Pregnancy – A Guide to Care During and After
Dr. Miller’s original chiropractic and natural-health guide, preserving the visit framework, nutrition products and practical tools families came here to find.
The Webster technique
The Webster technique is a chiropractic approach focused on sacral and pelvic function during pregnancy. Dr. Miller’s care may include pregnancy-adapted spinal and pelvic assessment, adjustments, attention to uterine round-ligament tension and support for related soft tissues and pelvic-floor function.
Pelvic and sacral balance
The goal is to identify and address functional restrictions involving the sacrum, pelvis and surrounding tissues rather than treating pregnancy as a disease.
Comfort and movement
Pregnancy changes load, posture, ligament tension and movement. Care is adapted to the mother’s comfort, symptoms and changing needs.
Nervous-system function
Dr. Miller evaluates the full clinical picture and uses chiropractic findings to guide individualized care for the mother.
What the Webster technique does – and what it does not claim
The original article emphasized pelvic balance and the environment surrounding pregnancy. This remains central. The technique is not an obstetric procedure and is not described here as manually turning a fetus.
The earlier page also listed exact statistics for labor time, cesarean delivery, episiotomy and tearing. Those figures are not retained as expected outcomes because they are not strong enough to support promises to an individual patient. The core teaching about pelvic and sacral function remains.
A general pregnancy-care rhythm with Dr. Miller
The original guide offered a simple schedule that parallels the increasing physical demands of pregnancy. It remains a useful framework, but it is adjusted to the patient’s findings, needs, response and travel considerations rather than treated as a required package.
Approximately monthly
Early and middle pregnancy care may be spaced approximately once per month when findings and response support that schedule.
Approximately every two weeks
As pregnancy advances and physical demands change, visits may move to roughly every two weeks.
Approximately weekly
During the final weeks, weekly care may be appropriate for some patients based on function, comfort and clinical findings.
Pregnancy care does not end at birth
A properly functioning nervous system is important for infants, children and mothers alike. Childbirth is physically demanding for both mother and baby, and the postpartum period brings another major change in load, movement, sleep and recovery.
Postpartum reassessment for mother
Pelvic, sacral, spinal and muscular function can be reassessed after delivery. Timing and technique are individualized to the mother’s recovery and presentation.
Individual evaluation for the child
Chiropractic care may be considered after birth when appropriate. An infant is evaluated as an individual; care is never automatic merely because a delivery occurred.
The products preserved from Dr. Miller’s original guide
Pregnancy, breastfeeding, diet and individual findings all affect nutritional needs. These resources remain here because they were part of the original education, not because every mother needs every product.

Calcifood Powder
Calcium intake is especially important while breastfeeding. The original guide described Calcifood as an option for supporting the mother’s calcium intake and, through breast milk, the nursing baby’s nutrition.
Safety correction: Do not add supplements to infant formula unless Dr. Miller or another clinician directly involved in the infant’s care has provided specific instructions based on that infant’s needs.
Pre/Post Natal Vitamins
The original suggested use was one tablet twice daily, or as otherwise directed for the individual. Review the current label and avoid unintentionally combining overlapping prenatal products.
Pre/Post Natal Minerals
The original suggested use was two tablets three times daily, or as otherwise directed for the individual. Current product directions and the complete nutritional plan should guide use.
Preggie Pop Drops
Each woman and each pregnancy is different. This is one of the practical comfort options preserved from the original guide for families comparing what works best for them.
Root’d Option
Another retained option for women comparing nutrition and comfort support during pregnancy. Review ingredients in the context of the complete plan.
Practical pregnancy tools
Pregnancy Ball
Mobility and core strength are key parts of a healthy pregnancy and delivery. A ball can support selected movement and exercise when balance and setup are appropriate.
Pregnancy Pillow
Adequate sleep matters. A supportive pillow can improve positioning and make pain-free, comfortable, deeper rest more achievable as the body changes.
SI / Pelvic Support Belt
Wear the belt low around the hips, near the junction of the leg and body rather than high around the waist. It may support the pelvis during pregnancy and shortly afterward while joints remain more lax.
Use it as little as necessary so the body does not become unnecessarily dependent on external support.
Keep moving within your ability
Mobility, core function, sleep and appropriate support work together. Tools should help the body function; they should not replace individualized assessment or become permanent crutches.
Move easily from fertility through pregnancy and early development
These three guides are designed to work together. Start with the stage that fits your family now, then move directly to the next resource whenever you are ready.
Fertility and Ovulation
Understand cycle timing, the fertile window, waking temperature and ovulation predictor kits.
Pregnancy Guide
Continue into pregnancy-adapted chiropractic care, nutrition, postpartum support and practical resources.
Baby and Early Development
Explore informed newborn choices, early sensory activities, movement, books and the family video journal.
Pregnancy care should remain personal
Use this guide to understand Dr. Miller’s approach, then let the examination, stage of pregnancy and individual response shape the plan.

From the Desk of Dr. Dylan Miller
If Dr. Miller’s practical, testing-based approach resonates with you, use the visit guide to understand the process and choose the clinic pathway that fits your needs.
The goal is a clear baseline, focused recommendations and honest reassessment—not a one-size-fits-all plan. Learn what to expect before you schedule.
A Practice Built Together
The practice may carry Dr. Miller’s name, but it has never been a one-person effort. Chelsea Miller, Operations Manager, leads office operations, patient scheduling and communication, and the practice’s social media—helping people feel welcomed and cared for from their first contact.
Together, Dylan and Chelsea support patients through the Grant City, Missouri, and Des Moines, Iowa locations.
