Any Help for Pelvic Separation?

I had pelvic separation and the only think that helped me was a chiropractic. I go to Dr Bill Boots, off college ave. Appleton.(1020 Truman street Kimbery) He uses an activator method to adjust not the old fashion kind with hands. there is very little if any pain. I find the separation more pain full than the treatment. Ajustments will help with labor and delivery too.Dr Bills number is ###-###-####. God bless you and your baby.S. D.

Hi there!
I agree with Jamie- Chiro is the way to go!! I went to one for it during my first pregnancy and did wonders. Then waited until the last month to go with the second, have suffered the whole time with it, during my second pregnancy. My third I had little problems...
They really do great with the separation and realining everything back into place that the baby tends to kick and hit out of whack!!
Good luck!! No need to suffer so much!!

Have you considered going to a Chiropractor? I went to mine for all three pregnancies right up to the end. I believe that if everything stays aligned it make for an easier delivery. All of mine were 5 hours or less. My personal Chiro is Dr Brettrick Sutton he's actually a Chiropractic/ Physician. I've been seeing him for over 14 years when needed.

I had something similar with my 3rd pregnancy and my chiropractor introduced me to my "miracle worker" Deborah Savran who does Maya Abdominal Massage. With this technique, I could walk without feeling like my entire pelvis was going to fall onto the floor.

Maya Abdominal Massage is a noninvasive, external, massage technique. It guides internal abdominal organs into their proper position for optimum health and well being. The technique works by relieving congestion and blockages to improve the flow of energy (chi) and fluids of the circulatory, lymphatic, and nervous systems. Maya massage improves organ function by releasing physical and emotional congestion from the abdomen. You can also learn more about it at http://arvigomassage.com/ and find a practitioner in your area.

If you are able to use Deborah, I highly recommend her. She's got magical hands. Deborah works out of two Minneapolis locations, Blooma at www.blooma.com (44th & France) and Northeast Minneapolis.

Good luck!

i had it with my first (fortunately haven't this time around *knocks wood*), and just suffered through it.

since that time, i've made lots of new friends who swear by chiropractors for just that thing. i haven't really needed to check into it, but apparently chiros can work wonders on a pregnant woman's body & all the little aches & pains... well, and big aches & pains. :)

good luck!

Hi, I actually had this happen while excersizing, I went to a chiropractor and she help alot, along with ice packs.

I agree with the suggestion for chiropractic. Dr Anne Langford in Highland Park helped me so much! I did have a different chiropractor in a previous pregnancy who did not know how to help me at all, so I would make sure that whoever you go to specializes in pregnant women.
Good luck!

I just had my second baby a few weeks ago and during the last month or two of my pregnancy I was having a lot of pelvic pain. I thought that it would go away after I gave birth. It is still there, but not as bad as when I was pregnant. My midwife told me to go see a chiropractor. She knew a mother that had a pelvic separation and that woman saw a chiropractor to get it taken care of. I don't know if a pelvic separation is causing my pain, but I plan on going to see a chiropractor to see what they can do.

Hi A.! I had my pelvis separate with both pregnancies. The first time Physical Therapy helped for awhile and then once I delivered I got better without issue. With my second pregnancy I actually felt a "pop" and was put on bedrest for the remainder of my pregnancy. After delivery I went to physical therapy for about 3 months. My suggestion based on that is to look into exercises that strengthen the core of your body. Anything that strengthens your back, abdominals and hips will help "pull" your pelvis back together and result in less pain. I'd also make sure to stretch your hips, especially the muscle along the front. My hips had trouble realigning and healing because the muscle on the front of my left hip had become almost permanently contracted and had actually tilted the left side of my pelvis forward.

If you have any questions about exercises, send me a note, I can get them to you. Kegels are EXTREMELY important. Otherwise, good luck with your pregnancy!

I too had this with my second pregnancy- it is very painful. The only solution I was told of was taking prescription pain meds. The pain was gone immediately after giving birth.

Good Luck!

Hi! I had a very minor case of this when I was pregnant with my 3rd. I would suggest you talk with your MD and ask for a referral to a PT who specializes in the pelvis and/or pregnancy. They will evaluate you and decide what is the best treatment for you. Treatment could possibly include manual techniques, exerices and/or bracing. It can be very helpful, but make sure you get someone with experience with the pelvis and preferably someone who knows something about treating pregnant women. Good luck and I hope the pain can be resolved some way....

You've already made your decision but it's a good one! I've been seeing a Chiropractor for the same issue the past 2-3 months. It helped with my last pregnancy as well. Unfortunately, it doesn't completely alleviate the problems (at least with me), but it sure helps me function again! Good luck!
