This Deep Dive podcast explores a compelling case of interprofessional collaboration between a chiropractor and midwife to resolve a breech fetal lie at 37 weeks gestation. The episode delves into the biomechanics of pregnancy, emphasizing the role of vertebral subluxation and ligament tension—particularly in the psoas minor—as potential anatomical barriers to optimal fetal positioning. Through chiropractic care using the Webster Technique, followed by a successful second attempt at external cephalic version (ECV), the baby turned head-down, resulting in a vaginal birth. The hosts highlight the power of optimizing the maternal internal environment and advocate for broader adoption of collaborative, non-invasive prenatal care.
