Webster Technique

 

The International Chiropractic Pediatric Association offers Doctors of Chiropractic the opportunity to receive a Certificate of Proficiency in the Webster Technique.

This chiropractic technique helps to correct sacral misalignment, balance pelvic muscles and ligaments which in turn removes torsion to the woman's uterus, its resulting constraint to the baby, and allows the baby to get into the best possible position for birth.

Instituted in the year 2,000 this certification exam offers both a written and hands on evaluation of the Webster Technique, a specific analysis and adjustment used for pregnant mothers.

The Webster Certification is offered in conjunction with Dr. Ohm's Perinatal Class. It is optional and occurs at the end of the class. All class attendees are invited to take the exam. There is an additional fee to take the Webster exam. Once qualified, the attendee will receive Webster Proficiency Certification status, get posted to the I.C.P.A. web site as Webster Certified and receive a Certificate of proficiency. The I.C.P.A. recognizes the doctor's Webster's certification status with their continued I.C.P.A. D.C. membership.

For those who have not maintained I.C.P.A. annual membership since the date of their certification class, or who attended the class more than 5 years ago without maintaining consistent membership in that time period, they may be required to take a refresher class to reinstate their certification status.

Students may test for the Webster Proficiency Certification at the time of the class and pay the certification fee at that time. When they graduate and become a practicing DC, they must contact the I.C.P.A. office and upgrade their I.C.P.A. membership to DC status before they are entitled to receive their Certificate of Proficiency.
