Postural Changes: As the belly grows, the body shifts its center of gravity, placing extra pressure on the hips and lower back. Pelvic Girdle Pain (PGP): Also known as symphysis pubis dysfunction (SPD), this condition causes pain and discomfort due to excessive movement or misalignment in the pelvic joints. Sciatic Nerve Compression: The expanding uterus can put pressure on the sciatic nerve, leading to hip pain that radiates down the leg. Muscle Imbalances: Tight or weak muscles in the lower back, glutes, or thighs can contribute to hip discomfort and difficulty moving. Understanding the Pelvic Girdle The pelvic girdle is a ring of bones that connects the spine to the lower limbs, providing support and stability. During pregnancy, the pelvic girdle undergoes significant changes due to hormonal and mechanical factors. The increased flexibility in the pelvic joints, combined with postural shifts, can cause discomfort or dysfunction, particularly in the sacroiliac (SI) joints and pubic symphysis. When the pelvic girdle becomes unstable, it can lead to Pelvic Girdle Pain (PGP), which may cause discomfort in the lower back, hips, groin, and thighs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6254f7548e9ad1498bb20250/f60f97af-d270-4a09-9136-8f660649fbb7/pregnacy_pain_treatment_osteo_near_me_melbourne_pelvic_girdle_pain.jpeg Education - Hip Pain During Pregnancy How Osteopathy Can Help Relieve Hip Pain During Pregnancy Osteopathy is a gentle, hands-on approach that focuses on restoring balance and movement in the body.

Dental Issues: Misaligned teeth, bite problems, or frequent dental work can contribute to jaw dysfunction. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6254f7548e9ad1498bb20250/adccb569-90c5-4d2d-8a9d-2625e4aa5ec9/a2.jpg Education - Understanding TMJ and How Osteopathy Can Help with Jaw Pain - Osteopathic Techniques for TMJ Relief Jaw Mobilisation: Gentle manual adjustments can help restore normal movement and reduce restrictions in the TMJ.
