After many years of research and study, Dr. Karen Gardner Bagnell and Dr. Larry Bagnell are honored to present the Bagnell Technique for Breech Presentation to the Chiropractic profession.  Both doctors have had the honor and privilege to work with several hundred expectant mothers and their midwives, doulas, childbirth educators and obstetricians. They are proud to have an extremely high success rate while using their technique. Often within 48 hours of the first adjustment to the mother's spine and pelvis, the baby will turn on it's own into a vertex position.

The Bagnell Technique for Breech Presentation was designed with the breech baby in mind, but has also been used very effectively for transverse, oblique and posterior presentations as well. It is a chiropractic technique that focuses on the alignment of the spine and pelvis of the mother to be. It is NOT in any way a medical procedure such as an external version.

Dr. Karen Gardner Bagnell is currently interviewing doctors who would like to become certified in the Bagnell Technique as well as trained in the Bagnell System for Pre-Natal Care.  For more information on this specialty training please click here and fill out the form.

Most recently Dr. Larry Bagnell has uncovered a very specific order of adjusting that has catapulted their success rate even higher.  When this precise order or adjusting is followed, the results are unbelievable.

Both doctors use their technique everyday in their office, the Bagnell Chiropractic Life Centre. Their technique focuses on subluxation removal, alignment of the pelvis and releasing ligamentous spasms. However, it is unlike the other techniques that are currently being taught. This technique has a different primary focus and protocol than the other techniques. They are proud to offer this alternative to their profession.

Hi Karen,

I Just received your Pre-Natal Chiropractice Care book yesterday.  I have only read the first 20 pages, but Mamamiya - excellent presentation.

So simple, so straight forward.  Way To Go!!!   It just make things much easier to understand and explain.  On Aug 8 - I am invited to be a guest speaker at the formation of the Israel Doulas Association.

Dr. Karen Gardner Bagnell started using Webster’s Technique when she was still a student at Life more than 17 years ago, but didn't get the results she was hoping for.   It was then that she realized she needed to know how and why a baby mal-presents and when Dr. Larry Webster couldn't supply her with the information she requested, the quest for a new technique began.  She and Dr. Larry Bagnell even approached a prominent pediatric association to try and share their discoveries but instead of being embraced and welcomed, they were given an emphatic "no way, get lost".  So they were forced to share their important advancements to their professions on their own.

The only technique that vaguely resembles The Bagnell Technique is in fact Webster’s. This resemblance lies in the fact that both techniques address the breech baby and that neither claims to turn babies, but that is where the similarities end. While Webster’s technique places emphasis on the round ligament, The Bagnell Technique has placed emphasis on the alignment of the pubes since 1994.  In Webster’s technique, sacral posteriority is key, however, The Bagnell Technique has uncovered that sacral rotation plays a much more significant role than posteriority alone. The Bagnell Technique also incorporates the importance of C2, coccyx and the sacrotuberous ligaments, where as there is no mention of them at all in Webster’s technique.
