patients come to us holding one hand on their low back. By the third trimester your center of gravity shifts forward, your pelvis tilts to make room, and your round ligaments stretch in new ways. Treating just the sore spot ignores what’s driving it. Dr. Korrin is Webster Technique certified through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA), a specific prenatal credential that requires training in pelvic mechanics, fetal positioning, and the anatomy of the round ligaments and uterine support structures. We combine that with Zone Technique to address the nervous system patterns driving prenatal discomfort at the source instead of just managing symptoms.
Every prenatal visit begins with a Zone Technique assessment of your full nervous system, not just the area where you feel pain. During pregnancy, four zones are directly in play: the glandular zone governing relaxin and cortisol signaling, the nervous zone mapping sacral nerve root pathways, the muscular zone identifying round ligament tension and piriformis tightening, and the circulatory zone addressing blood flow changes and third trimester edema.
In pregnancy, the disruption usually starts with sacral misalignment, pelvic ligament strain, and low back compensation working together. The sacrum and pelvis carry extra work during pregnancy: relaxin loosens your ligaments so your pelvis can shift for delivery, and pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain is common enough that European clinical guidelines address how to check and manage it directly.
Whole-body assessment comes first, then Webster Technique work specific to the pelvis and sacrum.
Webster certified care means Dr. Korrin has specific training in pregnant anatomy and pelvic mechanics, not a general adjustment adapted for pregnancy. Not every chiropractor who says they treat pregnant patients has trained specifically for it, and that matters more than people know.
Dr. Korrin is certified in the Webster Technique through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association. It’s a specific protocol focused on the pelvis and the ligaments that support it during pregnancy. As pregnancy progresses, the round ligaments and sacroiliac joints take on new strain, which can create tension and imbalance around the uterus. The Webster Technique uses a light, specific analysis of the sacrum and adjusts where the joint isn’t moving as it should.
We want to be honest with you. The Webster Technique gets talked about a lot with breech positioning, and some practitioners say it can turn a baby. The research on that specific claim is limited and mixed. A retrospective study published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics reported improved outcomes in a small case series, but it wasn’t a controlled trial, and we won’t tell you it works like a switch.
What we can tell you, based on the mechanism, is that reducing pelvic joint restriction and ligament tension is a reasonable goal. Less tension around the pelvis often means less discomfort walking, sitting, or sleeping later in pregnancy. Dr. Korrin goes through the studies in more detail in prenatal chiropractic research: what the evidence shows.
It’s time to come in when pregnancy pain is one-sided, keeps coming back, or gets in the way of sleep, walking, or climbing stairs. Here’s a scenario we hear often. You’re twenty weeks along. You roll over in bed. A sharp pull grabs your lower belly or hip. That’s often round ligament strain, your body stretching to make room. But some pain isn’t just stretching. It’s your pelvis sitting unevenly, putting pressure on nerves and joints that weren’t built to carry weight that way.
How do you tell the difference? We ask patients a few questions. Does it get worse standing on one leg to put on pants? Is one side of your low back always tighter than the other? Do you feel a deep, achy pressure low in your pelvis that doesn’t ease with rest?
Any one of those on its own isn’t alarming. Three or four together, and we want to look at your pelvis and nervous system as a whole. Plenty of pregnancy discomfort is just pregnancy, but pain that’s asymmetrical, persistent, or getting in the way of sleep is worth a real look, not just stretching it out and hoping.
Call your OB or midwife first for bleeding, leaking fluid, sudden swelling, changes in your baby’s movement, early regular contractions, severe abdominal pain, or fever. Prenatal chiropractic care isn’t a substitute for your OB or midwife, and it isn’t emergency care. Our job is to check for pelvic and spinal restriction that might add to your discomfort or make it harder for your body to do what it’s built to do. That’s a different job than monitoring your pregnancy for medical complications.
If something feels medically off, call your OB or midwife first, not us. Whether you’re planning to deliver at Medical City Plano or Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Plano, or planning a home birth with a midwife practice like Baby Catcher on Municipal Ave, chiropractic care fits alongside that plan, never in place of it.
