Natural Support for Breech Presentation
Acupuncture combined with moxibustion, a gentle herbal heat therapy, can naturally encourage optimal fetal positioning. Today, many expecting parents turn to this safe and well-tolerated technique as a holistic alternative to more invasive medical procedures, like external cephalic version (ECV).
With extensive experience in breech protocol, our team can treat you and baby in our clinic, and also provide guidance for at-home applications, supporting your ideal delivery.
