  • “I started seeing Dr. Leahy when I was pregnant and she did wonders for me. I was then in a car accident and she helped me get back to feeling great. Her methods of treatment are wonderful and she is very open to questions, which makes it a very comfortable and relaxed atmosphere.”

    – Jessica M.

  • “After years of trying to conceive a child naturally, my husband and I began exploring fertility treatments. The first 3 tries were unsuccessful. I was at a low point when my OB asked if I saw a chiropractor. I said yes, and she recommended that I discuss my situation with her. Dr. Leahy listened to me and we discussed how chiropractic adjustments can increase blood flow to the uterus. I increased the frequency of my chiropractic visits and, much to my delight, I became pregnant. I saw Dr. Leahy throughout my pregnancy and delivered a happy, healthy baby girl last September.”

    - Alison P.

FAQs

  • The Webster’s Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment that reduces interference to the nervous system and balances maternal pelvic muscles and ligaments. This in turn reduces torsion in the uterus, a cause of intra-uterine constraint of the baby, and allows for optimal fetal positioning in preparation for the birth.

  • Although it is considered normal for a baby to present in the breech position until the third trimester, the sooner a woman begins care, the more likely it is that they will assume the head down position. By balancing the spine, especially the sacrum and pelvis, the more easy it is for the baby to properly position after the 37 week mark.

    Approximately 4% of all pregnancies result in a breech presentation. The Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics reported in the July/August 2002 issue an 82% success rate of babies turning vertex when doctors of chiropractic balance the pelvis using the Webster Technique.

  • In 2011, Dr. Leahy received her Certification by the Academy Council of Chiropractic Pediatrics (CACCP) through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) and is also a certified Webster’s Practitioner.
