How much does acupuncture turn a breech baby?

The belly of a breech pregnant woman is often hard and distorted. During pregnancy, the “blood” is drained more and more, so pregnant women are very tired of living the same life as usual, causing various physical problems and making the belly more distorted and stiff.

 

Such a belly is soft and round after receiving acupuncture for breech delivery, and both doctors and midwives are amazed at this change.

When a pregnant woman’s belly becomes round and soft, it is easier for the breech to turn, so “acupuncture and moxibustion craniofacial therapy” helps pregnant women regain their natural “round and soft belly”.

Please be assured that even if your belly is distorted or stiff, a pregnant woman’s belly will often change its expression. Please take it easy and spend your time even if your belly returns to a round and soft state after the treatment😊.

Sometimes I get asked by pregnant women with breech babies, “How likely is it that the breech baby will turn if I get acupuncture?” I am asked, so I have recently started to write the results in a chart.

However, the pregnant women who come to the clinic are at different gestational weeks, receive different frequency and number of treatments, and have different risks, so they cannot simply be compared in one.

Each pregnancy and each breech baby is unique, so please use this as a reference only.(It is said that the smaller the fetus is, the easier it is to turn, and the more likely it is to turn if the acupuncture treatment is performed while the fetus is estimated to weigh less than 2000 g.)
