   	My baby is breech. Is it true she might flip with the Webster technique?
   	The Webster technique is a chiropractic method that was developed to help the fetus move freely–and it can be used to prevent and convert breech-birthing positions. The technique tends to be most effective when used earlier in pregnancy, but it’s never too late to try. (The Webster technique has been successful in turning a breech baby as late as 39 weeks.)   A chiropractor trained in the technique can assess your situation to determine whether there are imbalances in the bones, ligaments and muscles in your pelvis that may be causing a breech position. If these imbalances are found, your chiropractor will then use chiropractic adjustments to restore balance, which may give your baby the room she needs to flip. Visit www.icpa4kids.org to find a chiropractor trained in the Webster technique in your area.
