SPD and Round Ligament Pain: Chiropractic Relief for Pregnancy Discomfort

‍Understanding SPD and Round Ligament Pain During Pregnancy

SPD occurs when the ligaments that normally keep your pubic bone aligned become too relaxed and stretched due to hormonal changes, causing the joint to become unstable. Round ligament pain, on the other hand, involves discomfort in the ligaments that support your uterus as it grows, and is typically felt on one or both sides of your lower belly or groin.

These conditions are often misunderstood or dismissed as normal pregnancy aches. However, they can significantly impact your ability to enjoy this important time. Common signs include:

• Pain when walking, climbing stairs, or turning in bed
• Sharp twinges or pulling sensations in the belly or hip area
• Pelvic instability or a “waddling” feeling when on your feet
• Discomfort that interferes with sleep and movement

How Chiropractic Care Helps Relieve Pregnancy Discomfort

Dr. Kyle Hurst uses gentle, evidence-based chiropractic techniques to address the root causes of SPD and round ligament discomfort, promoting natural alignment and relieving pressure on overly stretched or irritated soft tissues.
