Round Ligament Pain During Pregnancy

Round ligament pain during pregnancy — common but not normal.

The round ligaments suspend the uterus and they become stretched, tight and often painful during pregnancy.

When the round ligaments are painful, it is a sign that there may be tension and imbalance within the pelvis and the uterus. When the ligaments tighten, especially on one side more than the other, it can cause torsion in the uterus, often leading to constraint and malposition for the baby.

All of the doctors at Pure Light are certified in the Webster technique for pregnancy care. Prenatal chiropractic adjustments from doctors certified in the Webster technique can help gently balance the pelvis, release the tension in the round ligaments, promote safe baby position, and best prepare your body for birth and a strong postpartum recovery.
