The M-O Maneuver
Maternal Orientation Maneuver
Dr. Francis Murphy developed the M-O Maneuver as a focused, low-force chiropractic approach for pregnant women experiencing morning sickness. The evaluation looks for a specific structural pattern and, when appropriate, uses a direction-specific correction followed by reassessment.
The approach involves skeletal geometry and is not intended to replace prenatal or obstetric care.
THE M-O APPROACH
A Focused Look at Structure, Position & Pregnancy
01
Maternal Orientation Maneuver evaluation checks for a specific clinical structural pattern.
02
If the pattern is not present, no adjustment is administered.
03
If the clinical pattern is present, a direction-specific correction is applied.
04
Correcting this structural pattern may help normalize the orientation of the uterus.
05
A specific reassessment confirms the structural pattern has been addressed.
