You just got news you weren't expecting
Finding out your baby is breech at 34 or 36 weeks is one of those moments that sends you straight to your phone. You deserve to feel informed and empowered right now, not panicked and alone with a search bar at midnight.
Here's what I see in my practice: parents in Shakopee, Prior Lake, and Savage navigating this exact moment, trying to figure out what their real options are. The word "breech" lands differently when it's YOUR baby, and YOU need real answers.
The Webster Technique is not about flipping babies. I want to be clear about that upfront, because I know that's the version floating around the internet. What it is about is your nervous system, your pelvis, and creating the structural balance that gives your baby the best possible environment to find the right position on their own. Your body was designed to do this. Sometimes it just needs a little help getting out of its own way.
What the Webster Technique actually is
The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment protocol for pregnant people. I'm board-certified through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) to perform it.
It works by addressing tension and imbalance in the sacrum, the ligaments connected to the uterus, and the surrounding muscles. When those structures are functioning well, the uterus has more room and less tension. Your body is designed to be self-healing. The Webster Technique removes interference so it can do its job.
It's gentle, tonal, and brain-based. You'll be on a pregnancy table designed for this, and the adjustments look very different from what most people picture when they think of chiropractic care.
Why I do this, and what makes my approach different
I'm Dr. Kristen Hager and I stand for a world where moms don't have to suffer. That's the reason I built this practice.
I'm a Certified Chiropractic Pediatrician (CACCP), Webster Technique Certified through the ICPA, and a Certified Chiropractic Acupuncturist. I'm also a Body Ready Method Professional and trained in Spinning Babies techniques.
Chiropractic care is genuinely DIFFERENT at Delightful because I use gentle, tonal, brain-based methods including instrument adjusting tools, cranial work, craniosacral techniques, and myofascial release. I'm not looking at your spine in isolation. I'm thinking about your nervous system, how your body is responding to the demands of pregnancy, and what it needs to function the way it was designed to.

What changes when your pelvis is balanced
Less tension, more room for your baby to move. When the pelvis and its supporting ligaments are working well, many people notice reduced discomfort and more fetal movement. That's not a coincidence.
Pregnancy support that goes far beyond breech. Most of my Webster patients continue care through the end of their pregnancy. It helps with back pain, round ligament discomfort, and that particular third-trimester feeling of being completely done with all of this.
A care team, not a replacement. I work alongside OBs and midwives across the south metro. You're not choosing between providers. You're adding someone who takes the whole picture seriously.
Frequently Asked Questions
This is your sub-headline
Yes. There are no high-velocity manipulations to your belly or uterus. You'll be positioned on a pregnancy table designed for this, and every adjustment is adapted to where you are in your pregnancy. This is one of the gentlest protocols I use.
It's NOT too late, but earlier is generally better. I work with people at every stage of pregnancy, including late third trimester. Reach out and we'll talk through your timeline before your next OB appointment.
Yes, always. I'm part of your team, not separate from it. Many providers across the south metro are familiar with Webster care and supportive of their patients pursuing it alongside traditional prenatal care.
No. I use Webster analysis and adjustment throughout pregnancy for pelvic pain, round ligament discomfort, general structural support, and birth preparation. You don't need a breech diagnosis to benefit.
