ROUND LIGAMENT PAIN WHEN PREGNANT IN BOULDER, CO

Round Ligament Pain in Pregnancy: How Chiropractic Care & the Webster Technique Can Help​

Round ligament pain is one of the most common—and often surprising—discomforts that pregnant people experience. As the uterus grows, the round ligaments stretch and tighten, leading to sharp, pulling, or stabbing sensations in the lower belly, pelvis, or groin. For many expecting moms in this pain can make walking, turning in bed, getting up from a chair, or even simple daily tasks feel challenging.

​

At Evol.v Chiropractic in Boulder, we specialize in prenatal chiropractic care, offering safe and effective support for round ligament pain through gentle adjustments and the Webster Technique. Our goal is to help you feel more balanced, comfortable, and aligned during every stage of pregnancy.

​

What Causes Round Ligament Pain?​

During pregnancy, the round ligaments are responsible for supporting the uterus as it expands. These ligaments stretch significantly and can become tight or strained, especially when there is:

• Pelvic misalignment

• Uneven ligament tension

• Rapid changes in position

• Core instability

• Stress on the pelvis from baby’s position

• Sacral or low-back imbalance

• Increased physical activity

​​

Although round ligament pain is common, it doesn’t have to be something you simply “push through.” Chiropractic care can make a meaningful difference in how your body adapts throughout pregnancy.

​

How Chiropractic Care Helps With Round Ligament Pain​

When the pelvis or sacrum becomes misaligned, it creates uneven tension on the round ligaments. This imbalance not only contributes to pain but can also affect how baby is positioned in the uterus. By restoring proper alignment, chiropractic care can:

• Reduce strain on the round ligaments

• Improve pelvic alignment and stability

• Decrease sharp or pulling pain in the lower pelvis

• Support optimal baby positioning

• Improve mobility and comfort in daily activities

• Help your body adapt more easily to the physical demands of pregnancy

​

At Evol.v Chiropractic, our chiropractors provide gentle, pregnancy-safe adjustments that work with your body—not against it—to ease tension, relieve pain, and support overall function.

​

Why the Webster Technique Is Especially Effective

​The Webster Technique, also known as the Webster Method, is a specialized prenatal chiropractic protocol designed specifically to balance the pelvis and reduce tension in the round ligaments and surrounding soft tissues. It includes:

• Gentle sacral adjustments

• Soft tissue release of the round ligaments

• Muscle balancing techniques

• Pelvic alignment protocols

​​

By restoring balance to the pelvis and surrounding structures, the Webster Technique reduces mechanical stress on the round ligaments, easing pain and helping your body move more freely.

​

Our Boulder chiropractors are Webster-certified through the ICPA (International Chiropractic Pediatric Association), meaning they have completed advanced training in pregnancy and prenatal biomechanics to ensure the highest standard of care for expecting moms.

​

Benefits for Pregnancy Comfort and Birth Preparation​

Supporting the round ligaments and pelvic alignment through prenatal chiropractic care may help with:

• Reduced round ligament pain

• Less lower back and hip discomfort

• More easeful movement and sleep

• Better balance and stability

• Improved nervous system regulation

• More optimal fetal positioning

• Smoother, less stressful labor and delivery experience

​​

Balancing the pelvis and supporting ligament function allows the uterus to align more effectively, which may contribute to a smoother birthing process with less interference and more natural flow.
