How Acupuncture Can Help Reposition a Breech Baby

A breech presentation, where the baby is positioned feet- or bottom-first instead of head-down, occurs in approximately 3-4% of full-term pregnancies. While many babies naturally turn on their own before birth, some remain in a breech position, increasing the likelihood of interventions such as a cesarean section. Fortunately, acupuncture and a traditional Chinese medicine technique called moxibustion offer a natural, non-invasive approach to encouraging a breech baby to turn.
