Prenatal Chiropractic Care utilizing Webster Technique
At St. Petersburg Chiropractic, we are excited to offer the Webster Technique as part of our comprehensive chiropractic services. This specialized technique is designed to support expecting mothers by encouraging proper fetal positioning, potentially preventing breech presentation for delivery. As a gentle and low-risk chiropractic adjustment, the Webster Technique may significantly increase the chances of an unborn child turning into the ideal position for birth.
How the Webster Technique Works: the Webster Technique is a chiropractic approach used during pregnancy to enhance pelvic function and reduce discomfort. Through a combination of sacral analysis and diversified adjustments, the technique addresses issues such as sacral subluxation and SI joint dysfunction.

Ultrasound Therapy and Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation
Ultrasound therapy is an effective treatment used to alleviate pain and promote the healing of soft tissue injuries. This non-invasive modality utilizes sound waves to penetrate deep into tissues, enhancing circulation and accelerating the healing process.
Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation also known as E-Stim or Muscle Stim, is a therapeutic technique that uses electrical currents to stimulate muscle contractions. This process helps reduce pain, strengthen injured muscles, and promote tissue healing.

Cryo/Heat Therapy
Cold Therapy or Cryotherapy is typically used for acute injuries to the musculoskeletal system, such as sprains or strains. Cold therapy works by cooling the skin and underlying tissues, triggering vasoconstriction—the narrowing of blood vessels.
Heat Therapy is commonly used to alleviate pain and promote healing by increasing circulation and relaxing muscles. Heat can be applied in two main forms: superficial and deep.

Instrument Assisted Spinal Manipulation
The ArthroStim is a handheld device that delivers rapid, incremental thrusts (12-14 per second) to assist in chiropractic adjustments. This technique is effective for a wide range of conditions, providing a gentler, more comfortable alternative to traditional manual adjustments.
How It Works: the ArthroStim uses controlled, repetitive inputs to stimulate neural receptors in the affected area, sending signals to the brain that promote healing. By dividing the force of a single thrust into multiple, faster impulses, the ArthroStimoffers precise adjustments that are less forceful yet highly effective.

Cupping
At St. Petersburg Chiropractic, we typically leave the cups in place for 5-10 minutes. Once the patient is comfortable, we incorporate targeted range-of-motion exercises to allow the muscles and fascia to move beneath the cups. For example, when cups are applied to the lower back, we may have the patient perform cat/cow stretches.

Kinesiology Tape (KT Tape)
Kinesiology Tape (KT Tape) is an elastic therapeutic tape designed to provide support, reduce pain, and facilitate recovery by mimicking the skin’s natural elasticity. It is often used to support muscles, tendons, and ligaments during the healing process.
