Pregnant women can benefit from Dr. Carradine’s gentle chiropractic methods to find and correct misalignments of the pelvis and spine, along with soft tissue techniques for spasm. During the treatment, the patient lays on a cushion specifically designed for pregnant women. Often within 24-48 hours of the first chiropractic adjustment, the baby will change from breech into the proper vertex position, but sometimes, it takes 2 weeks or more. The most success occurs between 32 and 37 weeks of gestation. After 37 weeks, the fetus may be too large to change positions. Success can occur after 37 weeks, but the likelihood of turning decreases.
