After many years of research and study, Dr.'s. Karen and Larry Bagnell are honored to present the Bagnell Technique for Breech Presentation to the Chiropractic profession.  Dr.'s. Bagnell 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 Bagnell started using Webster’s Technique when she was still a student at Life more than 10 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. As a result, the quest for a new technique began.

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 places emphasis on the alignment of the pubes.  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.

Dr.'s. Karen and Larry Bagnell 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.
