What is the Schaefer Protocol?
One out of eight couples struggle with infertility. If this is you, the Schaefer Protocol can help. It focuses on 8 essentials of a healthy couple. While it is valuable for everyone, it is especially beneficial for those trying to conceive and have a healthy pregnancy. And, yes, this is important for dad too!
Chiropractic adjustments, nutrition, hydration, ideal movement, mindfulness, stress management, healthy sleep, glyconutrients, and supplementation are all part of the protocol.
When you support your body through the Schaefer protocol you are able to remove any barriers to your health and give your body what it needs to flourish. A well-supported healthy body is the foundation of a healthy pregnancy.
What is the Webster Technique?
Just over 30% of all births in the U.S. were by c-section. Many of these were due to the position of the baby, abnormalities of the pelvis, or lack of strong enough coordinated uterine forces.
The Webster Technique is a specific assessment and chiropractic adjustment to be used on pregnant women throughout pregnancy. It addresses many of these issues and prepares women for a safer and easier birth.
While it was created with the pregnant patient in mind, this technique is meant to balance the bony and ligamentous structures of the pelvis and sacrum, and thus can be used on anyone with a spine and pelvis! It is a great adjustment for those trying to conceive.
Ideally, these adjustments would begin as soon as pregnancy starts, or even during the preconception period! However, it is never too late to begin. You will still benefit from these assessments and adjustments at any time in your pregnancy.
Chiropractic Care & Active Release Technique (ART)
It’s not normal to have pain or muscle tension throughout your pregnancy. Chiropractic adjustments along with Active Release Techniques (ART) can address the pain and be a huge part of your healing.
Even if you are not in pain, chiropractic care supports healthy nervous system function. Since your nervous system allows your brain to communicate with the rest of your body, including all of your organs, it is crucial during preconception, prenatal, and postpartum.
As your body comes into alignment, your nervous system is able to function more effectively. This opens up the pathways for optimal communication in your body. Chiropractic is a valuable part of your preconception, prenatal, and postnatal treatment.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder that affects as many as 5-7 million women of reproductive age in the US alone. This is 10% of all reproductive-aged women! Over half of these remain undiagnosed.
