A baby will move into the ideal position for delivery with the head moving closer to the birth canal a few weeks before birth. But some babies will be in a breech presentation. This means the baby’s buttocks and feet are positioned to deliver first. While vaginal delivery with a breech baby is not out of the question, it does come with extra risk factors such as umbilical cord prolapse, baby’s head stuck in the birth canal, and a prolonged, difficult labor.

A baby can be in a breech position due to the position of mom’s uterus and pelvis. A mom’s reproductive system can be compared to a hot air balloon (don’t get mad, you’re beautiful, we’re not calling YOU a hot air balloon, just some of your organs). Your uterus is like the balloon itself, the ligaments are the strings and your pelvis is the basket. When your pelvis is in a non-ideal position, it pulls on the strings (ligaments) and that pulls on the balloon (uterus). Chiropractic care can put the sacrum and pelvis in a better position, decreasing stress on the soft tissues associated with the uterus.

Dr. Mandy is certified in the Webster Technique that is a specifically designed Chiropractic technique that helps settle the pelvis, allowing from proper movement that may contribute to baby presenting in a mal-presentation, and any other causes of dystocia (difficult labor). While receiving this adjustment late in pregnancy can be extremely helpful, the sooner you start in your pregnancy the better the results will be and easier to maintain.

I am grateful for Dr. Mandy and her crew. I feel a million times better than the first time I walked through the door. Everyone is always nice and welcoming. I am thankful for such wonderful care and health advice.

I have always been a little skeptical of chiropractors. I have been to several in the past and it was always a good crack to the neck and that was that. My wife heard of Aspen family from a close personal friend and immediately wanted to get an exam to help with her chronic neck pain. I told her not to expect much but the difference in her health has been night and day. She used to struggle to do simple tasks because her neck would get hurt so easily. She couldn’t even turn her head to merge into traffic while driving. The last couple months have given her such relief. It has been a wonderful change in her health and in her physical ability to keep up with life. Thank you Aspen Family!

We love Dr. Mandy! She has been such a blessing to our family. My son has been walking with a limp for as long as I can remember and he is almost 13. I assumed it was a learned behavior and it wasn't until I started seeing her for my own chronic neck problems that I began to wonder if my son may be struggling with a structural issue. I got his scans done and wow his body was kind of crooked! I started him on a plan right away and Mandy has done wonders for him. She genuinely cares about me and my family and it shows every time we go. If you have kiddos with issues of any kind, Aspen Family is the place to go. You will be hard pressed to find a chiropractor who cares about your family like Mandy does.

I have struggled with neck pain since high school and pretty much gave up on ever getting significant relief. I have gone to chiropractors my whole life but Dr. Mandy see’s people as whole people. She listens to you in a way that is difficult to come by anymore. No matter how many people are in the office, she is fully present with you and takes her time every time. The staff are welcoming and warm every time you walk through the door. For the first time in many years, I can turn my head to merge lanes while driving and I don’t have to turn my whole body! We love Aspen Family and we can’t recommend them enough!

We can't say enough about Aspen Family. From the first visit I knew my boys were in good hands. Mandy and her team take the time to go above and beyond. The care she takes to really listen always impresses me. We highly reccomend any family with young children make this a part of their self-care routine, it's so much more than an adjustment.

Dr Mandy, Rio, Kristi and the crew at Aspen Chiro are excellent at what they do. I’ve seen four different chiropractors since the age of 22. Dr Mandy is the first physician I have had dedicated to my health and recovery and not just “til next time” or just ringing the cash register! She is laser focused on all aspects of the patients health and has the depth of knowledge to back it up. Kristi moves mountains to get you in when your schedule allows it and makes payments a breeze. Everybody is warm, inviting and genuinely makes you feel welcome. There’s always a great vibe and different tunes for anyones taste as well. You will have a great experience here, Dr. Mandy and her team are the best.
