Can chiropractic care aid with breech presentations?
If your baby is breech (when the baby’s feet or rear-end are facing down) or transverse (when the baby is lying on its side), chiropractic care can help to avoid an invasive cesarean section. If the bones of the pelvis are out of alignment or lacking proper mobility, it can result in a condition known as intra-uterine constraint. The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic adjustment for pregnant mothers. Working to correct misalignments, this technique reduces interference to the nervous system, balances out pelvic muscles and ligaments which in turn removes constraint to the woman’s uterus and allows the baby to get in the best position for birth. A 94% success ratio has been noted with breech turning to allow for easy delivery. Look for a doctor that is certified in the Webster Technique.
