Breech Presentation

Breech Presentation

Breech presentation is highly successfully when treatment is administered before 35 weeks. We have seen a success rate of around 80% when done earlier in the pregnancy with it dropping by 10% for every week subsequently. That being said we have had some babies flip even as late as 37 weeks. Considering this is a very safe and non effusive form of treatment it is really worth trying before looking at manual turning of a breech baby.
This is often 2-3 treatments at the clinic combined with at home moxibustion therapy. We walk women (and their partners) through the protocol and then have them continue the treatment at home. Babies usually turn with 2-8 at home treatments
