Help for Prenatal Hip Pain in Winter Springs & Oviedo
From mild discomfort to sharp, mobility-limiting aches, hip pain is a common concern for moms-to-be. These symptoms often develop as your body adapts to accommodate your growing baby. Pain can disrupt walking, sleeping, and daily activities, affecting your comfort throughout pregnancy.
Winter Springs Chiropractor Dr. Liz Mojica provides gentle, pregnancy-safe chiropractic care to help relieve hip pain, restore balance, and support your body’s ability to move with ease.
Why Hip Pain Develops
During pregnancy, hormonal changes—particularly an increase in relaxin—loosen the ligaments that support your hips and pelvis. While this prepares your body for childbirth, it can also cause joint instability and discomfort. Other contributing factors include:
- Pelvic misalignment or uneven weight distribution, placing stress on hip joints and muscles
- Postural changes and altered gait as your center of gravity shifts
- Muscle imbalances and tightness in the hips, lower back, and thighs
- Pressure on the sciatic nerve that causing radiating pain into the hip or leg
These changes can combine to create persistent or recurring discomfort if not addressed early.
