Correction of Foetal Position

The use of Acupuncture in breech presentation has attracted much attention, resent reports from China have shown Acupuncture increases fetal activity, usually enough to turn the foetus from breech to cephalic presentation. Studies from China also showed success rates ranging from 89.9% to 90.3%.

The optimal time form the treatment of a breech presentation is 34th week of gestation, this gives a higher rate of success.

Here at Auckland Acupuncture Centre's clinic we have many midwives referring women to have treatment when they are found to have foetal malposition often with good results.

The treatment involves weekly treatment from an Acupuncturist and the use of moxa on specific points which is done at home for 15 minutes a day for 10 days, during this time if you feel the babies position has changed  you should seek confirmation from your midwife. 

If you would like to make an appointment please call us on (09) 630-9388, or if you require more information you may e-mail us at info@aac.net.nz
