Breech babies may turn after adjustments at Van Every Family Chiropractic!

Breech baby turns. A 25-year-old woman who was 31 weeks pregnant sought chiropractic care in the hope that she would be able to avoid a cesarean section due to the fetus’ breech presentation, which was confirmed by her Ob/Gyn.
The patient also had low back pain that intensified since her pregnancy.
She was evaluated and found to have sacroiliac subluxations and tension on the uterine ligaments. She was adjusted twice to correct the subluxations and ligament tension.

The baby shifted from the breech position after the first visit and after the second visit, the baby shifted to a normal vertex position. She was able to avoid a cesarean section and have an uncomplicated vaginal delivery. (5)