None of those are things adjustments address, and none of them should wait for a chiropractic visit. If you’re dealing with common low back ache, hip pain, or that deep pelvic pressure that shows up in the third trimester, that’s squarely in our lane. But sharp, sudden, or scary symptoms need a phone call to your OB or midwife the same day, sometimes the same hour.
During your first visit, we spend time asking about your pregnancy, your history, and where you’re feeling pulled, tight, or off balance. Then we check how your pelvis, low back, and hips are moving, looking at how your whole nervous system is working rather than just chasing the spot that hurts.
From there we use a pregnancy pillow or a table that adjusts to your shape. Positioning is adapted for your trimester: side-lying with body pillow support for second and third trimester visits, no twisting, and nothing that places pressure on the abdomen.
If your pelvis shows the kind of imbalance the Webster Technique addresses, we use a light, specific adjustment to the sacrum and the ligaments that support the uterus. The idea is to reduce tension in that area so the pelvis can move as it’s meant to. We’ll walk you through exactly what we’re checking before we touch anything, and we’ll review a care frequency that makes sense for where you are in your pregnancy before you leave your first visit.
Most of our prenatal patients come in for one of three reasons. The first group has developed SI joint pain, round ligament discomfort, or low back pain in the second trimester and wants mechanical relief before the third trimester adds more load on top of it. The second group starts care early, in the first or early second trimester, before significant symptoms develop, to establish a structural baseline through the full pregnancy. The third group comes specifically in the third trimester because of fetal positioning concerns and wants Webster Technique support as the due date approaches.
One thing we hear often around Plano is round ligament pain during the second trimester, especially in patients who are still on their feet for long shifts. We talk through that, check your pelvis, and adjust if it’s indicated. Not every ache means you need an adjustment that day. We’ll tell you when we think you’re fine to just stretch and rest instead, take an easy walk on the boardwalk trails at Oak Point Park and Nature Preserve, or try a gentle class at Shala Yoga Loft on 15th Street.

Our prenatal patients come from across Plano, TX, moms-to-be from Murphy, and the Richardson side of town, and our care is built to continue through the postpartum period and into pediatric chiropractic care for the baby when the time comes. One practice through pregnancy and your child’s early years.
We start by checking your whole nervous system, not just where you feel pain. Using Zone Technique, we look at six zones to find where the disruption starts, often the sacrum, pelvis, and low back working together during pregnancy. We ask about your symptoms, watch how you walk and stand, then do a gentle, specific adjustment focused on your pelvis. There is no twisting or forceful pressure on your belly. Most patients say it feels calmer than they expected.
Some patients notice less pressure within a visit or two, but every pregnancy is different, so we won’t promise a timeline. What we watch for is whether your pain is getting more even, more manageable, and less disruptive to sleep and walking. If your pelvis was sitting unevenly, that often takes a few visits to settle as your body adapts to each week of pregnancy. We check progress at every appointment rather than assuming it’s working.
Yes, the building at 4065 E Plano Pkwy #230 has parking right outside, so you won’t need to walk far while pregnant. That matters more than people think in your third trimester, when even a short walk on uneven pavement can aggravate a pelvis that’s already under strain. We want getting to your appointment to be the easy part of your day.
For most healthy pregnancies, yes, but we always adjust our approach as your pregnancy progresses. Early on, care often focuses on general alignment. By the third trimester, we’re paying close attention to your sacrum and pelvic ligaments as relaxin loosens things for delivery. We use a table and positioning built for a pregnant belly, never pressure on your abdomen. If you have a high-risk pregnancy or your OB has flagged concerns, we want that conversation to happen first.
This depends on what your body is dealing with, but many patients come in every few weeks and more often as symptoms increase later in pregnancy. If your pain is mild and occasional, less frequent visits may be enough. If you have asymmetrical pain, sciatic-type symptoms down one leg, or pelvic instability on stairs, we usually suggest closer spacing at first so we can track how your pelvis is responding.
Prenatal care through the Webster Technique focuses specifically on your sacrum and the ligaments supporting your pelvis, not a general spine adjustment. Pregnancy changes your center of gravity, tilts your pelvis, and stretches your round ligaments in ways a standard adjustment was never built for. We trained specifically in this protocol through the ICPA because pregnant anatomy needs a different kind of attention, especially as you move toward your third trimester.
