How much does acupuncture turn a breech baby?
The belly of a breech pregnant women is hard and distorted.
I treat pregnant women so that their bellies are sofut and round.
I also help pregnant women with pregnancy problems.
pregnancy problems include edema, back pain, and other symptoms that reduce quality of life.
I offeer acupuncture to help the pregnant women’s body adjust. After thet, do breech moxibustion.
In this way, most breech babies will come around.
