Abnormal fetal positioning
Many women may discover their fetus is in an improper position, breech
(feet first) or transverse lie (fetus is in an angle in the uterus).
After the seventh month of gestation, if a fetus is in this type of
abnormal position, it can be subject to biomechanical stress leading to
vertebral subluxations. Any abnormal biomechanical stresses to the
vertebra may cause abnormal development of cartilage structures (which
eventually become boney). A chiropractor trained in evaluating and
treating pregnant women for abnormal fetal positioning can adjust the
patient with good results (97% successful). This is a safe method, not
only for mother but for the fetus and normal positioning of the fetus
usually occurs within 4 to 5 visits. When the fetus is in a normal
position, it’s chances of developing properly in the uterus, greatly
increase.
