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)

Chiropractic and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
You won’t find the carpal tunnel on any map – it’s in your wrist. Your carpal (wrist) bones form a tunnel-like structure – the carpal tunnel – through which pass nine tendons and one nerve – the median nerve.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS)
Carpal tunnel syndrome is called the occupational disease of the 21st century. Years ago telegraph operators, seamstresses, carpenters and meat cutters were the chief sufferers from this condition. Today it’s office workers, computer users, musicians and assembly line workers. It is also often found in pregnant women, women who use birth control pills or individuals with an underactive thyroid.
If you have one or more of the following you may have it: tingling and numbness in the hand, fingers and wrist; swelling of the fingers; dry palms; blanching (whitening upon pressure) of the hand; or pain so intense that it awakens you at night. In some people CTS causes similar symptoms in the upper arm, elbow, shoulder or neck. (1)
Millions of people now suffer from CTS (2) and increasing numbers of them are seeking chiropractic care. The drug-free chiropractic approach of releasing nerve and structural stress has been a blessing to untold numbers of people afflicted with this condition.
