Easing Round Ligament Pain During Pregnancy: How the Webster Technique Can Help

No items found.
May 20, 2024

Pregnancy brings about a multitude of changes in a woman's body, some of which can cause significant discomfort. One common issue that expectant mothers experience is round ligament pain. This type of pain is sharp and usually occurs in the lower belly or groin area during the second trimester. Thankfully, chiropractic care, particularly through the Webster Technique, offers a safe and effective way to manage this discomfort. At Pinnacle Chiropractic in Lakewood Ranch, FL, our prenatal chiropractors are well-equipped to support you through this challenge.

Understanding Round Ligament Pain

Round ligament pain occurs as the ligaments that support your uterus stretch to accommodate the growing baby. This stretching can cause brief, sharp pains or a dull ache that is often felt during sudden movements, such as standing up, turning in bed, or even coughing. Although this pain is generally not harmful, it can be quite uncomfortable and disruptive.

Role of a Prenatal Chiropractor

A prenatal chiropractor specializes in caring for pregnant women, focusing particularly on maintaining pelvic balance and alleviating discomforts associated with pregnancy, such as round ligament pain. By ensuring that your pelvic bones are properly aligned and that the ligaments and muscles around the uterus are relaxed, a chiropractor can help reduce the strain on your round ligaments.

How the Webster Technique Helps

The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic protocol designed to maintain a healthy pelvic balance during pregnancy. This technique involves a gentle adjustment that optimizes the function of the pelvic nerves and muscles, and ensures proper alignment of the pelvic bones. Here’s how it can help alleviate round ligament pain:

  1. Reduced Tension on Ligaments: By correcting misalignments in the pelvis, the Webster Technique reduces the abnormal tension on the round ligaments, thus decreasing the sharp pains associated with their stretching.
  2. Enhanced Pelvic Function: Proper alignment of the pelvic bones enhances the function of the entire pelvic girdle, which can prevent the aggravation of round ligament pain.
  3. Improved Comfort: Regular adjustments can improve overall comfort and mobility during pregnancy, making daily activities less painful and more enjoyable.
  4. Preparation for Childbirth: Maintaining pelvic balance is crucial not only for alleviating pain but also for preparing the body for an easier and safer delivery.

Hear what our patients have to say about their experience at Pinnacle.

Both of my kids have made improvements since starting here 4 months ago and my husband and I have learned a lot too.
Can’t say enough good things about Pinnacle Chiropractic! While my son Ryan may have a fav doc ;-) we love all the docs and the whole staff here equally!!! Everyone is warm, friendly and welcoming. Moving from a different state and trying to find our tribe here was challenging, but we were welcomed in and Pinnacle has helped us find our way. Both of my kids have made improvements since starting here 4 months ago and my husband and I have learned a lot too. We are very grateful for the whole Pinnacle team and recommend them whenever we can.
My 8 yr old daughter with Sensory Processing Issues has had transformative results.
She may still not like everything, but she is calmly declining instead of melting down. She had also become adverse to hugs and touch. Now she is wanting to be held again. Initially, she was aprehensive about her "massage" as I referred to her appointments. However, the staff is amazing. Your child is loved and welcomed by everyone. I couldn't be more pleased.
