Webster Certification Press Release
Doctor Allison Mankey DC Receives Webster Technique Certification Credentials from ICPA
Paso Robles, Ca, October 20, 2014 – Dr. Allison Mankey, DC has recently
completed the requirements of the International Chiropractic Pediatrics
Association (ICPA) Perinatal Care 12 hour course.
This course, developed and instructed by Dr. Jeanne Ohm, covers technique, case
management and evidence informed practice for pregnancy, birth and infancy. The
program also reviews common disorders in pregnancy, chiropractic co-management
with other birth care providers, safety, efficacy and contraindications as well
as certifies practitioners in the Webster Technique.
The Webster technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and diversified
adjustment. The goal of the adjustment is to reduce the effects of sacral
subluxation/SI joint dysfunction and in doing so, improve neuro-biomechanical
function and balance in the pelvis. In the care of pregnant women, sacral
subluxation may contribute to difficult labor for the mother (i.e. dystocia).
Dystocia is caused by inadequate uterine function, pelvic contraction, and baby
malposition. The correction of sacral subluxations may have a positive effect
on all of these causes of dystocia.
In a theoretical and clinical framework of the Webster Technique, it is proposed
that sacral misalignments may contribute to these three primary causes of
dystocia via uterine nerve interference, pelvic misalignment and the tightening
and torsion of specific pelvic muscles and ligaments. The resulting tension and
their aberrant effect on the uterus may prevent the baby from comfortably
assuming the best possible position for birth.
The Webster technique has been shown to be a safe and effective chiropractic
analysis and adjustment throughout pregnancy. Having cared for pregnant women
for 30 years in my own practice, I have witnessed countless women experiencing
greater comfort and safer births because of this care. I highly encourage
mothers-to-be to seek out doctors who are trained in the Webster technique for
their special needs in pregnancy.
Dr. Allison Mankey, DC, is a 2011 graduate of Palmer Chiropractic College in San
Jose, Ca and currently practices at Mankey Family Chiropractic, 502 Spring
Street Paso Robles, Ca with special care for families.
