Pelvic instability - Painful pelvic girdle in pregnancy.

Abstract

General practitioners are in an ideal position to diagnose pelvic instability, implement treatment, and refer for further care to a physiotherapist with an interest in women's health. Use of a supportive belt or taping, appropriate analgesia, core stability and pelvic floor exercises, and avoiding heavy lifting and activities that exacerbate the pain are the mainstays of treatment.
