Webster Technique for Breech Babies | Sunshine Chiropractic West Melbourne

Hearing that your baby is in a breech position can be a source of concern for many expectant parents. While some babies naturally flip on their own, others may need a little help. At Sunshine Chiropractic in West Melbourne, we offer a safe, gentle, and non-invasive approach that may assist your baby in finding the optimal head-down position: the Webster Technique.
Dr. Jessica Durso specializes in this specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment. The Webster Technique is not about manually turning the baby. Instead, its primary goal is to optimize the mother’s pelvic function and structure. A misaligned pelvis can create intrauterine constraint, which essentially means there's less room for the baby to move freely. This constraint can be a contributing factor to why a baby might not be able to turn from a breech to a vertex (head-down) position.
During a Webster Technique session, Dr. Durso will carefully analyze the sacrum and pelvis for any subluxations (misalignments). Gentle, targeted adjustments are then applied to restore proper pelvic balance. This also involves addressing tension in the round ligament, which can be taut and contribute to uterine constraint. By releasing this tension and restoring proper pelvic alignment, we aim to create a more relaxed and accommodating environment inside the womb.
This procedure can provide your baby with the space and freedom they need to turn on their own. The Webster Technique is recognized by the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) as a valuable tool for supporting a healthy pregnancy. It's a gentle and safe option, and many mothers opt for it in the third trimester when a breech presentation is confirmed.
