One of the more common joint pains experienced during pregnancy or postpartum is the Symphysis Pubic Dysfunction, or SPD in short. During pregnancy the ligaments around symphysis pubic region is naturally relaxed and softened as a natural course in preparation for the baby’s birth. The pelvis is the largest part of the human skeleton. It consists of three joints; the pubic symphysis and both the right and left sacroiliac joints. Massive ligaments support and surround these joints. These biological changes during pregnancy can cause pain as a result of the instability in the pelvic joint region.
