If you've experienced a sudden, pulling, or sharp pain on one or both sides of your lower abdomen...especially when rolling over in bed, standing up quickly, coughing, or walking, you may be experiencing round ligament pain.
What are round ligaments?
The round ligaments are rope-like structures that help support your growing uterus. As your baby grows and your uterus expands, these ligaments stretch and work harder, sometimes leading to discomfort or pain.
Why does it happen?
-Rapid growth of the uterus
-Hormonal changes causing ligaments to become more relaxed
-Changes in posture and center of gravity
-Increased stress and tension on the pelvis and surrounding muscles
How may chiropractic care help?
Chiropractic care during pregnancy focuses on promoting proper alignment and movement of the pelvis and spine. Many pregnant women report that regular chiropractic care helps them:
✔️ Move more comfortably
✔️ Reduce tension and stress throughout the body
✔️ Support better pelvic balance
✔️ Improve overall comfort during pregnancy
While chiropractic care isn't a treatment for round ligament pain specifically, addressing areas of restriction and supporting nervous system function may help your body adapt more efficiently to the physical changes of pregnancy.
You don't have to simply "push through" every ache and pain of pregnancy. You deserve support along the way while growing a human. ❤️
