Pelvic girdle pain (PGP) is a common issue many women face during pregnancy. It occurs due to the shifting and loosening of ligaments around the pelvis, leading to discomfort that can affect daily activities like walking, sitting, and even sleeping. Thankfully, chiropractic care offers a safe, effective way to relieve Pelvic Girdle Pain and improve mobility throughout pregnancy.
