Natural Medicine in Pregnancy and Labor
Chiropractors
Chiropractors are doctors whom focus on aligning the spinal column. Chiropractors utilize many of the same comfort measures as Birth Doulas, such as hot and cold, stimulation, and relaxation.
In addition, certified chiropractors can perform the Webster Technique to help turn breech babies into a position better conducive to birth.

Acupuncturists
Acupuncturists are practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine. In Acupuncture, thin needles are used to puncture the skin at acupuncture points along a meridian (pathway) of energy. This is believed to free blocked energy flow that causes disease. Acupressure is a variation of acupuncture in which pressure is used instead of needles.
Acupuncturists may perform moxibustion to turn a breech baby.
Acupuncture/Acupressure also may be used to induce labor.
