What causes breech presentation?
The cause of breech presentation is said to be unknown.
In traditional Chinese medicine, there are various possible causes, including coldness in the mother's body, lack of qi and blood, qi stagnation, and fatigue.

When should I start treatment for breech presentation?
This is from 28 to 36 weeks of pregnancy. If you find out that your baby is in a breech position, please see a doctor as soon as possible.
There is a high chance of it returning to normal up to 34 weeks, but between 35 and 36 weeks, the baby will have grown so it will be more difficult to return to normal.

You will be required to visit our clinic twice a week.
Even if the baby is corrected from a breech position, there is a possibility that it may turn again, so we use moxibustion to prevent the baby from turning breech in preparation for birth.
