Round Ligament Pain Relief | Pregnancy Chiropractor Deerfield Beach

Round ligament pain is one of the most common—and often surprising—sources of discomfort during pregnancy. While it’s a normal part of your body adapting to your growing baby, the sharp, pulling sensations can interfere with everyday activities.

At Great Life Chiropractic, conveniently located in Deerfield Beach, we proudly serve patients from Deerfield Beach, Boca Raton, and surrounding South Florida communities, helping expectant mothers find safe, natural relief from round ligament pain. Our pregnancy certified chiropractor, Dr. Jacqueline Tsiapalis, focuses on restoring balance, reducing tension, and helping you move comfortably throughout your pregnancy.

The round ligaments are bands of connective tissue that support your uterus as it grows during pregnancy. As your body changes, these ligaments stretch and adapt—sometimes leading to discomfort.

Round ligament pain is typically described as:

Sharp or pulling pain in the lower abdomen
Discomfort in the pelvis, groin, or hips
Sudden pain when standing, walking, or changing positions
Tightness or aching after activity

Although it’s common, persistent or intense discomfort shouldn’t be ignored—especially when relief is available.

Several natural pregnancy changes contribute to round ligament discomfort, including:

Rapid Uterine Growth: Increased tension on the ligaments as the uterus expands
Hormonal Changes: Looser ligaments can become strained more easily
Pelvic Misalignment: Uneven positioning can place extra stress on one side
Postural Changes: Shifts in weight and balance increase strain on the abdomen
Sudden Movements: Quick transitions can trigger sharp ligament pain

Addressing these underlying factors is key to lasting relief.

At Great Life Chiropractic, we use gentle, targeted techniques to reduce the strain placed on the round ligaments and improve overall pelvic balance.

Your pregnancy care plan with Dr. Jacqueline Tsiapalis, our prenatal chiropractor specialist, may include:

Gentle Pelvic Adjustments: Restore proper alignment and reduce uneven tension
Prenatal Chiropractic (Webster Technique): Supports balanced pelvic function and optimal baby positioning
Soft Tissue Therapy: Relieves tight muscles that contribute to ligament strain
Posture & Movement Guidance: Helps prevent sudden stress on the ligaments
Pregnancy-Safe Techniques: Designed for comfort and specific for pregnant moms at every stage

By improving alignment and reducing tension, chiropractic care helps your body adapt more comfortably to pregnancy changes.

Dr. Jacqueline has ICPA certification in prenatal chiropractic care, with a focus on helping pregnant women manage conditions like round ligament pain safely and effectively.

Her approach is:

Gentle and precise, tailored to pregnancy
Focused on reducing tension and improving pelvic balance
Designed to support both maternal comfort and baby’s positioning
Always centered on safety and individualized care

At Great Life Chiropractic, you can feel confident knowing your care is designed with both you and your baby in mind.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. True professionalism. You will come out feeling better not only correction but also prevention to help you live a better life. Me as a youth basketball coach who’s continuing to be active in the community working with kids it’s so important that I have a strong Temple and Dr. G helps with that without him there’s no way I could be who I am to these kids and I’m truly thankful for him and his practice. It’s truly a family environment.

They are not only incredible chiropractors but also genuinely amazing people. As a family-owned practice, they make you feel welcomed and cared for from the moment you walk through the door.

What I appreciate most is that they take the time to truly understand your body and what it needs. They don’t just focus on relieving pain—they care about your overall health and well-being. They listen, educate you, and make sure you understand what’s happening with your body every step of the way.

Dr. Jackie and Dr. Gus are so passionate about what they do, and it shows in every interaction. They are humble, compassionate, and genuinely invested in their patients. They take the time to get to know you as a person, and you can tell they truly want the best for everyone who walks through their doors.

After more than nine months of care, I can confidently say I trust them completely. Even my husband started going! If you’re looking for chiropractors who are knowledgeable, caring, and truly dedicated to helping you feel your best, I highly recommend Dr. Jackie and Dr. Gus.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have had such a positive experience with Great Life Chiropractic. I was having very painful sciatica issues in Dec 2025. Through their work, I was able to snow ski pain free four months later in March.

I am on a maintenance program with them to keep my body aligned and healthy.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I came to Dr Jackie for help during my pregnancy in the second trimester with extreme hip and lower back pain. Moving and handling my toddler were extremely uncomfortable and nothing was helping. I came in with a budget and very concerned I wouldn’t be able to get the help I needed but they helped make it possible for me and also I’ve been consistently coming here week after week into my third trimester (currently at week 34) and feeling much much much more at ease than I was in the second. I am beyond grateful for the care and attention they provide and would HIGHLY recommend them for any pregnant moms out there looking for help with pains. I’ll most definitely be continuing chiropractic care here into postpartum and beyond. Thank you Dr Jackie and team for your help!!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was my first time going to a chiropractor and am very grateful that I found Great Life Chiropractic. Dr Gus and Jackie and their team have been such a pleasure to see every week. I found their practice to be very educational and accommodating. They moved cautiously with me because of my reservations and put together a plan to help my recovery. I was going twice a week and after three months there was noticeable improvements with my lower back and neck. They were honest and transparent with me (using X-rays and other testing measures) and have since taken me down to 1x every two weeks. I am tracking well with my exercises, stretches, and movements and look forward to my visits to keep me in-line and aligned.  No more shooting pains when I sneeze and lack of mobility in neck. Would highly recommend this family chiropractor office.
