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.

Patient Stories: Discover Reviews by Satisfied Chiropractic Patients

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

Please if you are concern about your child’s overall well-being please go to Pinnacle Chiropractor, you won’t regret it, they have changed our lives.
We are so thankful with Dr. Matt, Dr. Jordan and all the staff. My son is a completely different kid. We contacted Dr. Matt because my son was getting sick all the time (he had the flu twice, strep, pneumonia, and tonsilitis this year) had a really hard time sleeping and was a picky eater. His pediatrician said that he would grow out of it, just to give him time, but I felt this was not enough. I wanted my son to thrive, to be a happy, healthy kid. So I talked to my pediatrician about Dr. Matt and she said to go a head and try it, that she goes to a chiropractor as well and that it has helped her a lot. So we made the decision to go, we paid for the whole treatment (people may say is “expensive”, but it is totally worth it, I would do it all over again) and the results are just amazing. My son is happier than ever, he is sleeping better, his appetite has increased, and the most important part he is healthy. He has gotten a cold here and there but he is fighting it off so much quicker and no high fevers like he used to get.
They have been the biggest support team for all my pregnancy
I love Pinnacle! Every single staff member has made such a positive impact on my pregnancy. I cannot express how grateful I am for the way they have helped my body and back feel. They have been the biggest support team for all my pregnancy and if you want support for your self, wife, partner, children, I highly recommend them.
