Why Breech Babies Benefit from Prenatal Chiropractic

Hearing that your baby is breech can be stressful. While it doesn’t mean anything is “wrong,” it does mean your birth plan may look different. The good news is that chiropractic care can often help.

So, what does chiropractic have to do with breech position?

Pelvic Balance is Key
When the pelvis is misaligned, it can create tension in the ligaments that support the uterus. This imbalance may reduce the space baby has to turn head-down comfortably.

The Webster Technique
Specially trained chiropractors use a gentle method called the Webster Technique. It isn’t about “turning” the baby—instead, it’s about creating the best possible environment so your baby can move into the position they choose.

What Moms Notice
Many moms under Webster care report more comfort in their hips, improved mobility, and sometimes even noticing more baby movement after adjustments.

Timing Matters
The earlier in pregnancy pelvic balance is restored, the more opportunity baby has to move head-down naturally. However, moms at 36–38 weeks have still seen benefits.

Takeaway: Breech doesn’t have to mean fear. Chiropractic care gives your baby the best chance at settling into a safe, optimal position for birth.
