Stand out in your community as a trusted pregnancy chiropractor with a comprehensive understanding of perinatal care from preconception through postpartum.
The ICPA Perinatal Certification is the next step for chiropractors committed to providing confident, clinically grounded care for pregnant patients. Webster Certification begins this journey with an in-depth understanding of the importance of chiropractic care during pregnancy. Perinatal Certification builds upon that foundation, expanding clinical expertise across the entire perinatal continuum — from preconception through postpartum.
What this means for your patients: Families who come to you during one of the most significant transitions of their lives will receive care informed by a comprehensive, evidence-aware approach — from the earliest stages of pregnancy through their recovery and return to wellness after birth.
Perinatal Certification is not only an advanced pregnancy-focused credential — it also serves as the clinical foundation for Pediatric Certification. Seven of the ten Perinatal Certification courses apply directly toward Pediatric Certification, placing you nearly halfway toward becoming an ICPA Certified Pediatric Chiropractor. This structure allows you to build forward rather than start over as your practice expands from pregnancy care to long-term family wellness.
Perinatal Certification consists of:
The exam fee is $250 and may be paid at any time once enrolled in the program. This fee is waived when all Perinatal courses are purchased with Certification Enrollment. Exams become available as each seminar is completed.
Upon successful completion of all required coursework and exams, chiropractors will receive their Perinatal Certification and be listed accordingly in the ICPA Referral Directory.
For many chiropractors, Perinatal Certification represents both a meaningful professional milestone and a natural transition point toward advanced pediatric training.
