Resolution of Breech Presentation Following Application of Webster Technique

Everyday patients come to my office complaining about problems that plauged them since childhood. That is what lead me into specializing in Pediatrics. Fix them when they are young and they will be much healthier adults.  Well as my practice grew, I realized that problem teenagers had problems as toddlers and challenged toddlers had problems as infants and infants with issues such as colic had problems in-utero with being in the wrong position and/or birth trauma from c-sections or interventions such as forceps.


That is why this case study is important to me. Most of the kids I see with problems such as ear infections, colic, reflux and other challenges, started off having a difficult birth.  Using the Webster Technique throughout the WHOLE pregnancy will reduce the likelihood that the baby will be malpositioned (breech, transverse) and need interventions at delivery.  Then the baby will truly start off life as healthy as possible.

Abstract

Objective: To discuss the outcome of chiropractic care using the Webster Technique on a pregnant female with breech presentation of fetus.

Clinical Features: A 25 year old female sought chiropractic care at 31 weeks gestation to avoid cesarean section due to breech presentation, which was confirmed by her Ob/Gyn. The patient also had low back pain that was exacerbated by the pregnancy.

Interventions and Outcomes: The patient was evaluated using Webster Technique protocol and was found to have sacro-iliac subluxations, as well as trigger points along the round ligament. Webster Technique was administered a total of two times to address subluxations and trigger points. The fetus shifted from the breech position to transverse after the first visit. After the second visit, the fetus shifted from transverse to vertex. The patient continued to seek chiropractic care due to pregnancy related low back pain.

Conclusions: The patient avoided cesarean section and had an uncomplicated vaginal delivery following administration of the Webster Technique protocol.

Iv'e been seeing Dr. Maj for over 2 years now. Orginally I had hurt my back and was having a hard time with taking the physical agility tests for police dept's, even though I was in great shape. No matter how great of shape you are, if your back is bad..nothing else matters. I've avoided surgery and really enjoy getting the manual adjustments from Dr. Maj. She is VERY strong and I've had over 5 different chiropractors throughout my life, and they never had the technique, strength and touch that she does! I'm one of those people that just doesn't get anything out of the electronic adjusting machine, so a manual adjustment is crucial for me..let alone a QUALITY one. You'll never go anywhere else once you try Dr. Maj or Dr. Miller.
