Bel Air chiropractor, Dr. Evan Christman, frequently prevents necessity for C-section.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) June 27, 2011 --
Dr. Evan Christman, the Bel Air chiropractor who runs Christman Family Practice: A Creating Wellness Center on Route 22 in Bel Air, Maryland, is able to help some patients avoid having to have a C-section due to a breech baby.

The breech position is when the baby is head-up. This is normal up to the seventh month of pregnancy, but after that it can put stress on the baby and create problems for natural childbirth.

Almost every breech-positioned baby is now delivered by cesarean section. However, Dr. Evan utilizes a chiropractic technique that can help realign the pelvis to allow the baby to reposition itself so that it is no longer in a breech position and can be delivered without having to resort to a C-section.

The technique is called the Webster technique and according to the July/August 2002 issue of the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics (JMPT) the technique has an 82% success rate of turning the babies head down.

Dr. Evan states, “We can do wonderful things to help a breech baby in many cases. The key, though, is identifying the problem early. We do not want to wait until week 37 to try to fix the situation. The earlier we can identify any potential problems, the more likely it is that we can provide the solution. Unfortunately, in many cases, a woman will wait until she has already scheduled an external version with their doctor. It is important if someone is pregnant to come into the chiropractic office early and often.”

The International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) reports that chiropractic care during pregnancy with the Webster technique (even when the baby’s position is not breech) can have a positive impact in supporting natural childbirth and optimizes neuro-biomechanical function of the pelvis.

Most patients who’ve been under chiropractic care during their pregnancy experience more comfortable pregnancies and easier births. Dr. Evan is a wellness chiropractor that helps not only pregnant women, but also newborns, children and other adults. He does not just help alleviate back and neck pain, but provides full service care for the overall wellness of the body.

By the time a symptom has appeared, that is often just the tip of the iceberg. In many cases, just as with a breech baby, the problem can be avoided altogether through a complete wellness program, which includes chiropractic as its foundation.
