Webster Certified Chiropractor in Argyle, TX
A specific, gentle adjustment of the pelvis developed for pregnancy — and a certification you can verify.
If a midwife, doula or friend told you to find a "Webster certified" chiropractor, you were given good advice and probably no explanation of it. This page is the explanation.
Dr. Morgan Malpass holds Webster certification through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association, earned in 2025, alongside advanced ICPA training in perinatal care. Both are listed in full on her credentials.
What the Webster Technique is
The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment of the sacrum and pelvis, developed for pregnancy. It has two halves: an adjustment of the sacroiliac joint, and a gentle soft-tissue release of the round ligaments that support the uterus.
The goal of both is the same — reduce tension and restriction so the pelvis sits in balance. It is performed on a table designed to accommodate a pregnant abdomen, and no pressure is placed on your belly at any point.
What the Webster Technique is not
It is not a technique for turning a baby. This is the most common misunderstanding about it, and it matters, because the distinction is the difference between an honest description and a claim no chiropractor should make.
The technique works on the mother's alignment. Nothing is done to the baby, and nothing is done through the abdomen. What balancing the pelvis can do is remove biomechanical restriction — and a baby with less restriction around it has more room to find its own optimal position.
That is a meaningfully smaller claim than "chiropractic turns breech babies", and it is the accurate one. If you have been told your baby is breech, the people to talk to first are your OB or midwife.
What "Webster certified" actually means
It is a post-graduate certification, separate from the chiropractic degree itself. A Doctor of Chiropractic completes ICPA coursework in the technique and in perinatal care, is assessed on it, and is then listed in the ICPA's public directory of certified doctors.
The practical value to you is that it is verifiable. You do not have to take a website's word for it — the ICPA publishes a searchable directory at icpa4kids.com, and any chiropractor claiming the certification should appear in it. Ask, or look it up.
Dr. Malpass earned Webster certification in 2025 and holds advanced ICPA training in perinatal care on top of it, plus a 2026 certification in pediatric and family chiropractic care through The Pediatric Experience.
What a Webster visit looks like
The first visit is a conversation before it is anything else — your pregnancy so far, what is uncomfortable, how you are sleeping, and what you are hoping for from your birth. A physical and pelvic assessment follows, and in most cases your first adjustment happens the same day.
The adjustment itself is gentle and specific. There is no twisting of the abdomen and no sudden movement. Most mothers describe it as pressure and release rather than anything dramatic.
You can start at any point in pregnancy. Many mothers begin in the first trimester and continue through delivery; starting in the third trimester still helps. Care does not have to stop at birth either — most continue into postpartum care, and many bring the baby in for a newborn check in the first few weeks.
Where this fits
The Webster Technique is the core of what happens in prenatal care here, but it is one technique inside a longer arc. Pregnancy, recovery, and then the children who follow — that continuity is where the practice gets its name.
If you are still deciding who to see, how to choose a pediatric or prenatal chiropractor sets out the questions worth asking anyone, including this practice.
From mothers who came here pregnant
What patients say
“I cannot say enough positive things about Dr. Morgan. I have been a patient of hers for three years, including throughout my pregnancy. She is consistently kind, patient, and thorough, always taking the time to understand my symptoms. I always feel immediately better after one of her adjustments!”
“Dr. Morgan is knowledgeable, kind and effective. Her detail-oriented conversations before each adjustment allow for real results for the individual's specific needs, including through pregnancy. Highly recommend!”
What is the Webster Technique?
The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment of the sacrum and pelvis, developed for pregnancy. It reduces tension in the pelvis and the ligaments supporting the uterus so the pelvis sits in balance. It is gentle, non-invasive, and works on the mother's alignment — not on the baby directly.
Does the Webster Technique turn a breech baby?
No, and any chiropractor telling you otherwise is overstating it. The technique works on the mother's pelvis and the ligaments supporting the uterus — nothing is done to the baby. Balancing the pelvis removes biomechanical restriction, which gives a baby more room to find its own position. If your baby is breech, speak to your OB or midwife first.
What does it mean for a chiropractor to be Webster certified?
It is a post-graduate certification from the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association, separate from the chiropractic degree. The doctor completes ICPA coursework in the technique and in perinatal care, is assessed on it, and is then listed in the ICPA's public directory. Dr. Morgan earned hers in 2025.
How can I check that a chiropractor really holds the certifications they claim?
Ask which body issued the certification and in what year, then look it up. The ICPA maintains a public directory of Webster-certified doctors at icpa4kids.com. Every credential held at this practice is published with its issuer and year on the about page precisely so it can be checked.
Is chiropractic care safe during pregnancy?
Yes, and it is one of the main reasons families come here. Dr. Morgan is Webster-certified through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association, and prenatal visits use pregnancy-specific tables and techniques so you stay comfortable throughout. No pressure is ever placed on your belly.
When should I start prenatal chiropractic care?
Any point in your pregnancy is a fine place to start. Many mothers begin in the first trimester and continue through delivery, because staying ahead of discomfort is easier than catching up with it. If you are already in your third trimester, care can still make a real difference.
